he confirmed 2 more players but also said no to Benji because the roster is full....wtf?!
Yeah the roster is full with those 2 players.
the NRL guidelines state that you are allowed 30 players in the NRL squad.
currently we have 29 players. If Katoa retires due to his medical diagnosis, that will reduce the total player amount to 28 (remembering we are allowed 30, and 28 is 2 less than 30).
now, Gus has said we have signed 2 players (1 player + 1 player). Currently we have 29 playera, so if you add 2 to 29, the result will be 31, which is 1 more than 30. Which doesn’t make sense right as we are only allowed 30 players? So, with that being said, we can make an assumption that Katoa may be retiring due to his recent medical diagnosis. With this retirement, he will forfeit his top 30 position. This reduction in the top 30 by 1 allows these 2 signings that Gould is talking about to enter and complete the top 30.
as we now have a complete list (30 players), we are unable to add benji into the list as that would create a list total of 31 which exceeds the NRL rules.
if you would like further clarification please let me know
