Grand Final Week

PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS:
Go on then, you wouldn’t.

Sydney blown in turned Newcastle property baron and influencer Jack ‘Hendo’ Henderson ( @Jackchenderson ) has not only been quiet about the Knights upcoming big day, but has failed to pick up the roller brush.

Locals have asked what the point of having what is said to be a $20 million property portfolio is, aside from adding to the housing and cost of living crisis, if not to help paint the town blue and red.

While locals understand that it’s all easier said than done, they reckon the former tradie could at least feign a bit of community spirit - especially as a blow in.

Community leaders we spoke to even questioned whether, given his origins, the red capped bloke might even back the Panthers.

Your move, Hendo. #defendthekingdom #newcastle #newy #newcastleknights
