Can you put their media-speculated contract amounts next to each player.
Thanks in advance Pou

The club has removed some profiles from the official site (here), but only merkins confirmed to be elsewhere next year (e.g. Kelly and Morgan). This implies that everyone remaining on the profiles page has re-signed for at least 2017. Therefore I will post this update tentatively, like a soft little bitchman:

2017
Fullback: French
W/C: Faraimo, Folau, G.Jennings, M.Jennings, Radradra, Schulte, Toutai, Tuha
Half: Norman, Robson
Hooker: De Gois, King, Pritchard
Edge forward: Edwards, Gower, Ma'u, Moeroa, Scott, Tanginoa, Woods
Tight forward: Alvaro, Brown, Hasson, Mannah, O'Brien, Terepo, Twal, Ualesi, Vave, Wicks
Utility: Gutherson, Hoffman, Nelson, Takairangi

2018
Fullback: French
W/C: M.Jennings, Radradra
Half: Norman
Hooker: De Gois, Pritchard
Edge forward: Edwards, Ma'u, Scott
Tight forward: Alvaro, Brown, Vave, Wicks
Utility: Hoffman, Takairangi

2019
Fullback: French
W/C: M.Jennings
Half: Norman
Hooker: -
Edge forward: Edwards, Ma'u
Tight forward: -
Utility: Hoffman, Takairangi

So we officially have 35 merkins in next year's squad (though we know there will be more). Twenty of those are off contract for 2018, probably.

2019
Fullback: French

So we officially have 40 merkins in next year's squad. No more than 25 of those are off contract for 2018.

I will put him down as an edge forward but I expect him to play in the middle. Of course, I could be wrong.

You WILL f**king put him down as a UTILITY unless the press release states he has signed to a particular position.

Where the hell do you get off thinking that you are picking which position BA plays certain players in....?
Is that a small, little Indian man thing or what?

Well it is - Indian Super League lineups are picked by a public vote every Tuesday. But in this case I am going off the player's recent history.
