Newcastle postpone Fineanganofo deal to save All Blacks wing's World Cup dream

Newcastle Red Bulls have delayed Fehi Fineanganofo’s move by a year, allowing the All Blacks wing to pursue his World Cup dream. The club announced the signing in January as a standout agreement, after Fineanganofo produced 17 tries in Super Rugby for the Hurricanes and helped win the title. The new timing effectively shifts his transition to the next season, rather than letting him join immediately. Newcastle did not indicate further details in the provided report, but the change underscores how World Cup ambitions can shape player career decisions even when deals are already in place.
