Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tom Shines]

Gagai would be great signing..
2years @ 400k .. 2nd year a club option if his 30+ body fails ..
Qld and Aust rep..
300+ first grade games
Looks fit and always plays tough..
Couldn't think of a better signing not only for our centres/ outside backs but the club as a whole would benefit.
These are the veteran signings we need to teach our young squad what a first grader is all about..
LOCK HIM IN !!!!

35 + body actually ….

David Fifita reportedly at odds with Titans medical staff as tensions escalate​

MSN

I think a potential forward pack like this in 2026 would make us look very dangerous to opposing teams;

13. Samuela Fainu
12. Kai Pearce-Paul
11. David Fifita
10. Fonua Pole
9. Api Korisau
8. Terrell May

14. Talyn Da Silva
15. Alex Seyfarth or Jack Bird or Tony Sukkkar
16. Alex Twal or Royce Hunt
17. Sione Fainu

I think Jo Jo Fifita is worth consideration.

So Fafita won’t return to training after being medically cleared …. And you want to sign him ?

Isn’t that Olam like behaviour?

Are you watching the Knights ? KPP busting his backside to get away from them and get here! That’s how bad they are going …

That’s a coach that deserves to be sacked

Newcastle Knights Dane Gagai may be forced to don new colours next season, as it was revealed that his club was unwilling to take up his $400,000 team option for 2026.

The centre recently played his 300th NRLgame, and while the 34-year-old may have been hoping to wrap up his exemplary career in the Hunter, he would now have to do so on a much cheaper contract. It has been reported by The Newcastle Herald that Gagai had a team option to remain at the Knights in 2026, valued at around $400,000, which is a reasonable sum for most consistent NRL centres.

I’d take him if he’s a good vet for the younger ones

No. I'm not watching. Ink is Barry Ross tonight. Just man.- you think KPP gonna get us in the 8. Really man.. If he is so good - how's his team going?

Nah man … he won’t move the needle much ..but it’s a step in the right direction… they need 3 more at least

He'd have another year in him ..
Makasini's private mentor..
Who would you prefer in the top 30
Feledy or Gagai ?

 

[innsaneink]

Thanks. I interpret that as he confirms were looking not that someone had been signed that he was set to announce.
The quote we will make announcements...about players we've signed or otherwise. The 'or otherwise' part to me suggests there were no confirmed signings, but good to know he is looking.
I'm not as confident that someone of need will become available as he is but I do think he is a very good administrator and happy to give him time to affect change.

Im not suggesting someones been signed either and were keeping it quiet

He did say we'll ''make announcements in 2 or 3 weeks"


I know things can change but that sounded like something definite

Neither ..Feledy won’t be here next year either …

You are just a long suffering fan looking for the drama.

There's nothing wrong with what he said in any shape or form.

Learn to read next time.
I want less drama and aren’t looking for it.

I have zero issues if he left & he deserves a great pay packet to end his career but his comments and timing of them is wrong for our captain.

starford didn’t look like a first grader until he came to us, i think knights are just really that bad.
