The 1997 NRL Grand Final Winners: The Newcastle Knights

League Freak2 years ago03 mins

In 1997 Rugby League in Australia had been split in two. Years of turmoil within the game had seen Rugby League team itself apart. While all of this was going on, something special was brewing.

If you are a rugby league fan in the UK who only follows Super League and not the NRL you must have had the time of your life on Saturday morning. Not because Wigan put in a respectable performance, though they did, and not because the shoulder charge seemed to reappear for a game (hallelujah!!)….

Mitchell Pearce Is Not Getting Any Better….

League Freak10 years ago48 mins

Before he had even played first grade football, Mitchell Pearce was being anointed as the next great halfback in Rugby League. The son of former Balmain legend Wayne Pearce, he has the bloodlines of a legend. His size and ability to defend saw people compare him to Andrew Johns. This was timely as Johns career…

In Newcastle, its not about what you know, its about who you know. The Newcastle Knights have been run for a very long time on the basis of just keeping everyone happy.

I’ve written many times before about the shambles that is the Newcastle Knights, club whom it seems only exists for the enjoyment of the playing roster. We’ve seen in the past player revolts because certain players have not been retained. Its amazing to think that only a few years ago the playing roster went berserk…

League Freaks “Golden Boot” Award Predictions

League Freak13 years ago11 years ago011 mins

Of all the people I talk to about Rugby League through my web site, forums, Twitter and just general people I know and meet, not a single one of them views the RL Worlds Golden Boot award as anything other than a joke and a complete farce.

A Note To The New South Wales Rugby League

League Freak13 years ago11 years ago05 mins

Talk is that the crowd for State Of Origin number 3 in Sydney on Wednesday night will struggle to get a big crowd. Ticket sales have supposedly been slow, people are selling tickets on EBay for cheap, and while they are talking about a crowd of 50-60,000, I’m tipping more along the likes of 40,000….

Turning Your Back On Building A Career Doing Something You Love

Brett Kimmorley has had a fantastic career. A Premiership winner, a State Of Origin veteran, a Test player, there are very few things Kimmorley has not won over the course of his amazing career.

Michael Hagan jumped before he was pushed today, calling a surprise press conference to announce he had quit as Parramatta Eels coach due to family reasons.

It was about this time last year that the whinging started as Brian Smith used the mandate given to him by the Knights board to end years of terrible football and put a broom through the entire club.

Devaluing The Australian Jersey?

League Freak18 years ago11 years ago04 mins

Suggestions that the move by Johns to be “excused” from playing the opening Tri Series match will just degrade the Australian test jersey are laughable. Let me get this straight. So in 1995 the ARL decides it wont select players that have signed up to the new Super League competition. It goes on to not…
