No, 90% certain he is not staying with Newcastle. The knights are trying to sign Orford, gives an indication of what's going on.

apparently if knights lose johns they may also lose kurt gidley, rumour has it there was a clause in the contract he just signed saying that he could leave if johns didnt re sign...

I know what Gidley's reasoning for that is - to learn from 'the best'. But it would be a pretty silly move considering he would be assured of a starting spot. Don't know what other club he could get that at.

I think you can count Brisbane & Nth Queenslaand out, doubt he will move from N.S.W. Although it would be a good buy for Nth Queensland. If the Roosters can fit him under their cap, they should definitely be looked at! Parra just bought Riddel, so if they have room for him with Morris and Dykes (unless he goes back to Cronulla) I"ll be surprised. Canberra have signed Smith, so it looks like they will keep McLinden at half. And Manly have said they are chasing an outside back.

So there...

Raiders were interested in talking to him last time, they will have another crack if they get the chance, davico may be leaving now, if they cant resign monaghan and wiki theres plenty of cash to spend, smith can play lock with wiki leaving.

OK here is the absolute latest DIRECT from Joey!!!!!

He has NOT made a decision, and has said he feels sick about it.. He has also said he has changed his mind about 10 times in the last 2 hours...

NO decision will be announced on the Footy Show tonight and he will be announcing it within the next couple of days...

Like i said this is Straight from Joey!!!!

Also to clear Rumours, Gidley did have a clause in his contract which allowed him to get out if Joey wasn't at Newcastle, however he has now said he will remain...

Joey if he stays with league is almost certain to be at the knights...

I don't care as long as he stays with league (it would be good if he went to the Roosters though)

Johns is a tosser. He is just milking this for as long as he can. Because he's on the sidelines and not getting any attention, he has to resort to this. Bravo Mr. Johns... :@

i doubt anyone would want to sign with souths even if they knew who the coach was!

I think your being a bit harsh Kyle...

I mean this is a pretty big decision, if he goes to Union he must move away from Newcastle as he would never be able to live there without copping a heap of abuse, but if he stays with league he then gives up the chance to be recognised on the WORLD stage and to show once and for all he is better then Jonny "I kicked a Goal" Wilkinson...

I'd like to see him go to the Roosters & for them to stay under the salary cap. Is there a player the Roosters don't want?
 

Mister Wright

Yes, but does he have to drag it through the media. Can't he just make a decision without everyone knowing about his decisions. Fair enough the media scouts see him meeting with these Warratah guys, but he could have just said "I have been having discussions with Rugby Yawnion and I will make a decision on my playing future in a few weeks." Rather than saying, "I'm going, no I'm stayin, no I'm going, no I'm staying, no...:"
