‘Don’t Know Rugby League’: Adam O’Brien Blasts Booing Knights Fans After Epic Golden Point Comeback

  • On Thursday night at McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle Knights overcame a 16-0 halftime deficit to defeat Manly 26-22 in golden point.
  • The comeback came after the Knights endured their eighth half of the season without scoring and suffered three defeats in four games, increasing the pressure on coach Adam O’Brien.
  • Despite the triumph, O’Brien criticized the crowd’s halftime booing, stating "the people that booed don't know anything about rugby league," which drew criticism from former player Matty Johns and commentator Andrew Voss.
  • Kalyn Ponga secured the winning try in golden point as the Knights, having scored four second-half tries, achieved their most remarkable comeback in nearly two decades.
  • O’Brien later apologized to fans for his comments, acknowledging their loyalty and emphasizing the team’s youth, while the victory provided some relief amid ongoing scrutiny of his coaching tenure.
