Ricky Stuart believes Newcastle should re-sign Dane Gagai after his impressive performance against Canberra.

Canberra coach Ricky Stuart says Newcastle shouldn't think twice about re-signing Dane Gagai after the speedster shone in the Knights' heavy loss to the Raiders.

The 34-year-old was shifted to fullback to replace star Kayln Ponga, and terrorised the Raiders' right edge, inspiring tries and leading their swift ball movement at a wet GIO Stadium on Sunday.
