[edit] Coaches' Box

Just to clarify for would-be-editors, Michael Hagan is still the coach of the Newcastle Knights, hence I have listed him as 2001-current in the list of coaches, rather than 2001-2006. Of course, he will not be the coach in 2007, but until such time he is no longer coach of the Knights (is sacked, resigns, finishes his contract, dies, etc), then he is still the current coach of the Knights. --Cyclone James 14:20, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biggest winning margin

I have reverted the Knights' biggest win in the info box to 60-0, Knights vs Souths, August 8 1999. While the Knights' 70-32 defeat of Canberra in Round 2 2006 is the highest scoring match in NRL history (total 102 points), it is not the Knights' biggest win, as the winning margin is only 42 38 compared with 60 for the Knights vs Souths match.

Absolutely, thank you. NS

[edit] Life after Andrew Johns?

When in good form, ie when Andrew Johns is fit, Newcastle are seen to be the most profilic point scoring team in any League competition around the world. However, in recent times it has become clear that with the inevitable retirement of Andrew Johns in the next few years, Newcastle will struggle to remain a driving force in the NRL competition.

This seems POV, so I'm removing it. If anyone objects, leave a note on this talk page. --Lumina83 23:08, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ex-players/current squad: new format

Folks, I have re-formatted both the current players and ex-players sections, with the vast majority of information from previous editions retained. Feel free to discuss omissions or suggestions.--Alexio 13:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Added "first grade captains" section, only including "official" captains appointed by the club. Temporary appointments (eg. McCormack, M.Johns, Peden, Simpson, Parsons) are not included.

[edit] Photos

Does anyone here go to games with a camera good enough to get player photos? Andrew Johns has a disputed fair use photo on it. While it's a good photo - it's copyrighted, and to me it's unbelievable that nobody has gotten a personal picture of their biggest player.Garrie 00:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Protection

Could we get this page semi-protected? It seems a few people would like to bring attention to certain incidents regarding former Knights players. I think most of them are anonymous users. Again, if anyone knows how to protect the page, could we please do so? Journo:In:Making 10:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
