Nrl site has him as 2 year top 30 deal

2024 NRL Signings Tracker: Tigers in Pole position until 2027

I say that telecrap code side is wrong.

Nrl.com has updated their website as new information has become available. They've had contracts down as full length but then updated to show PO, CO, MO in the past.

There's also no reason why 1st year couldn't be TnT and 2nd year T30

I don't think it wouId make sense to have Tnt followed by a T30. If we are unsure if he is good enough for 2025 (thus the Tnt), why offer him top 30 for the year after.

Also I doubt we wouId officially announce a 2 year deal if it was Tnt first year.

I initially heard that it was "development" for the 1st year then T30 for the year after. Given his injury history we may believe that he needs time on the field before he's in line for a first grade opportunity?

We announced 3 re-signings that aren't even TnT for next year not long ago. The press release was likely seen as an easy win for a club a bit under the pump for releasing first grade players.

I think this is most likely.

I think it would relate to his position/role within the squad, and cap space being freed up in 2026. For example, Samrani might be expected to fill Dunster’s roster slot. As we know, that merkin is still on the books for next season.
