Class act from Knights during fires

The Newcastle Knights have gone above and beyond to help bushfire victims around the NSW mid-north coast. Popular forward Mitch Barnett, whose family owns a farm in Wingham in the heart of the danger, has been the driving force behind the move. Barnett and a host of Knights players went to local supermarkets in Newcastle and filled their cars to the brim with groceries and the like. Fans also got behind the campaign, leaving non- perishables at the Knights offices. Barnett then drove a a semi-trailer full of much-needed goods to the Wingham area over the weekend, distributing provisions to the luckless locals, many of whom had lost everything they had. A good news story that deserves to be told in this time of players behaving badly.
