In the ongoing rebuilding phase of the Newcastle Knights, two seasoned players may be making an early exit before their contracts run out.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, the Knights are facing a tough season, missing out on the finals after a strong winning streak last year.
They'll need to win their last two games and hope for favorable results elsewhere to have a chance.
Looking ahead to 2025, the Knights are in a tight spot with salary cap constraints, forcing them to offload players to meet the financial limits.
Peter O'Sullivan, now in charge of recruitment, has already begun shaking up the roster with significant changes.
Veteran leaders like Daniel Saifiti and Jayden Brailey have been given the green light to pursue opportunities elsewhere, with Brailey rumored to be joining the Dolphins.
Additionally, players like Jack Hetherington and international prop Leo Thompson are also reportedly on the chopping block.
As the Knights navigate these challenging times, they'll need to lean on their resilience and strategic moves to bounce back stronger in the future.
