- Start date
- Sep 6, 2013

Currently off contract end 2026 and likely decision:
Arthars - Let go
Black - Let go or stays on minimum wage
Duffy - Let go
Gosiewski - Let go or stays on minimum wage
Haas - Hopefully re-signed but also upgraded
Bunt - Retires
Junt - Let go or stays on minimum wage
Paix - Let go or stays on minimum wage
Reynolds - Retires
Rogers - Let go for sure
Shibasaki - Holding pattern - if he continues this next year - he will need an upgrade
Billiam - Re-signed on marquee money - seriously though, he will hang around for a steal for us I'm sure
Other players who will be needing upgrades or let go in subsequent years:
Mariner (2027)
Carrigan (2028)
Haas (2026 and mentioned above)
Karapani (2027)
Mozer (2027)
Piakura (2027)
Riki (2027)
Shibasaki (2026)

I'm almost positive we won't be able to keep Shiba.
Focus on spine, Payne and Pat. Then Kotoni. Fill out the squad how you can after that.

Willison is a must as well

Pezet won’t be on a heavy wicket though. He has 4 years of first grade now. He won’t be resigned again till he is 26-27 years of age. He has achieved nothing in the game he can’t be on anything ridiculous you wouldn’t imagine.
I think it throws a minor spanner in the works but at the same time Hunt, Reyno, Hetherington, Cobbo. That’s a lot of money and the only signings have been Pezet for 27 and Anderson next year of any real note. Haas due an upgrade (nothing beyond 200k if that), Walsh I believe increases year on year still. I think Carrigan after 100k extra or so as well. There’s some wiggle room without panic stations. I think there’ll be one player we lose. Tactically I think we should just let Shibasaki go through to the keeper (off to someone else). Love him but we will have Mariner wanting to play centre, Verhoeven coming through, Anderson in the squad, with the carrot of a starting spot Arthars wouldn’t be to difficult to convince to stay. Mozer and Bukowski are still a decent way off a concerning upgrade in dollar terms.
Shouldn’t be to bad. Just need to keep on top of it. Pezet doesn’t throw things to out of whack imo, great signing.

I feel we need to return it. I feel bad for them. Maybe we could give them Baker. Thoughts everyone?

You've just let go of all our halves. We'll need someone in the reserves in case of injuries and suspension or rep duties

Yeah I know but there will always be a back up halfback we can find somewhere. Duffy or Black might stick around anyway.

We gave them a dubious offside this season for what would have been a Walsh screamer on full time.
Evens.

We have to have a squad of 30 so all those you say to let go need to be replaced with someone. If you're implying that we just replace all of them with minimum wage guys to free up money, then our depth will be non existent and is what won us the premiership this year. However, our depth was crazy this year and can be partly put down to good coaching from Madge so maybe we can spend more on our top 17 and just hope we get lucky with injuries and have some good cheap guys as back-ups.

Anasta has confirmed the deal on radio down here this morning. Said a multi-year offer from Parra was significantly more money than Brisbane offered, but Jonah was persuaded and impressed by Madge's pitch on signing with Broncos.

Madge be like: "Broncos!"
Pezet be like: "Where do I sign?"
Parra be like: "Would you like to borrow my pen?"
Storm be like: "The stuck up bastards have done us again!!"
Coates be like: "Another part of me just died. Why did I take less money for this?"

This is who we'll lose IMO. He's older and hasn't earned big dollars through his career. I expect him to go get his pay day tbh, and good luck to him.
