List of players coming off contract in 2027. So available to negotiate November 1.

Jsaf
Lucus
Best
Dom
Croker
McEwen
Marz (off contract this year)
Manu
Hunt
ESL

I put this list in order of importance. Fletcher Sharpe of contract in 28. So would be looking to extend him early next year.

Having 2 players take up a large chunk of the cap could make keeping them all difficult. But all these guys I feel we want to keep.
 
SG Ball side plays their grandfinal today.

Tooheys news a few days ago identified Toby Winter as a possible replacement for Dane Gagai as early as next year.
He also names second row Curtis Mulherin, hooker Diesal Hagan and winger Melchizedek Nonu as having "NRL potential written all over them."

Mulherin was our best forward in Matts last year and had some big wraps on him preseason. He didn't make the Ball side early in the season, but once he got a game he quickly established himself as one of the best in the team. Ironically, he took the spot of Roy Simpson, because people are now saying Mulherin looks like a young Steve Simpson. he'd be 17/18 this year.

Hagan will leap from Ball to reserve grade and might even get a firstgrade start this year - he's that good.

Nonu has scored heaps of tries this year. He's a very tall right winger who does more than his share of hit ups and bends the line every time. On the downside, he's rubbish under a high ball and his ball security needs to improve, but I suspect he'll work on those things in flegg and get a firstgrade pre-season next year.
