This is from the Newcastle Herald on the 06.05.2006
The Top 10 Newsmakers
1. Andrew Johns (Rugby League)
2. Brant Webb (Trapped Miner)
3. Todd Russell (Trapped Miner)
4. John Howard (Prime Minister)
eq 5. Danny Buderus (Rugby League)
eq 5. Jake Kovco (Deceased serviceman)
6. Johnathon Thurston (Rugby League)
7. Michael Hagan (Rugby League)
8. Peter Costello (Treasurer)
9. Steve Simpson (Rugby League)
eq 10. Kurt Gidley (Rugby League)
eq 10. Karmichael Hunt (Rugby League)
I think that is a fair indication of the position rugby league holds in Newcastle. A player is mentioned more then the Prime Minister, the treasurer, the two trapped miners and Jake Kovco.
There is also a major discussion on whether or not there are more important things then the Knights in Newcastle.
