Jets player Ryan Griffiths says a lot of the players are still in shock and were given advice to find other clubs after they were told of the decision by the Hunter Sports Group to pull the plug on the team.
NBN Sport reporter Mitchell Hughes caught up with Griffiths to find out how the players are coping.

This is nothing but a premeditated betrayal of Newcastle football fans. Tinkler has done nothing but use the football community of Newcastle to get what he really wanted, the NHL team, then spat us out on the footpath like waste. Shame on you Tinkler, you never cared for the community. Football fans of Australia should roundly condem this man & HSG, for the disrespect & damage done to the community & game.
Well done Tinkler we have no room for them anyway they get no crowd there and its a girls game anyway lets just focus on the real game go you mighty knights bye bye jets lol
Is that Wayne the Wanker. You are a twit who obviously only wants to watch thugs getting their brains scrambled in a melee they call a game. What a joke you are. The people of Newcastle who love the game of FOOTBALL are devastated and all you can do is spit on them.
Wayne whilst we may have lost the jets A League and just as importantly the W League teams, for now its brain dead comments from people like you that are forcing Mum’s and Dad’s Australia wide away from rugby league. Your mind set that soccer is a girls game typifies the “i’m tough cause i play league” attitude that are turning people away from league. Does it really matter what sport the kids play as long as they are active. By the way, soccer at the junior level has more kids playing in NSW than league,union and AFL combined Australia wide. Official stats Wayne. And yes I’ve played both rugby league and soccer.
Now, now wayne…. there is no need to be a complete retard – you probably laugh at people that get run over by trucks.
I support both the jets and the knights and am completely devastated by todays news. Tinkler is the king of the dummy spit and this is premeditated by Tinkler just the same as he did when Rob Tew and old knights board wanted him to come back with a better offer – he picked up his ball and went home until they forced his hand.
I honestly can;t believe the spin and lies coming out of HSG
It’s probably payback cos we didn;t let him have his new coal loader
