Rugby League star Daniel Saifiti's future is making waves in the headlines as the St George Illawarra Dragons emerge as the top contenders in the race to sign the Newcastle Knights prop.
Saifiti, locked in with the Knights for another two seasons, has been given the green light to test the waters by his current club.
The Knights, facing financial constraints, have approached Saifiti with the possibility of parting ways at the end of the 2024 season.
In a recent interview with The Newcastle Herald, Saifiti expressed his loyalty to the Knights but also hinted at a willingness to consider other options in the competitive market.
With a hefty $800,000 annual contract on the line, the Knights may need to chip in to facilitate his departure.
Despite his hefty price tag, Saifiti's recent lackluster performance on the field has fueled speculation about his future with the struggling Adam O'Brien-coached team, where he is falling short of the 100-meter mark per game.
As the countdown to his potential exit looms closer, all eyes are on the seasoned prop as he weighs his options and contemplates a potential move to the Dragons.
Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping Rugby League saga that is sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
