None of these guys will be resigned on big money except probably Jack Williams.The rest will be minimum contracts.Now With possibly half the roster gone and so many roster spots open for 2028.Surely mon goes all out for every talent and comes up with a couple quality backs.But yeah exciting times considering we ll have the most money to spend for 2028.

This sounds very much a personal selection process Roy T.
Adding that flavour I hope you are wrong in quiet a few!
You did say you were having a guess, I think we all are!
Lot's of people supporting JAC on TCT and I am encouraged by that. Some are saying we should not do it regardless of the culture i.e. why "spite" ourselves when he offers so much outside of his minor addiction.
If we get rid or lose Hopgood it will be an extreme negative. He is set up to be a Parra stalwart.
Honestly there was genuine thinking behind these aswell.Were tryna build a better culture and someone shits on it and if he can get away with it then other players will think they can to.With hopgood it's been rumored for a while his on the outer and possibly could get nabbed by png but hope I'm wrong.
Williams I'm not confident in. Think pNG will go hard for him and be hard to compete. Can see hopgood also going PNG.
Otherwise I see it the same as you just maybe latu staying if injury free and funa uta leaving
Per Zero Tackle, St George Dragons have signed young Parramatta Eels hooker Lachlan Coinakis. Coinakis was signed with the Eels until the end of 2027. Any thoughts on this from the guys who have knowledge of the lower grades. In the same article, Jayden Bell and Jireh Trey Stewart seems to have been doing better than him.
Lachlans solid but not the end of the world.Dasilva and smith were always ahead of him.
I'll have a bit of fun and have a go Roy.
JAC: Even if not sacked i reckon we move on in 2028
Doorey: With younger forwards who are cheaper and probably offer the same, i think he moves on for more chances.
Edwards: With Smith a good chance of going, i reckon he stays for another year
Funa: Depends on his 2027 season but he could stay.
Hopgood: I reckon he signs elsewhere, with who we have coming through that are cheaper.
Luai: Gone obviously
Paulo: Retired, yeah this will be it i reckon
Kautoga: Wildcard as if Su'A and Williams get starting spots, a club might offer him a start somewhere. Big year for Kitione.
Latu: If stays injury free, could be anything
Moretti: Re-signs
Nanva: Depends on the juniors coming through. He could stay another year.
Joash: Already gone
Samrani: Re-signs
Simonsson: Moves on
Smith: Moves on to possibly start.
Williams: Re-signs.
Kautoga is the biggest one out of them where i have no idea what so ever. It is practically on how Ryles uses Williams which will determine Kautoga's spot in the 17.
Our priorities to resign is
1.Jack Williams
2.Jmaine hopgood
3.Jordan samrani
4.Ryley smith
The rest I honestly couldn't give a shit if they left.
I would assume the same, other than Williams, I assume he leaves to PNG like many others are guessing. Simonsson may be offered another contract as we are very light on backs. Hopgood is 50/50, has had two poor years with injuries but is Origin quality when on the park, needs to transition back into a ball playing 13, he doesnt suit the front row anymore with our current squad.
