NRL: The Dolphins have cemented their spot in the top eight after a huge win over the Cowboys.
It’s fair to say the Knights are at a crossroads, with a new coach on the horizon and star man Kalyn Ponga’s future being solved — for now.
Meanwhile, Adam O’Brien’s time in the Hunter will reportedly come to an end at the season’s end, with club powerbrokers planning to buy out the final two years of his contract. “From my point of view, if Kalyn requests a release from the last two years of his contract, I say goodbye, good luck and thank you for your service to the Knights.
“Recruitment is already a problem for the Knights. There’s no better evidence than having to give Dylan Brown a $13 million, 10-year contract to convince him the red-and-blue jersey is a good fit,” he wrote.Without Ponga, $13 million may not have been enough.” As it stands, Ponga will be a Knights player until the end of the 2027 season, giving him two years to play alongside Brown.
