There is 25, with Tuipulotu included, already signed up for next season according to the NRL site. https://www.nrl.com/news/2022/01/27...r-official-rosters-for-all-17-nrl-clubs/#eels
Didn't I read somewhere Tuipulotu is also moving on?
Interesting to see who the other 4 or 5 players we sign between now and 1 March are. We're losing 6 players genuinely considered NRL level (lets call it 'inside the Top 20'). At this stage we have only replaced two of them (Hodgson for Mahoney, Hopgood for Niukore/Kaufusi/Stone). The bloke from the Knights you can't really classify as a similar level to Niukore/Kaufusi/Stone. We could really do with a strong edge forward to replace Papali'i, but ultimately we really need to get Nrown back in some sort of form.
A better centre or winger for Opacic would also be nice. Although you would think we have a fair opinion of Dunster given the length of his deal (probably a good reason to punt Blake at the end of 2023 and sign a gun centre instead). I'm not sure Simonnson will ever amount to much. Russell has showed potential in his limited opportunities
