Newcastle Knights does not say that any room for the salary cap for Dylan Brown in 2024 since Eels Great suggests early exit
“This is a declaration of fact. We simply don’t have the space.”
As such, he said that it was not necessary to discuss the problem with parramatus officials, adding that the knights have confidence in the roster of this season.

Gardner did not want to speculate on the players that the knights could move on to free funds, saying: “All our players are contracted to the club”.
Perhaps this is the case, but the contracts contracts do not always see their mandate with the knights, since Daniel Saifiti and David Klemmer could testify.
The Jackson Hastings Halfback veteran Halfback could emerge as a bargaining chip.
The 29 -year -old is out of contract at the end of this season, knowing that the knights do not intend to sign again.
“The club does not have the space of the wage cap to facilitate a transfer to Dylan Brown this year.”

According to reports, on an agreement near $ 800,000 per season, Hastings has not played in the NRL since 20 July last year. He made his first 2025 appearance in the NSW Cup last week after training as an utility player during pre-stage.
While Hastings appears blocked behind Jack Cogger, Fletcher Sharpe and Tyson Gamble in the cobblestone, the coach of the knights Adam O’Brien said at the beginning of this month: “He can play nine, he can play 13.
“We are just giving him repetitions everywhere. He gives him the best chance to play on the team nrl.”
A former steel man in England, Hastings should attract the interest of the Super League clubs and the knights do not hinder themselves if he had requested a release.
The same goes for the English import Pryce, who collaborated Hastings in the middle of the NSW Cup last weekend.
According to reports, Pryce is gaining $ 400,000 a year and has played only five games from when he arrived in Newcastle at the beginning of last season.
In the meantime, Brown should begin to realize that his unprecedented contract of 14 million dollars arrives with attached strings, that is to say the negative feedback.
Called by the fans themselves who have idolized it for seven years, he was also severely criticized for his not very brilliant form in the start of the 0-3 season of Parramatta.

“I feel like seeing him that he is afraid of failing and fear of making a mistake … Dylan Brown has gone to his shell, and he is getting cagged to make an error,” said the former Canterbury and St George Illawarra James Graham The Ciao Round podcast.
The control that Brown attracted the memories of evocation of the treatment that the young Halfback Ash Taylor copied when he signed a three -year agreement for a value of $ 1 million per season with Gold Coast in 2017.
Taylor fought to live up to expectations and his career nrl had ended at the age of 27.
The former Titani coach Garth Brennan said that Taylor “fought with the pressure and expectations” that came with being one of the best earnings of the NRL.

“When you receive that type of price, you have to stay in the park and you have to deliver,” said Brennan. “When Dylan arrives in Newcastle, this will be the expectation for him. The weight of the world will be on his shoulders.”
While Brennan said he had no say in Taylor’s remuneration, he paid the final price when the vehicle contrast was not able to justify the massive investment of the club.
“If your player from one million dollars do not deliver, then the coach is what is fired, simple,” said Brennan.
“If you are not winning games, he falls on the coach. He must not fall on the boy who earns $ 13-14 million. They cannot get rid of him. He is gaining too much to pay.”
