2010 Player of the Year

Last night's Newcastle Knights 2010 Player of the Year Dinner acknowledged team and individual achievements for the 2010 Season.

The prestigious evening revealed the 2010 recipient of the esteemed Player of the Year Award, complemented by the farewell of Steve "Big Horse" Simpson.

Over 400 arrived in style, dressed to the theme of A Day at the Races to enjoy the fine hospitality and entertainment at Wests New Lambton.

Hosted by NBN's Natasha Beyersdorf and Jim Callinan, with performances by local band Solver, the evening was a great success.
