Squad succession

[84 Baby]

That’s it! I’m putting you on ignore.

Which toppings?

 

[the phantom menace]

It’s definitely as much art as science.

I'd say it's more (f)art than science...

 

[T.S Quint]

Which toppings?

I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.
Got you on ignore, remember.

WTF would you know merkin!!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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

Veteran hooker quietly makes call on future

He has played for four NRL clubs.

FFS I was trying to help ya stay ahead merkin!!! #shitbagasleeponthedunny

 

[Gronk]

 

[Chipmunk]

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?

 

[the phantom menace]

I think it's all a very moveable feast, and the 30 only might only have to be locked down or finally complete on a certain date (30 June)?

 

[Avenger]

We have such a balanced squad.

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.
