Newcastle have rejected a bid by Super League club Warrington to allow star forward Lachlan Fitzgibbon to join them immediately.The Wolves want Fitzgibbon, who signed a three year deal with the club to start in 2024, to make the switch now to help them with their Super League title hopes.With both clubs in precarious positions on their respective ladders, the Knights declined the approach in the belief that they can still make the finals with a strong run in the latter stages of the season.The Knights are in 14th spot on the ladder, but a big win over the Bulldogs followed by the bye last weekend has them just three points away from eighth position.In England, Warrington are in fifth spot on the ladder, but only four points behind leaders Catalans Dragons, who suffered a shock loss to Huddersfield, who are third from the bottom.Fitzgibbon, 29, had offers from both rival NRL clubs and England but opted to take the long-term deal at Warrington in a move that will possibly see out his career.
