TOOHEY'S NEWS: The 'dumbest' decision the Newcastle Knights could have made

Listen to the latest episode of Toohey's News: The Podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

There are those who will tell you staff stability is one of the cornerstones of any successful organisation. It stands to reason employing the right staff and hanging onto them gives you the best chance of being successful.

That being the case, it's no wonder the Knights have struggled to even remotely come close to becoming a premiership force in almost a decade.

Incredibly, since Nathan Brown took over as Knights coach in 2016, we've worked out there have been almost 60 football department staff changes across the club. It could even be higher than that. For any number of reasons, staff have either resigned, not been reappointed or been sacked and paid out.

It's a staggering number, even for a football club. It equates to more than seven changes a year over the past eight years.
