  As best as I'm aware:
  
  Fuifui Moimoi - reported to have signed for two years but hasn't formally been announced
  Kris Keating - likely to wait until mid-year and has fielded interest from multiple clubs, most notably the Bulldogs
  Feleti Mateo - currently in negotiations with the club, also has interest from Dogs, Warriors, etc but wants to strike a deal with Eels
  Kris Inu - Linked to a number of clubs, most notably the Warriors, but has also expressed a desire to stay
  Eric Grothe - Linked to Japanese Rugby
  Nathan Cayless - Tipped to retire or ESL
  Jonathan Wright - You'd have to say his future with the club will depend on what happens with Inu
  Brendan Oake - No talk yet of him signing/leaving but it was rumoured previously the Eels were happy for him to look elsewhere
  
  I'd not sure about the likes of Lasalo, Robinson, Allgood and Horo but likely to all be on one-year contracts

  Cheers mate. It'll be really interesting to see who leaves and who stays especially as there are plenty of big name players on that list!!

  Any word on Mitchell Johnson? He certainly looked like he had a big future.

  With regard to interest in KK, I've also heard the Cowboys are keen on him to play at 6 outside Thurston...

  Re-signing Mateo and Fui should be top priority. Must keep the majority of the current team to build a dynasty and than premierships will hopefully come.

  I think Grothe sent a video to Japanese Rugby but got no response (god knows why Grothe would be nearly unstoppable in Japanese Rugby).
  
  I think the latest is he wants to stay although I have to admit you can never be that sure with Eric.
  
  If he does want to stay I would be inclined to give him a 1 or 2 year extension - like Burty I think the big fella is in career best form, and he is an underrated asset for mine.

    Lets just say the bulldogs aren't the only club chasing some of our off contract players.
