Off contract (i.e. uncontracted for 2025)
Asi - not fussed
Brazel (development contract) - may as well keep on minimum
Cini - not fussed
Dunster (mutual option) - assume mutual option means player will choose to stay one more year, if no other offers are forthcoming and even if club doesn't take up its option?
Guymer (development contract) - may as well keep, if he's the one I'm thinking of had back row potential?
Harper - not fussed, only if something better doesn't come along
Makatoa - seems to have drifted out of BA's top 17 consideration, so probably prefer a junior with potential taking the 2025 top 30 spot
Ogden - same as Maka but never really made it to top 17, and at 27yo now prefer a junior with potential taking the 2025 top 30 spot
Rodwell - all unofficial reports indicate gone O/S for 2025, if not earlier?
Sanders (development contract) - may as well keep at a reasonable price if he wants to stay, but it seems like he won't and will chase the money with Ricky as soon as allowable?
Simonsson - only if something better doesn't come along
Talagi (player option) - not really up to the club - assume player will choose one more year if he wasn't to stay, or he'll go for a higher offer if he doesn't have reason for loyalty etc
Taumoepenu - not fussed, has he even played yet?

Sensible really. Tuivaiti and Moretti will join the NRL squad in 2025 so I am guessing that they will fill the spots of Ogden and Makatoa IMO. Guymer and Brazel have been brought along by the club and I would hope that we would see both retained - they have shown potential and would be similar cheaper options as Rodwell, Ogden and Makatoa.

I hope we resign Taumoepenu would be a huge loss for us 😉
