New stuff:

- Sean Russell top 30 2022/23
- Makatoa top 30 2022
- Naiduki top 30 2022

so looks like we have 27 players contracted for 2022 (probably soon to be 29 once Rein/Scott are confirmed)

New players on development contracts:

- Rodwell
- Tuipulotu (appears to be a fullback who played SG this year)
- Loizou

Tuipulotu was the star in Harold Matts a few years ago. He either missed the grand final or got injured early and we lost to Manly.

Injured in the 2nd half I believe. He was named player of the tournament

 

[Gronk]

Got some pace.

According to that, Sivo has a player option for 2023... so if his slide in form continues, we're probably stuck with him for two more seasons.

The former Queensland under-19 halfback is expected to play in the NSW Cup next season before moving into the NRL squad in 2023.

I suspect the article is about us signing a failed junior as a project player. It's possible he has a great running game but lacks everything else required for the NRL. Playing NSW Cup next year could mean he's on a part time contract, and moving into the NRL squad could mean bottom of the top 30. Who knows, but it's not worth getting excited about when it's a player who's about to participate in his third NRL pathways system. Why did the Sharks and Dragons let him go in consecutive years?

Hipgrave plus last week's revelations from NRL.com:

¢ = club option
^ = development contract

Fullback: Gutherson (28)
W/C: Blake, Dunster (23), Loizou (20)^, Naiduki (22), Opacic (28), Penisini, Sivo
Half: Arthur (20), D.Brown, Moses
Hooker: Mahoney (24)
Edge forward: Cartwright, Lane, Matterson (28), Niukore (26), Papali'i (24)
Tight forward: N.Brown, Campbell-Gillard, Greig (23), Hollis, Kaufusi (23), Makatoa (29), Paulo (29), Rodwell (23)^, Stone (25)

Some prick made similarly discouraging remarks about Connor Broadhurst a while ago. The fans were not impressed.

Just don't want you merkins getting your hopes up and then overreacting when it doesn't work out.

 

[emjaycee]
