  This is absolute crap speculation. It's not Nov 1 yet and there's no way there's anything happening behind the scenes while Newcastle are still in the hunt for a GF. Typical journo throwing darts

    Normally I would agree and suggest a pipe dream as well but there is family influences. AI check for status

     

     

    The Partner and Family Connection

    The "wife's potential influence" stems from his fiancé, Kayla Fenech, who is the daughter of Australian boxing legend Jeff Fenech. The core parts of the speculation include: 

    • The Pull to Sydney: Kayla originally hails from Sydney, and much of Best's extended family lives there. Rumours suggest that people close to Best would prefer a move back to Sydney, especially since the couple recently welcomed their first daughter, Kaliyah Rose, and got engaged in March 2026. [
    • The Eels Connection: Kayla's father, Jeff Fenech, actually has direct ties to the blue-and-gold, having played lower-grade rugby league for Parramatta back in the day. 
    • The contra to this is Best's brother recently signed with the Knights.

  All quiet on the Burton front? That rumor certainly went nowhere!
