  • From mu understanding we have 25 people (plus Lane) in our top 30 for 2026. And we have 5 players (plus Pryke) on development deals.

    Top 30:

    1. Moses (2029)
    2. Lomax (2028)
    3. Hopgood (2027)
    4. Williams 
    5. Tuivita 
    6. Simmonson 
    7. Moretti 
    8. Isaiah Iongi 
    9. Ado Carr (2026)
    10. Matterson
    11. W Penisni
    12. Doorey
    13. Hawkins
    14. Papalii
    15. Paulo
    16. Hands
    17. Russel 
    18. Tuilagi
    19. Guymer
    20. R Penisni
    21. Walker
    22. Mataele
    23. Volkman
    24. Kautoga
    25. Samrani
    26. Lane (PO/on leave)

    Dev Deals:

    1. Ryley Smith (2026)
    2. Jake Tago (2026)
    3. Will Latu (2027 - top 30)
    4. Jez Funa-Luta (2027 - top 30)
    5. Api Twiddle (2026)
    6. Saxon Pryke (MO)

    So that leaves Keir, AMS, Dunster, Lussick, Grieg, Cartwright, Brown all leaving the club at this stage.

    You would think that Smith gets upgraded to the top 30 and Lane will leave which would keep the top 30 at 26 people and developent contract at 5. Hence got 4 spots on top 30 and 1 spot on development deal left. Within the club I expect the following players to push for a dev/top 30 contract:

    • T Brown
    • D Neemia
    • A Nanva
    • D De Stradis
    • T Lokeni
    • L Coinakis
    • L Talataina
    • M Alamadine
    • J Hudson
    • T Lokeni
    • M Popo
    • R Talagi
    • Love your work EA, very informative and your knowledge of our juniors is 2nd to none.

      I'm sure I'm not alone in appreciation of your work on this site.

      • Thanks mate. Hopefully a big blog will come soon when I get the time to write it about our u21 players 

        • Ea, i haven't watched a lower grade game this year and TCT gives me bile, so i don't visit. My knowledge of our lower grade players is directly attributable to you good chap. Kudos

    • Isn't Dunster on leave aswell?

    • Why would we not upgrade Riley right now. The way we are playing him mocks the idea of being on a dev deal.

      He is our frontline hooker and I am likng his vibe....we should show some respect and upgrade him yesterday
