However, Daniel is not the only one re-signing as twin brother Jacob has also penned a new deal.

Bati prop Jacob Saifiti has re-signed for another two years with the Knights.

Daniel Saifiti’s deal especially has the Blues Origin prop well-positioned to play out his career with Newcastle, adding another four years on top of the 2022 season both he and Jacob were already contracted to play.

Meanwhile, last night the Knights were thrashed by Tui Kamikamica’s Melbourne Storm 48-4 in round 18 of the NRL.
