Doorey extends plus a bunch of merkins take up their options. I wonder if the timing of the announcement means they were all taken on the player side:

* = player option
¢ = club option
" = mutual option
^ = development contract

2023
Utility: Asi, Brown, Gutherson, Kalache^, Talagi^
Fullback: -
W/C: Blake (29), Cini^, Dunster, Loizou (21), Penisini, Russell, Simonsson, Sivo
Half: Moses
Hooker: Hodgson, Rein (33)
Edge forward: Cartwright (29), Davey, Doorey, Lane, Mataele^, Matterson, Murchie
Middle: Campbell-Gillard, Greig (24), Hopgood, Makatoa, Momoisea, Ofahengaue, Ogden, Paulo, Rodwell

2024
Utility: Asi (24), Brown, Gutherson, Kalache (21)^, Talagi^

Hooker: Hands, Hodgson (35)
Edge forward: Davey (33), Doorey, Lane, Mataele, Matterson, Murchie (27)
Middle: Campbell-Gillard, Hopgood, Makatoa (31), Momoisea (26), Ofahengaue, Ogden (28)¢, Paulo, Rodwell (25)

We've got 27 players in our Top 30 now, but we've had 31 players in the Top 30 at some stage is that correct?

So we've got 3 slots available if needed, but we've used all 30 slots if we don't?

I don't think it matters after round ten or whenever it was that you can use players from outside the top 30. Although we apparently picked a non-top 30 player in round one so I dunno.
