Top 26

There is still a lot of talk about the squads being reduced next year to only 26 players (this figure is speculative) we have 23 signed for next year. IF we re-sign Hoppa, that leaves only 2 spots to fill. Surely we add another strike outside back and another Hooker/Half.
IF we re-sign Levi, that leaves only 1 spot for a strike winger
 
Is there any links or details behind this statement?

Considering 11 NRL clubs have used more than 26 players in 2020 so far and another 2 have used 26, the statement sounds like April 1st joke.

It's been mentioned numerous times on fox. Bellamy spoke about it a couple months ago and recently an article about Waddell fearing he may miss out on a contract as the squad will be reduced. You obviously don't have Foxtel? 😉

Surely Fainu doesn't use up a spot while he is stood-down by the NRL.

Isn't the "the squad" how you make up the cap? I.e. you get 30 players that all have to fit into the cap and then there become some fringe player issues if you have a bunch of injuries because of match payments?

I'm not sure how they would work it out. Obviously some players would have to be let go and others possibly dropped to development contracts.
Apparently the NRL can't afford 30 players next year so are looking to reduce the squads. Which means NO room for mediocrity
