The Newcastle Knights have been thrown into turmoil after abruptly cancelling all scheduled media commitments, fueling speculation that head coach Adam O’Brien is on the brink of being shown the door.
The club’s decision to withdraw players and officials from media appearances came just hours after mounting reports that O’Brien’s tenure could soon come to an end following a disastrous 2025 campaign. The Knights, who entered the season with high expectations, have struggled badly, falling out of finals contention and facing intense scrutiny over both form and leadership.
O’Brien, who took charge of the Knights in 2020, has endured a turbulent spell in recent years. While he guided Newcastle to back-to-back finals appearances early in his tenure, consistency has remained elusive. This season, however, has been described as one of the club’s worst in recent memory, with repeated heavy defeats and a lack of cohesion on the field.
Club insiders suggest frustration has been growing among players, fans, and officials over the team’s lack of direction. The decision to cancel media sessions has only heightened speculation that the board is preparing for a major announcement regarding O’Brien’s future.
Supporters have voiced mixed feelings, with some calling for fresh leadership to restore pride to the club, while others acknowledge O’Brien’s efforts in rebuilding the squad despite significant challenges.
