The circus continues... 👀 9WWOS NRL
"The outcomes this season have been unacceptable. At the start of the year, we set a goal to win most of our games at McDonald Jones Stadium and become a top defensive side.Newcastle can still make the NRL finals if they win their last two games against the Gold Coast and Penrith, with other results going their way.
Gardner also denied claims Kalyn Ponga had requested a contract extension worth $1.5 million a year, and defended captain Mitchell Pearce afterthere was a 'toxic' split in the dressing room and that senior players, including Pearce and David Klemmer, had turned against Brown in his final days at the club.
Brown left the club effective immediately on Tuesday, after he was believed to have issued an ultimatum to players following Saturday's 46-4 flogging by Wests Tigers.It came after he initially planned to step away at the end of the season. "I must stress, Mitchell is not responsible for what is happening at the club and is hurting as much as anyone," Gardner said."He has been honest in his assessment of his own performances in recent weeks. There is little more you can ask from him as a leader."
