Knights confirm departures of six players
Four of the six remain unsigned for next season.

The Newcastle Knights have confirmed the departures of six players during their club awards night on Tuesday evening after being eliminated from the 2024 NRL Finals last weekend by the North Queensland Cowboys.

While it was already confirmed that David Armstrong (Leigh Leopards) and Myles Martin (Canberra Raiders) would be departing the team at the end of the season, the Knights have now revealed that four others will be joining them.

The list of players farewelled includes Daniel Saifiti, Enari Tuala, Krystian Mapapalangi and Tom Jenkins.

While all four have yet to sign elsewhere, Saifiti has been linked with a move to The Dolphins, which would see him play under new NRL head coach Kristian Woolf, whilst Tuala has been linked with a move to Belmore under Cameron Ciraldo.

The decision to say goodbye to the players coincides with the arrivals of James Schiller (Canberra Raiders) and Matt Arthur (Parramatta Eels) next season.

It also means the duo of Mat Croker and Brodie Jones have not yet been farewelled despite being uncontracted beyond this season, as the club has eight vacant spots left on its roster for the 2025 NRL season.
