2017 Roster Blog - Top 25 & 2nd Tier

Thought I'd create a blog that can be updated as we sign and re-sign players to have a bit more clarity on our top 25 as this is always an area of interest. Currently we have 11 players off contract at the end of this year. We have a further 6 who will be here in 2017 but which tier of contract they have is not well known.

If anyone has some good info on who will be staying next year and what level of the cap they will be under add your knowledge so the blog can be updated accordingly.

Off-contract: Jeff Robson, Cameron King, Bureta Faraimo, Vai Toutai, Scott Schulte, Mitch Cornish, Kelepi Tanginoa, Honeti Tuha, Matt Woods, Joseph Ualesi (10)

2017 Top 25 according to position (19/25 locked in)
Fullback: Bevan French (1)
Outside backs: Semi Radradra, Michael Jennings, Brad Takairangi (3)
Halves: Clint Gutherson, Corey Norman (2)
Props: Tim Mannah, Danny Wicks, Nathan Brown, Peni Terepo, Daniel Alvaro, Siosaia Vave (6)
2RF: Manu Ma'u, Beau Scott, Tepai Moeroa, Kenny Edwards, David Gower (5)
Hooker: Isaac De Gois, Kaysa Pritchard (2)

2nd Tier Wenty: George Jennings

Unknown tier: Rory O'Brien, James Hasson, Cody Nelson, Jamal Fogarty, John Folau, Alex Twal (6)

  • With the recent signing and re-signings surely most of those of not all the off contract players will be moved on to stay under salary cap.

  • Folau and Hasson belong on the bottom tier.

  • Are we gonna re-sign Kelepi?
    • I'd like to think so, we are only an injury or 2 from being very skinny in the back row
    • I'd like to see him stay mate he was the best player in Wenty this year before he got injured
  • So happy David Gower is still around. I hate change. Confucian saying the more you change the more things stay the same. If it ain't broke don't fix it. BA said in an interview on Fox about a month ago he hopes to keep this lot together for at least 2 years.
  • I thought Robson signed for another year? I was impressed d with him this year. Give me a good, solid and reliable player anyday.
