The Newcastle centre has opted to turn down a two-year offer from the Roosters to stick with the Knights for 2025.
The challenge of uprooting his young family from Newcastle to Sydney was a sticking point for Gagai, while the Knights were also able to keep the door ajar by including an option for a second year in 2026.

Gagai contacted Roosters coach Trent Robinson on Wednesday morning to inform him of the decision.

The Roosters will continue their hunt for additional coverage in their backline for when Joseph Suaalii, Joey Manu, Daniel Tupou and Michael Jennings finish up at the end of 2025.

Storm centre Reimis Smith is one option the Roosters will look at in coming days.

I suspect considering the Roosters offer was more his manager seeing if he could get more money from us. He would have known from the get go he didn’t want to uproot his family, he didn’t just decide overnight.

The club handled the whole thing pretty well which is surprising.

Love the way FOX frame the story - not that he loves Newcastle, loves the club, the playing group and wanted to stay. Just reluctant to move the family as the only reason he rejected the Rorters storage room of brown paper bags.

"Gagai was reluctant to uproot his family who are settled in Newcastle to return to Sydney in 2025."
The were talking about it on 360. It pained Braith to talk about one of the 14 or so clubs they never talk about so he immediately brought it back to the Roosters after 0.4 seconds.

And Fifita is going to Penrith or staying at Titans according to the most recent reports. It seems the Roosters are being told no for once.

Had a look over at their forum to see their reaction about potentially signing him (I always find it interesting to see if neutrals also rate players we rate or we’re just biased) - bunch of them saying Gags isn’t good enough for the privilege of wearing a Roosters jersey. Dont they have Michael Jennings running around for them lmao?

Doesn’t have a good enough criminal record?
