nib Newcastle Knights utility hooker Phoenix Crossland makes his debut on the KNIGHTS // HQ Podcast.

After a devastating ACL injury to hooker and Club captain Jayden Brailey during the season, the 22-year-old has stepped in to fill 'Brails' big shoes, in one of the hardest positions on the field.

On this episode, Crossland spoke about taking the most of his opportunities this season and reflected on some special times at the Knights so far. 

We kicked off the podcast with 'Phoen's' very own player quiz testing his knowledge on his career.

Young Phoenix moved over to Australia at the age of four after being born in Wellington, New Zealand.

The dummy half spoke about his Kiwi lineage and progressing through the Knights pathways systems.

The boys also chat about some of their favourite games in Knights colours ahead of a huge clash against the Roosters this Saturday.

We finish the episode with our 'Tunes of the Week' talking all things music and hit Phoenix with some quickfire get to know questions.

73. Guess who, NRLW catch-up and Beanies round

On a new episode of the KNIGHTS // HQ Podcast, the official podcast of the nib Newcastle Knights, we're joined by a new co-host to join Jae on the mic.

We're joined by content creator, Lavender Baj, on the Podcast.

A proud Novocastrian and an avid Knights supporter, you can follow Lav on her socials @lavenderbaj.

We kick off the episode with our brand new signing as we headed out to McDonald Jones Stadium last Friday night to catch up with some of our loyal Knights supporters, on our own Knights Fan TV.

Plenty have come from near and far - and some as far as Germany, as we asked them for their crowd predictions and which Knight from history do they think they look like.

The two hosts played two truths and a lie to get to know each other, including Lav's Instagram connection to a A-list celebrity.

We talk all things happening at the Knights with the men's side preparing for a trip to Melbourne this Sunday, plus preview the upcoming Women's Origin clash to be held in Newcastle with some of or very own NRLW superstars in action.

72: New co-host, Knights fan TV and Women's Origin preview

We're joined by nib Newcastle Knights Director of Football, Peter Parr, on the KNIGHTS // HQ Podcast to provide an update on the Club as a whole.

During the first bye round of the season, we took the time to catch up with 'Parrie' to chat about how the NRL squad is tracking along in 2024, plus the decisions behind some of the Club's recent re-signings.

Peter talked about his approach to re-signing key figures at the Knights including Head Coach Adam O'Brien, Bradman Best, Dane Gagai and Jacob Saifiti.

Our Director also spoke about introducing the new Club values earlier in the year - Tradition, Grit, Inspire and Win and the thought process behind the inauguration of the values system.

We also discussed the Knights pathways system and the infrastructure put in place for the emerging crop of talent in Newcastle, plus the NRLW squad coming together ahead of their scheduled pre-season start date.

We round out the epsiode, testing 'Parrie' on his own career with his career quiz from his time at the Cowboys, NSW Blues to now at the Knights.
