The Newcastle Knights are playing in the 2026 Grand Final this weekend.

And according to the Novocastrian locals on the ground in the Hunter, there could not be more of a fucken vibe in Newy right now.

This comes not even a full year after they lost won the NRL wooden spoon.

The Steel City of Newcastle is almost back to 1997-levels of excitement - as just 80 minutes of football stands between Newcastle and eternal Premiership glory.

This follows two narrow wins in the dying moments over the last two weeks. First against the New Zealand Warriors at Eden Park, and then again a week later against the Penrith Panthers dynasty.

Even better, Newcastle's very own Screaming Jets have been confirmed as the pre-match entertainment at Sydney Olympic Oval this Sunday.

Oh, and it's a long weekend.
