Newcastle Knights players are set to be interrogated by club officials over allegations disgraced prop Danny Wicks supplied drugs to teammates.

Knights players will face a grilling from coach Rick Stone, CEO Steve Burraston and chairman Rob Tew over the next 48 hours.

The court has prohibited Wicks from contacting Newcastle forward and former housemate Chris Houston.

Wicks is charged with six counts of supplying a prohibited drug and two of drug possession.

He was released on bail and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Police are also expected to interview several of Wicks' teammates.
