Moretti:

Off contract (i.e. uncontracted for 2026)
Addo-Carr (club option)
Brown (player option)
Cartwright
Dunster
Greig
Lane (mutual option)
Lussick
Mataele
Matterson (player option)
Ofahengaue
Wenisini (player option)
Tuivati

Of this list, the only one Off Contract that should be considered for 2026 is Tuivati, depending on how much he wants.

If the ones with Player Options want to take them up, then so be it...but you're not getting a cent more.

Fox obviously we can decide later and we'll see how he goes.

If both parties have to take up a Mutual Option for it to occur, then Lane has half a season to convince us.

Matterson has taken his option.

NRL.com is showing Lane as contracted for 2026 while Matterson and Penisini are not. JAC's club option is still shown: https://www.nrl.com/news/2025/01/01/2025-nrl-signings-tracker-new-year-new-heroes/

I don't think there's any guaranteed "keepers" there for 2026 - apart from the gents with options that force us that way.

Tuivati has started the season with the most hope of getting a 2026 deal - selected for the NRL bench twice.
