Gagai: ‘To get a win before the bye would be massive’…
Veteran centre Dane Gagai has emphasised the importance of the Knights securing a win ahead of their upcoming bye, describing it as “massive” for team morale and momentum. Newcastle are coming off a mixed run of form and are desperate to build consistency as the finals race intensifies. Gagai, a key figure in the Knights’ backline, believes a victory would serve as the perfect springboard for the run home.
“To get a win before the bye would be massive,” Gagai said. “It gives us a chance to reset and freshen up, but you want to go into that break with confidence and something to build on.”
The Knights face a tough challenge this weekend, but Gagai is confident in the squad’s preparation and believes recent training sessions have shown positive signs. “The energy’s been great, and we know what’s at stake. We’re ready to rise to the occasion.”
With Newcastle battling for a spot in the top eight, every point is crucial. A win not only boosts their ladder position but also lifts spirits within the camp. Gagai’s message is clear: finish strong before the bye, and come back firing for the final stretch.
