See what the nib Newcastle Knights players have been doing in their down time.

We've been keeping across the social media accounts of our troops and this is what they've been up to.

TAMWORTH TRIP AND FARM VISIT

The boys rounded out 2019 with a week-long training camp in Tamworth, which included a perspective-gaining visit to drought-stricken farms.

Appreciate the little things! As footy players we know when we will get a break, know when the season will end, know when the game will finish. Farmers going through the drought don’t know when it’s going to get better. Always good to give back to those in need!! Thankyou Tamworth for letting us do that!

Unreal way to cap off a tough pre season, helping out some farmers during a tough time. Loving every minute with this group, can’t wait for what’s in store for us all in 2020 🔴🔵

Finished a tough week of physical and mental training in Tamworth, was such a experience I’ll never forget. Definitely gave a new perspective on life and gratefulness. I pray for this drought to finish soon and rain to come for all our Aussie farmers ❤️❤️❤️

CELEBRITY APPEARANCE

With players released on a two week break following the camp, some took the opportunity to travel. Little did they know they were set to cross paths with US media personality LaVar Ball.
