Clint Newton has said he will play for Newcastle reserve grade next year.
The odd thing about it is that the coach for next year, Matt Lantry, was in the Knights junior system at the same time as Newton but is a year younger. Both were very good juniors but Lantry only made it as far as playing a few reserve grade games for Parramatta and this will be his first year as a coach at an NRL club.

What's odd about that?

Newton never came over as having a brilliant mind for the game, indeed, Galea eclipsed him in every aspect other than coming out of the changing rooms last and milking the crowd.

Newton was good, individually, and he was fun to watch, but that was it.

It's odd because Newton has massively more experience in the game than his coach, who has one year of coaching a park level club behind him, although he has been a junior development officer and assistant coach (junior team and one year of reserve grade) at the Knights for about 10 years (after injury ended his career at age 21).
It will be a problem if coach and captain disagree on something, because Newton has the authority of having played about 250 games at the top level, winning NRL grandfinal, etc etc, while Lantry's career highlight was playing for NSW under 18s.

That explains why the england football team are so shoite then

you must be very gullible.

Perhaps not as gullible as you think, the only problem for us might be the fact that Huddersfield want one of our best forwards as part exchange.

As stated above

They want Cox!!!! never.

I think Cox would have to start showing a little more consistency before he could be considered one of our best forwards imo.

So Lunty has gone from being a definite KR player to a "oh there might be a problem now"?

To the best of my knowledge he has spoke to rovers and agreed terms but now hudds have moved the goal posts and would prefer a player to cash

A player AND cash !

Do you or anybody know which player they want
