Thanks for that comprehensive list WC!

Much appreciated!

 

[Stagger eel]

I'm lead to believe that Mark O'Grady is actually staying at Wenty..

 

[wayne challis]

2 more names to add to the squad:

The Jets have also signed Kyle Lodge, a try-scoring centre from the Souths Logan Magpies, who won the Qld Cup this year.

Another player too old for the Roosters NYC is Tu'u Maori, who should slot on the wing for Newtown. Maori was a PNG rep in the World Cup.

Anthony Cherrington, 12. Shane Shackleton, 13. Rohan Ahern, 14. Tyrone Shelley, 15. Jimmy Anderson, 16. Matthew Hall, 17. Stanley Waqa

Thats my guess.

There's a centre coming down from Q'ld Cup to Newtown,next year, by the name of Kyle Lodge.

 

[Deleted member 10972]

Yes I know, but he is signed to Jets, whereas Gary and Tu'u are Roosters contracted.

 

[Jellybean]

I don;t think Tuu is contracted to Roosters. Not in top 30
