See what the nib Newcastle Knights players have been getting up to in their down time.

MITCHELL’S ORIGIN MESSAGE
Mitchell Pearce was ruled out of Origin II with injury.
He took to Instagram the day after the NSW team was named.
SIONE’S GESTURE
The official Facebook group for the nib Newcastle Knights saw this post on Saturday night:
A big thankyou from Max to Sione. You made Max's day.. He was stunned to receive your headgear.. He asked if you needed it back for the next game as he was concerned that you wouldn't get to play.. Then told me that it was very sweaty... 😀 Max also wanted to get out on the field to help out as we were behind.
Well done Knights you are truly a family club like no other.
Max is a true loyal supporter and hasn't waived at the possibility of following another team when taunted by rival supporters.. Red and Blue thru and thru......... Go Knights!
