As it stands each outfit must confirm a top 24 roster for 2019 with the NRL as of November 1, the start of rugby league's financial calendar, with 29 players to be signed on when the playing season starts in the first week of March.

Clubs then have up until the traditional June 30 deadline to sign a final player to fill their top 30 squad, with between three and six players also retained on development contracts.

It's understood a key change to the model is likely to make clubs more receptive to publishing full squad lists in 2019, with players who are still included in a club's salary cap but no longer playing there no longer occupying a roster spot from next season.

For example, retired Manly forward Nate Myles remains both on the Sea Eagles books and fills a spot in their top 30 squad because they are still paying his salary in 2018.

With a number of clubs, notably Canterbury due to their much-publicised salary cap woes, paying the salaries of players at rival outfits, they are naturally reticent to make that public knowledge with a full squad list on their own website.
In 2019 however, clubs will still be obliged to fulfil their financial obligations to any player released, with that included in their salary cap.

But they will be able to fill their vacant top 30 spot with another player.

There is expected to be a push from clubland for greater leniency when it comes to selecting players from their development lists for NRL promotion.

Currently clubs must apply for special dispensation to add a development player to their first grade squad, typically an injury crisis that sees them lose all other options in that select player's position.

It's understood the NRL is comfortable with this facet of the top 30 model, which in conjunction with last year's Collective Bargaining Agreement, is designed to make it harder for clubs to stockpile junior talent on base level contracts.

The most high-profile example of dispensation being denied again took place at Manly, when applications to have Manase Fainu elevated to their top 30 squad were rejected because capable but out of favour hooking options Jackson Hastings and Lewis Brown remained available.
 
From NRL website - not sure on accuracy of some of these - just linking it as an FYI

For me there are two surprises in the above list;
Api and Tent (in particular) are both signed till the end of 2021.
I have been hoping Tent would be a real game-breaker but I've been disappointed with his lack of impact. He also seems to get injured for such a big bloke. His 'job' is to injure, not be injured!
I love Api but what does his long-term signing mean to Fainu? Unless they can both share the hooking role, which is possible, then Manase could look for a regular spot elsewhere which would be a real shame.
 
Fainu is a must keep he is only very young and should replace Api as our long Term hooker. Lets hope he is patient !!

Boyle signs with sea eagles effective immediately
Yeah, just read on the Gold Coast Bulletin that Morgan Boyle is joining Manly effective immediately

"RISING Gold Coast behemoth Morgan Boyle has departed the NRL club effective immediately to sign with Manly.

The front-rower will begin his journey at Brookvale on Monday.

Boyle had been tipped for big things after a breakout 2017 rookie season in which he played 15 NRL matches, including a barnstorming effort in running 177m to underpin a memorable 38-36 Titans win over Melbourne at Suncorp Stadium.

Standing at 194cm and 111kg, Boyle offers size and a powerful running game through the middle third of the field."

Manly winger Reuben Garrick re-signs with club before huge Bulldogs performance
By The Mole05/05/19
Manly’s new pin-up boy Reuben Garrick has agreed to a new two-year deal with the Sea Eagles.

Rookie Garrick was the name on everyone’s lips after scoring all Manly’s points in the brave 18-10 win over the Bulldogs on Saturday night at Brookvale.

Garrick was the difference between the two teams, scoring three tries and adding three goals, including a couple of difficult kicks in the windy conditions.

Manly winger Reuben Garrick scores against the Bulldogs. (AAP)
The 21-year-old Dragons junior took a punt this season, leaving Wollongong to try his luck at Manly.

He signed only a one-year deal but coach Des Hasler took an immediate shine to the stocky winger.

He chose him in round one to make his NRL debut and he has been there ever since, scoring tries and kicking goals from all over the park.

WWOS has learned that Garrick actually agreed to terms BEFORE his landmark game against the Bulldogs.

Expect an announcement from Manly in coming days.

Is that 28 ..... no ABBA .... no Croker .... ??

Is this just the NRL on top of their game again ..
 
If that list is fully factual, great to see Albert Hoppa is signed for 2020. Noted also Garrick is now to 2021.
 
No Croker and no Boyle on that list.

Most of those contract dates are right going by published info - refer first post in this thread for contract status and confirmation links
