Knights players say they won’t hold a grudge against Dane Gagai, following confirmation he’ll join the Rabbitohs next season.
“We’re all happy for him and what’s best for his family so we just want to go hard for the rest of the year.”
“Disappointed that he won’t be here next year with us but it’s footy and it happens.”
But not all his teammates are on his side when it comes to Origin.
“Hate Queensland. I text Bags last night and said him and Queensland can all stuff off so hopefully the Blues can get the job done this year.”
“I go for Queensland, I know everyone will probably hate me for it, it’s the first place I came to when I got to Australia so.”
While Gagai is Bunnies bound, Pete Mata’utia is determined to stay in Newcastle.
“Brownie has told me he wants me so it’s up to the club and management. I’ll just keep doing my part for the team.”
