Great work @garry looks like you can add your first player to the 2026 list!
@out_psych will add him tonight or tomorrow.

Looks as if we'll have 3 Fainus on the 2024 list if this is confirmed shortly as expected.
That would leave us with:
- 24 players with 'official' contracts
- Question marks over which of these players are Top 30 / Development Deals for 2024? Chris Faagutu, Jordan Miller, Kit Laulili’i, Lachlan Galvin
I prepared to make assumptionsn for 2024 that:
- Da Silva would take a Top 30 spot? Possibly at the expense of Jake Simpkin
- at least 2 more halves would be added with Aiden Sezer potentially one of them?
- Tasi James joins the Top 30
If these assumptions play out that we'd have 25 contracted players for 2024 BEFORE we add any more halves to the squad. Of those contracted
Fainu x 3
Feledy
Da Silva
Matamua
Rua
Reilly
Tumeth
James
All have less than 10 games NRL experience which is pretty crazy to think about. Some of these younger guys need to be thrown in before year's end. e.g. Matamua, James and even Reilly (throw him in at left centre. Sink or swim for someone like him)

Those 4 potential Development Squad players are the best development players the club has had for a long time. between Faagutu, Miller, Fainu, Feledy, Da Silva, Bula there is some real talent there for a long time.
I know this takes a lot of work but would be good to see an up to date version of this soon

I wouldn't bother with Rua

I'll get to it in the next day or so. Sorry mate. Mike are you still interested in helping keep it up to date?

no worries I know it’s hard given the club don’t do a good job of advertising things like development contracts.
NBWT has just posted something
https://x.com/nbwt__/status/1693580392450937338?s=46&t=SGE2-dCIr1e1pPADKEKKdQ
Starting squad looks like:
1. Bula
2. Noffa
3. Naden
4. Toa/feledy
5. tupou
6. Sullivan/Latu
7. sezer
8. Stefano
9. Api
10. klemmer
11. bateman
12. papi
13. pole/matamua
14. TDS/simpkins
15. twal/Blore
16. Samuela/Mansfield
17. Kepaoa/
Our spine is locked in now for 24 (Galvin and Latu to start in NSW cup). Probably a bit too much roster spots in the young back row with tumuth, Mansfield, Samuela, kepaoa considering the starting 2RFs are 80min players. Would love to see someone take noffas spot and then maybe drop a young 2RF and rua (keep Simpkin for another year) and bring in more front row depth
@garry... I've updated the contract list with what I could officially find out...
I've added place markers for:
Latu Fainu
Samuela Fainu
Lachlan Galvin
Brandon Mansfield
Because I don't know if they are top 30 contracts yet.... The club is pretty vague on these matters
