The off contract thread 2025

Yikes. It is looking old.

We'd better start blooding some of these young forwards that get talked up this year... to give other clubs the chance to cherry pick the best before we have signed them into future years yet.

Did I already do the one about Penisini envy?

Off contract (i.e. uncontracted for 2024)
Blake
Nrown
Cartwright
Greig
Hodgson (club option)
Loizou
Moses (player option)
Ogden (club option)
Rein
Simonsson (player option)
Sivo

Hodgson has mentioned the option being a mutual option - both a club option and a player option. I'm not sure how it works but you should put it in the damn list, FFS!

Yeah it was explained somewhere that he and the club both had options at different prices. Presumably ours is higher than his with an earlier deadline.

I thought that Hodgo was a MO or more accurately a CO/PO ?

Speaking on Fox League Podcast however, Hodgson stated that the option was in both the club, and his favour on different salaries, meaning he will stay at the Eels in 2024 provided he elects to remain there beyond the end of 2023.

“There is an option in both favours so I have got two years, there is a player option and a club option in that one, so I am there for two years just to clear that one up,” Hodgson said.

“I heard about the story, but there's an option in my favour and in the club’s favour which is obviously different in salaries, that’s why it is negotiated like that but there is an option in both favours so it will be a two-year deal.”

Possibly worth keeping Cartwright one more year, extending Greig two years. Taking the club options on Ogden and Hodgson (if we aren't signing anyone else to come in), and then letting everyone else go... bar Simonssen who was smart enough to negotiate control.

I'm not even going to discuss Moses until he gets his deal done...

The options have all been updated on nrl.com and I need to fix them. Seems mutual options are something we like to throw around. It adds a fun little game theory aspect.

Obviously those with a mutual option are more than likely going to be here, so of those without there is talk of Greig re-signing, and I reckon we will keep Cartwright so likely losses are:
Blake
Loizou
Rein

None of them will be missed.

Ogden may be someone we don't keep if we end with Joffa and do extend Greig.

Mutual options go bye bye:

Off contract (i.e. uncontracted for 2024)
Blake
Cartwright
Greig
Loizou
Ogden (club option)
Rein

Rein has unofficially retired but I’ll leave him here until it’s official.
