Hope all is well and recuperation going nicely.
Thank you for this information. If we have 24 already contracted that means they will be the ones we go with next year and it also means that we only need another 6 to keep the NRL happy in relation to a 30 man squad. Of course in addition to this we can have 3-6 development players independent of this cap figure and they only need a salary of 60k. They can be called upon if we suffer enough injuries to prevent us fielding a full side plus the four reserves.
I probably jumped the gun a bit with the thought of needing 14, but of course they are the guys off contract with the absolute possibility that they may not have been a consideration of being re-signed. Of the fourteen will be interesting to see who they keep. As you say your list does not even include Cogger and Smith.
Our club website makes it confusing as we have players like Fine Lichaa etc. included in both sets of profiles.
Players not listed in Telstra squad are Garlick,Miller,Nelson,Luani,
Burr, Anderson, Bergamin,
Carr,Manu,Okunbor ( in bold are the guys off contract).
These are the guys off contract: total of 13 with the Morris boys, Eastwood touted as certainties to leave.
