- The Newcastle Knights are expected to part ways with coach Adam O'Brien following their 46-12 loss to Brisbane on Sunday in Newcastle.
- O'Brien's future has been uncertain due to the club's poor 2025 performance and discussions at a board meeting on Tuesday night.
- O'Brien has coached for six years since 2020, leading the Knights to four finals appearances, but injuries and roster depth hurt this season.
- A mutual exit deal is expected, including a payout ranging from $300,000 to $500,000, with final approval scheduled for the upcoming full board meeting on Thursday.
- Blake Green, the assistant coach and Moses client, is the leading candidate to replace O'Brien amid ongoing internal and external pressures.
