NRL slams Knights Members Club

THE NRL has taken aim at the Newcastle Knights Members Club claiming it is standing in the way of an agreement that will secure the long term financial future of the Knights.

In a statement released on Friday night, the NRL said it had agreed on a handover package with departing owner Nathan Tinkler and his Hunter Sports Group.

But an agreement that would "make the club financially secure" was being held up by the Members Club.

"The deal we have put forward will secure the future of the Newcastle Knights and set them up as one of the financially strongest clubs in the NRL," Crawford said.

"The agreement would ensure the Knights jersey and logo is retained and that the team would continue to play in Newcastle.

"It's a great outcome for the club, the players and the fans — but it is being held up by the Members Club.

"The sooner we can finalise this deal the better it will be for everyone associated with the Newcastle Knights.

"So it is disappointing that the Members Club continues to hold up the process."

Mr Crawford said the NRL would continue to keep discussions open with the parties.

Knights members club chairman Nick Dan said he was in talks with the NRL right up until 7pm on Friday night, not long before the release was put out and suggested it was pre-mediated.

"The position of the Members Club is we are going to continue to push our views for the good of the Knights," he said.
