Source: www.newcastleknights.com.auThis Saturday night is our last home game of the year, Old Boys Day and time to celebrate the career of Steve Simpson.
The Newcastle Knights are set for a big game against the competition leaders, the St George Illawarra Dragons, who are coming of the back of a loss to the Canberra Raiders.
After five home wins in a row, EnergyAustralia Stadium is once again becoming a venue that away teams fear.
Knights Assistant Coach Andrew Dunemann spoke with Knights TV about
"They are the team that everyone wants to beat, and defensively they are very good.
"Hopefully with the Old Boys game this week we can really go out there and put on a good show."
Akuila Uate and Cooper Vuna have formed a formidable pair of wingers.
"They have 35 tries between them now which in a team that's not in the top eight is a massive effort."
After Vuna's four try effort against the Broncos on Friday night, Uate is sure to continue his push to maintain the title of leading try scorer in the 2010 season.

Source: www.newcastleknights.com.auOne of the Newcastle Knights favourite sons Steve Simpson has today drawn the curtain on his long and distinguished career by announcing his retirement after 12 seasons with the Knights.
The boy from Broke joined the Knights via the Hunter Academy of Sport rugby league program back in 1996, going on to make 216 first grade appearances after debuting against Parramatta in April 1999.
Simpson played his junior football with the Singleton Greyhounds before beginning his NRL career with his one and only club, the Newcastle Knights. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest local players to emerge from the Hunter region and leaves behind a legacy which only 'Simmo' could do.
The tough, uncompromising and hardworking back rower also went on to play Country Origin (2), NSW Origin (13), Australian Tests (7) and the Kangaroo Tour of 2003.
Simpson will be long remembered by rugby league fans as a no-nonsense competitor who has given 100 per cent both on and off the field.
"I'm proud to say I played for the Newcastle Knights, I've had a great time and I wouldn't change a thing," Simpson said.
"There have been so many good times, I have met so many good people and now I look forward to supporting the boys and enjoying the next part of my life, especially our last home game against the Dragons with the Old Boys.
"I really want to thank my Mum and Dad who clocked up the kilometres during my teenage years as I juggled being an apprentice mechanic in Singleton and my football commitments in Newcastle.
"I want to thank my wife Jacqui, my family, the club and all of the Newcastle fans who have supported me over the years, I really appreciate it."
An ongoing knee injury has forced Simpson from the field since round 11 this year, and will regrettably rob his loyal fans of the opportunity to farewell one of nature's true gentlemen the way he would have liked, playing in front of a packed crowd at EnergyAustralia Stadium.
The Newcastle Knights would like to encourage all Steve Simpson fans to help us celebrate a wonderful career and pay tribute to Simmo at Old Boys Day, on Saturday 28 August when the Knights play the Dragons at EnergyAustralia Stadium.
