Dolphins target Bradman Best as Knights contract discussions continue

The Dolphins are monitoring Bradman Best's contract situation with the Newcastle Knights, now that he is a free agent. Best, who has represented the NSW Blues and Kangaroos, is exploring options after hitting the open market on November 1. The Parramatta Eels are seen as frontrunners if he chooses to leave Newcastle. However, the Dolphins, with potential roster changes in their center positions, are also preparing to make an offer. Best confirmed he has paused contract discussions during the World Cup, stating his preference to negotiate with Newcastle first before considering other teams.
