Pou wiped him from his list so I assume BA will wipe him once he checks the thread

Well this thread is serious business.

He’s out of the NRL development squad. Still listed in the Flegg squad. In fact he is named this week.

 

[Twizzle]

good to see no one is off contract

Officially gone where? He's still with the club

Every bloke with his age listed in parentheses is off contract that year.

Off contract doesn’t mean the player doesn’t currently have a contract. It means he doesn’t have a contract for next year.

Off contract doesn’t mean the player doesn’t currently have a contract. It means he doesn’t have a contract for next year.

Or as nrl.com innuendoed they could be off contract at the end of the season. As in next season is the final year of their contract

Pou is the merkin taking him off his all important squad succession list.

I thought he was signed up till 2019.

 

[Chipmunk]

Will Smith is a great player to have. Can play 7 9 1 or maybe even 2 5. Mr Fixit.

Not 6?

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

Not 6?

He probably could but it's the last position we need him for barring a horrendous injury toll.

Plenty of our Flegg squad (and younger grades) have contracts for future years. We just don’t know what they are because the club hasn’t announced it. For all we know Dylan Brown might already be in our top 30 next year. I’m only including official announcements in this thread.

 

[Twizzle]

Or as nrl.com innuendoed they could be off contract at the end of the season. As in next season is the final year of their contract

couldn't have said it better

maybe it should be "currently under contract but may not have a contract next year"

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And instead of contract we could say they have a written agreement to play footy in exchange for money.

 

[Twizzle]

I think we may have a solution in place there Poo
