This actually says the end of 2027, but again no indication of which years are development list, top 30 or part-time. Fletcher could be top 30 in the final year. It also mentions Talagi and Coinakis and as far as we know, they are still part timers. Their 2027 component might be dev list or it might not.

I believe so but never announced, though I guess MON's comments in the TCT interview are official enough. I'd add him, but there's no indication of the contract length, and NRL.com no longer lists dev players.

Its interesting the club made such an effort to announce JFI and Latu but none of the others.
