Newcastle Knights head coach Adam O'Brien is facing mounting pressure as his team struggles with a dismal attacking performance.
Following a disappointing game against the Parramatta Eels, which resulted in a 28-6 loss, the need for a decisive change has become urgent.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, the Knights' current scoring average sits at just 12.8 points per game, marking one of the worst offensive records in NRL history over an extended period.
This lack of offensive output is not merely a one-week issue; it reflects a season-long trend that has left O'Brien seemingly out of solutions.
With only 128 points scored in ten games, the Knights are significantly trailing behind other teams, averaging nearly five points less per game than their closest competitors.
The grim statistics paint a bleak picture for the Hunter-based club and have intensified the scrutiny on O'Brien's coaching approach.
In light of these challenges, the Knights must consider making critical decisions regarding their direction moving forward.
The urgency is palpable as the team grapples with its identity and aims for improvement.
