For literally months now we have heard speculation in the Hunter that Daniel Saifiti may be secretly being shopped to other clubs.
With the club's sensational late-season run, the talk seemed to go away. Perhaps a "isn't broken, don't fix it" mentality?
Now that the season has ended though, the rumours have seemingly been turned up to eleven, with the Origin prop again linked with a move.
With Newcastle potentially looking to move him on, below are five alternate, and likely destinations for the monster prop:
5. Melbourne Storm
Despite another top four finish, the Storm had a very disappointing Finals campaign.
They were battered by the Broncos, scraped past the depleted Roosters and then were played off the park by the Panthers.
Up front, they were comprehensively handled.
For the undoubted intimidation Nelson Asofa-Solomona brings, he is hardly predictable. He can turn up and be the best player on the mark or a liability.
The Storm's forward stocks were gutted by the Dolphins. They need to replenish.

Adding Saifiti to a NAS, Welch and Tui Kamikamica engine room would be a huge positive. His experience, size and calm head would all be big pluses.
Craig Bellamy has made a career out of dragging the very best out of his new recruits.
Can you imagine what he could do with a rep quality prop such as Daniel Saifiti!?
If the Sharks have no money – having squandered it all on upgrading their existing squad, then the coach and the Recruitment & Retention guys need to be shown the door.
