Newcastle coach Adam O'Brien is close to signing a new contract with the Knights and end speculation of a return to the Storm.

The second-year coach has no plans to leave the Knights, according to David Riccio from The Daily Telegraph, despite reports linking him to Melbourne as Craig Bellamy's successor.

O'Brien spent 12 years as Bellamy's assistant, before moving to the Roosters to work under Trent Robinson for a year and then take the head coach role at the Knights.

O'Brien guided the Knights to an elimination final defeat to South Sydney in his first season.

The Knights finished the season seventh with 11 wins, a draw and eight defeats.

  1. Adam O’Brien…
    I thought he may like to sign on to coach at Canberra. He’d fit right in. Drunk at the races & gets an accidental push from another punter. Then wants to beat the guy up. When security comes , argues with them. ‘Don’t you know who I am’?
    Yep, an opportunity missed there Raiders.

  2. EastOfDivide – Maybe don’t only listen to one side of the story (the security guards) before you make up your mind and opinion.
    There have been multiple stories after the fact from members of the public that were there, other Knights board members that were there and even O’Brien himself that show a completely different side of the story.
