I thought there were only 2 deadlines to be met, maybe a number before the comp starts (guess)?
Then the final date with the full 30.
@Tiger05

NRL clubs must have at least 24 players in their Top 30 roster by November 1,
28 players by the Monday prior to Round 1, and
the full 30-player roster must be filled by June 30.
Clubs usually lock in their main 2026 squads, featuring 24-28 players, during the preseason before the season starts.

Well there you go. My chat needs a chat 😁

So as far as compliance goes, we just have to replace Bird or promote a development player, even a train and trial player I guess.
Which is what Tiger05 was saying earlier ha ha.

I’d invite @Twizzle but I don’t want him pming me every other day for tips.

But I’ll give him some sage advice

Don’t put Lomax on the wing….!!!!

Now hand over my junior moderatorship.

Six years of “ We are still considering your resume” gets old.

I’m thinking The only reason why Bulla hasn’t signed is coz Benji’ low balling him. And despite the theatrics he’s got nowhere else to go.. I’m liking this
I hope he doesn’t sign and while he’s licking and kissing a picture of himself, sustains a career ending injury.

Chronic Tongue strain syndrome, can’t put mouth guard in, end of career.

That ruined @blue bags comeback, but it was a picture of his letterbox that stirred the loins.

It takes all types.

Actually @This Year? deserves an invite, he’s a riot that kid.

Anyway a lot of nice people on LU and it’s fair share of Moseses.

Pretty sure there are signing limits that need to be met?
I can't recall the first date?
But I'm sure the whole 30 need to signed by end of June/July (I think).
@Vic Mackey or others would probably have better knowledge of this.

my info is that we currently have 28 in the top 30 however both Bunty Afoa and Javon Andrew’s who are on Dev contracts automatically get upgraded to top 30 after June 30 so we won’t be signing anyone unless we move a player on. If Bird is moved then we’ll have a spot available

When Bunty and Andrew’s move to top 30 Phoneix Godinet and Christian Taupau-Moors move from train and trial to top 30.

I’ve heard we’re in current negotiations with an experienced forward for 2027 and if we get him will try and bring him here this year.
