Bradman Best plans to discuss contract extension with Knights after World Cup

Bradman Best has stated he intends to give the Newcastle Knights the first opportunity to present a contract extension offer following the World Cup. Despite his current deal expiring at the end of 2027, Best has paused negotiations to focus on the tournament, expressing loyalty to the team and its coach. He recently emerged as a standout player in his position, contributing to the Knights' near premiership success. Best's decision could be influenced by family considerations, especially with his brother Baxter joining the Knights for the 2027 season. He looks forward to meeting with the Knights after the World Cup to discuss his future in more detail.
