News Pre Season Returns Nov 8th

[TwinTurbo]

It's pretty simple maths, the average NRL contract is 3 years, there are 30 + 6 players in a squad, which means ~12 players average off contract every year. Look at any club and that's the long term average, sometimes it's less, sometimes it's more.

It's not mathematical, good teams retain good players for longer now.

It's not mathematical, good teams retain good players for longer now.

Some examples, last year's top 8;
Penrith - 5 confirmed losses 2023 + 13 off contract 2024
Broncos - 4 confirmed losses 2023 + 9 off contract 2024
Melbourne - 2 confirmed losses 2023 + 7 off contract 2024 (the best at retention, hardly surprising)
Warriors - 4 of contract losses 2023 + 12 off contract 2024
Knoughts - 7 confirmed losses 2023 + 9 off contract 2024
Sharks - 2 confirmed losses 2023 + 11 off contract 2024 (interestingly they have not signed 1 player for 2024 as yet)
Chooks - 8 confirmed losses 2023 + 13 off contract 2024 (aren't the Chooks supposed to keep everyone)
Canbra - 5 confirmed losses 2023 + 14 off contract 2024

That's an average of 11 off contract in 2024 for the 8 Top 2023 teams

Average contract is not 3 years.
3 years is reserved for established first graders or investments. 4 + years for elite.
The other 20 get 1 or 2 year deals.
Someone quote this so this misinformed fool sees it.
And he completely disregards re-signings during this time. Which happens always. 6/7/8 is more accurate.

Always a crap talking flop who tries to sound smart but passes of his opinion as fact.

He is too knowledgeable to be dismissed. Dismiss the smart and you will be left with idiots opinions

He isn’t though. I see through him. He has dumb idea or trolls low key. I see through him. He also posts misinformation ALOT and I know I’m jot the only one to notice.
He’s too chicken to take me on though. He will dismiss me as a troll and say ‘I blocked him’ watch.

Fkn oath fellas looking good

 

[GoTeamRaRaFunky]

Some great talent in that photo. Imagine taking a couple of these blokes in their prime and placing them in the 2024 Squad.

Hard picking which 2. Probs Sherwin, then Asotasi or Bobcat. Just on what the team needs. Although would be happy with any 2
