Brian Smith Podcast Apple Google Spotify Knights Toohey News

Listen to the latest episode of Toohey's News: The Podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Taree boy Adam Woolnough only ever wanted to play for the Knights and finished with more than 100 NRL games for the club before falling foul of coach Brian Smith's controversial player clean-out in 2007. He takes us through what happened and how it affected the main players.

After stints with Penrith and a final season with competition powerhouse Melbourne Storm, Woolnough is now kicking goals on the sporting front off the field, coaching the Storm's Jersey Flegg development squad in Melbourne and working for the Australian Institute of Sport in athlete engagement and welfare.

PLUS all your Knights questions answered from the Twitter mail bag.
