DSaf rules himself out of World Cup contention for later this year, eligible for Australia, Fiji & Samoa.

"I'm not going to play either way," he said.

"I want to have a good preseason for the Knights.

"It's part of the reason for my slow start this year. I had a really big off-season last year and then an interrupted preseason in terms of getting injured and having COVID.

"I want to have a good off-season [and] a big, full preseason. I owe the club big time, so no matter what I'm staying in Newcastle."

Saifiti: I'll skip the Rugby League World Cup to repay the Knights

The 26-year-old prop is eligible to represent Australia, Fiji and Samoa.

Nice. He knows that either he or Jacob will get a spot in the NSW side so probably a good little rivalry heating up.

And I hope Luai gets his head ripped off the next time he faces the Broncos

I think the difference there is Luai didn’t know he was concussed. On the other hand, Gagai tried to be tough when he had support from others. Not real brave fighting a guy in a head lock..
Anyway Gagai will come back and stink it up at the Knights again..

 

[PhilGould]

Luai had no idea the bloke laying on the ground stiff as a board with his eyes closed was in trouble?

Gagai had no problem smacking Burton around 1 on 1, Tino running over and getting involved is what you should be crying about if anything.

2 days later though, might be time to let it go.

One of the shittest, most club biased takes on LU

Congrats

You support the best team in the comp. Why do you have to be so salty? Coming all the way here to stir up nonsense.

Because Panthers fans ( like their players) are born with the biggest chip on their shoulders and will furiously defend all their players to the death, no matter how big a dickhead they are

Gagai is all class off-field. I've had a fair bit to do with newcastle players over the years working security. And Gagai has always been a humble, "normal" guy who has time for everyone

Burton was the instigator. Cheap shot elbow to Ponga’s back.
Burton even looked back to have words to him.

Yet Ponga didnt react and gave no f**ks about the contact

I love Gags but he over reacted to this tiny incident

PENRITH!!!

- that's in Queensland.

Gotta give Gagai a wrap?? Then the dog unleashes on poor Old Matt Burton being held by another player. Hope the bloke gets destroyed by the Dogs pack when they meet again..

I thought it was a class act the way he protected Selwyn, nobody else seemed to give a shit

What's your take on Jerome Luai standing over a motionless Selwyn Cobbo whilst carrying on like an A Grade flog?

You're having a fkn laugh mate

He was deadset on his back, barely even moved, no person lays there naturally like that after making a tackle, he has literally positioned himself with a foot on either side of his torso and then made direct eye contact before carrying on like he is the one who did anything to contribute to him being left in that position

I know you want to defend it, but you can't

Get off the crack.... Burton is running in a straight line to go past Ponga. Ponga gets up and runs directly across in front of Burton, who was watching the play to his left and only caught Ponga moving out of the corner of his eye. He had bugger all time to react to him unexpectedly changing direction and heading in front of him.

Burton does try to change direction at the last second to minimise the contact and is looking back at Ponga (who has got straight back up and continued running , clearly with no ill effects) when Gagai cheap shots and blindsides Burton with a shoulder and forearm from the back. From that footage, it is clear there is no intent by Burton to go straight at Ponga and the contact was incidental and not damaging as Ponga jumps straight up to get into position to continue in the play..

Gagai took a cheap shot and got away with it because it was Origin and he is now being lauded north of the border as 'hero'...but hey, let's not let facts get in the way of pumping yourselves up with a good myth

Cameron Smith the greatest referee of all time disagrees.
Burton knew exactly what he was doing.
If you want to do a cheap shot expect to get smacked.

Cameron Smith the unbiased queenslander, right?

He ain't Joey though! I watch the podcast every week and Smith used to be the player I hated the most. However, beginning to see why he was such a great player.

As crazy as it sounds, I hope Billy and the gang come to Newy to coach.
