The off contract thread 2023

This was the state of the 2018 off contract thread in August:
So these merkins remain off contract:

Auva'a
Davis
Gower
Hayne
G. Jennings
King
Niukore
Pritchard
Vave
Williams

Plus possibly any of these:

Aukafolau
Leleisiuao
Mahoney
Matagi (has probably signed with Huddersfield though)
Stone
Terepo
It appears Niukore was either re-signed without an announcement, or his initial contract had an extra year in there (perhaps an option?) which was likewise never announced. Leleisiuao, Mahoney and Stone were also already contracted for next year.

Anyway, there's a new list of off contract merkins (i.e. they are uncontracted for 2020). That list looks like this (age next year in parentheses):

Alvaro (26)
Davey (28)
French (23)
Gower (34)
Gutherson (25)
Hoffman (31)
Kaufusi (20) (although his contract length was never announced)
Mahoney (21) (although his contract length was never announced)
Mennings (31)
Leleisiuao (22) (although his contract length was never announced)
Ma'u (31)
Mannah (31)
Moeroa (24)
Moses (25)
Niukore (23)
Norman (28)
Pritchard (25)
Stone (22) (although his contract length was never announced)
Takairangi (30)

On top of that, all these junior merkins are possibly off contract as well, though it's less likely for the 19 year olds:

Brown (19)
Dunster (20)
Faingaa (21)
Parry (20)
Schneider (19)
Futoikamanu (20)
Sutoikamanu (19)

I wouldn’t care if we didn’t re-sign any merkin from that first list.

I think an exception can be made for Alvaro and Gutherson at the right price.

Niukore and Mahoney are probably worth minimum wage deals, but their value could increase with a decent season.

Kafusi, GL and Stone you probably need to see how their going to go next season before making a decision.

The rest should already have their locker cleaned out.

Next year is an absolute crossroads year for Moses.

Players in bold are priorities for me. The rest can go.
