Have to say that as a Knights supporter i am pleased that most of our home games are on a Saturday or Sunday. Have only had to put on for 2 days off work for home games this year.

Nine seems to like getting 4pm Sunday game for the Knights for the NBN News lead in.

Of the 6 Channel 9 games the Knights have next year, 5 are on Sunday afternoon.

News Corp reporting tonight that the ARLC is proposing a 19-round NRL competition (when it becomes 20 teams) with each team playing each other once, plus a standalone State of Origin series, and more international matches.

I always felt the Lomax signing was going to end in tears for Parra. That’s 2 clubs that have let him go under contract.

The Sydney Roosters have partnered with Adidas on a four-year term, commencing next season.

It is the first time Adidas has supplied the apparel of an NRL club since the Gold Coast Titans between 2010-13, and before that St George Illawarra between 2006-09.

They also supply the apparel for the NSW Blues; that partnership began this year.

Eli Katoa (Melbourne Storm) will not play in the 2026 season due to his injuries that happened during the Pacific Championship.

It’s going to be a long wait which will see him from the sidelines until 2027, but we wish him a well recovery.

Wow, the Storm have really taken some hits since the GF, losing Papenhuyzen, Asofa-Solomona, Pezet and now Katoa for next year… will be interesting to see how they go now.

Sad news, but hopefully the “Big Marn” Daryl Brohman can beat this cancer too.

Considering the club keep referring to “HBF Stadium” (the swimming venue) in their socials graphics you’d hope coming back home is soon.

You’d hope both Katoa and the Storm are readying their legal teams to bankrupt the Tongan board and medical team for generations over what they did.

Does Adidas make their gear or is it a similar deal to NB?

From what I know, Adidas supplies/produces the gear.

No idea what you’re on about New Balance though.

No, they don’t, they have a partnership where Belgravia delivers the products locally to NB standards (and branding)

Essentially the same thing, its not NB product.

Very delayed but all but about 2 or 3 were from Aus with South African descent. They put up a good fight for the first half but were out muscled by NRL and Semi professional talent.

No it’s not

Yes it is
