If there was a criticism of the early Newcastle Knights, it would have been that they played a simple kind of football. Simple - and hard.
They lacked a certain flare that following generations mastered - instead, they played a brutal, crashing football that gave nothing to their opposition and cemented a legacy that Newcastle was a feared place to play; a fortress of rugby league.
But if you ask Knights legend Tony Kemp - that was the whole point.
The sire of New Zealand footy joins Toohey's News podcast host Barry Toohey this week to reveal how the Knights turned Newcastle into a feared place to play rugby league - and what the new generation can learn from their example.
