NRL: Newcastle Knights coach Adam O'Brien speaks to the media after their round 20 loss to the Broncos.
While the rugby league world’s attention is on the rebuild at the Parramatta Eels, veteran journalist Phil Rothfield has revealed the Newcastle Knights have major roster issues of their own to manage.
The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo. New to Kayo?In particular, Rothfield mentioned the potential departures of Daniel and Jacob Saifiti, two of the club’s highest earning players who rake in around $800,000 a season but have failed to perform to the level their pay packet demands this season.
While Adam O’Brien’s side remain a mathematical chance of qualifying for the finals should they win all of their remaining games this season, Rothfield believes 2024 is over for the Knights.This means Newcastle are now operating with one eye on the next season, and highlights the importance of O’Sullivan’s job.
According to The Daily Telegraph’s Brent Read, Brailey and Hetherington are two other Knights who could possibly be looking for a new club next season.
