New Knights head coach Justin Holbrook says he’s excited to have the job to bring the side from the bottom of the ladder next season.
Holbrook says he has the experience with a wooden spoon side from his time with the Titans.
He says the Newcastle community gets behind its side like few other places do.
“The thing that sticks out is the love of the game. Not just from the players, the whole city, the whole town just loves Rugby League and that’s what sticks out the most.
“Whenever I [came] up here as an opposition team or coach an opposition team, it always gave me good memories and a good feeling,” he said.
He says he wants to continue develop new talent from the pathways system.
“A lot of the sort of things I’ve been asked about to fix are already happening.
“I don’t have to come in and try and tip everything upside down. They didn’t have a great year, we all know that, but I think the upside is the playing squad and things that are getting done already,” he said.
