I HAVE witnessed three separate events recently that I believe will have a significant effect on the Newcastle Knights' future. Each involved people involved in the club now or in the past. The first two involved past players, coaches and support staff who, between them, have been with the Knights since 1988, as part of the Newcastle Knights Once a Knight Old Boys.
Last Friday they held a fundraiser to help the Old Boys in their charitable work, albeit mainly assisting former rugby league players doing it tough. It was an outstanding success, headlined by Wendell Sailor and Laurie Daley. One of the highlights was the contribution of club and regional favourite Mark Hughes.
