As a proud major sponsor of the Newcastle Knights Old Boys for more than five years, everyone at Cougar Group would like to wish the Newcastle Knights the very best of luck in tomorrow's Grand Final.

We're especially proud to have our CEO, Chad Dillinger, as part of the Knights Old Boys community. The values of teamwork, commitment, resilience and mateship that the Knights represent are values we see every day across our own business.

Our thoughts are also with everyone involved in today's incident, along with their families, friends, teammates and the broader Knights community. We wish all those affected strength and support during this difficult time.

Good luck to the players, coaches, staff and supporters as they take to the field. The entire region is behind you.

Bring it home, Knights! 🔴🔵

With heavy hearts, we share the heartbreaking news that one of our valued Drillers has passed away suddenly. He was a much-liked member of the Cougar team and will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of working alongside him. During this incredibly difficult time, his family has established a GoFundMe page for anyone who wishes to offer their support and help ease the burden they are facing.

We're Turning Blue for MND

Motor Neurone Disease affects thousands of Australians and their families and we wanted to do something meaningful to help.

That's why we've painted our CDR026 drill rig and our 100th in house built Minecruiser blue and are today officially launching our MND Blue Fundraiser.

From September 2026 to February 2027, Cougar Group will donate:

• $1 for every metre drilled by CDR026
• $150 from every week of the100th in house built Minecruiser hire

with all funds going directly towards the fight against MND.

Our goal is to raise $50,000, but we can't do it alone. Whether you donate, share this post or simply help spread the word, you'll be helping us raise awareness and vital funds for a cause that affects so many families.

100 MINECRUISERS BUILT! 💥

What an incredible milestone for our team! Last week, we celebrated the completion and delivery to market of our 100th in-house-built minecruiser, marking 100 of the 625 units we’ve delivered to date.

Reaching this achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, skill and commitment of every person who has played a part in the journey. From design and engineering through to fabrication, assembly and delivery, this milestone belongs to all of you.

To mark the occasion, our 100th Minecruiser is sporting a brand-new colour for a very special initiative that is close to our hearts. It's all for a great cause and we can't wait to share more details next week.

A huge thank you and congratulations to everyone involved in helping us reach this milestone. 👏
