Sandon Smith, a sought-after NRL player, is being pursued by Newcastle and North Queensland Cowboys.
Sandon Smith has found himself as one of the hottest names on the transfer market in 2025, with the Sydney Roosters half being chased by multiple NRL clubs.
While it was reported that the Canberra Raiders withdrew interest from the utility's services earlier this week, the North Queensland Cowboys and the Newcastle Knights are still battling it out for his signature.
According to the Newcastle Herald, Knights officials took Smith out for dinner over a week ago, discussing a potential move to the Hunter Valley.
The club has also increased their initial offer to the young star, offering him a four-year deal that is sure to sweeten the pot as Smith looks to secure his future.
