Adam Elliott in the Spotlight Amid Newcastle Knights Roster Changes
Rumors and Reality: Adam Elliott's Future with the Newcastle Knights
Utility forward Brodie Jones is sensing interest from the Dolphins as his contract situation becomes urgent with the Knights having excess middle forwards. Peter O'Sullivan, the Knights recruitment boss, acknowledges the need to rebalance the roster. The team currently has eight middle forwards in their top 30, alongside development deals for younger players like Seb Su'a, set to step up next season.
O'Sullivan also mentions the importance of strengthening depth in outside positions. Notably, off-contract Enari Tuala is likely to fill one of the available roster spots. With potential departures, Daniel Saifiti has been named in transfer rumors, though O'Sullivan remains skeptical about such moves.
The star himself, Adam Elliott, found himself caught off guard by recent media speculation suggesting he could leave the club, stating, “It was the first I'd heard of it”. With one season left in his contract and aspirations to extend it, Elliott's future appears uncertain yet hopeful. This weekend, the Knights face off against the Dolphins in a crucial match, and Elliott's performance will be under scrutiny.
