Newcastle Knights may pursue off-contract Josh Papali'i if Tyson Frizell and Dane Gagai leave.

The Canberra Times

Newcastle Knights officials have internally discussed targeting off-contract Canberra Raiders prop Josh Papali'i as a fall-back option if veteran forward Tyson Frizell walks away from a contract extension with the club.

Papali'i, Canberra's most capped player, will quit the Raiders at the end of the season but is yet to decide on his playing future.

At the same time, Frizell and veteran centre Dane Gagai are also off contract and currently weighing up their options and canvassing potential interest from rival clubs. Both have offers on the table from the Knights but are yet to commit.
