2015 Squad Contract Renewals

[wholetruth]

With today's announcement of EPS upgrades that is now 32 confirmed with The Honeybadger still in that 32, which means just three more?

1. Pek Cowan
2. Luke Burton
3. JT

If JT gets a gig that will be 4 scrum halves, so I think he may struggle.

No. If Pek and Sias confirm as expected than that will be 33, one of which is, so we are told, being held open for Cummo.
JT will miss out sadly.

No, Sias is already confirmed and in the 32.

[wholetruth]

I beg to differ. Looking at the squad so far, Sias has not been confirmed officially but when he and Pek are then that will make it 33.

According to my perusals of comings and goings this is what we have so far - 31 confirmed, 33 with Pek and Sias

OK up front, dubious about the second row, brilliant back row, scrum half good (but not deep re injuries), fly half a real weakness and some significant gaps in the backs. Let's hope DHP and Junior continue to develop.


Oh and almost forgot - great coach and superb team culture developing!

[Tonkar]

the following members of the XPG look good to cover the third tier if needed .. They should get some good guidance from the mature players

[westies man]

Baysie's lock Brent Murphy ,been the Spirit's best player from the games I've watched

[The InnFORCEr]

Pek confirmed until 2016

[Moono74]

Has Nikoro been officially announced yet? Haven't seen anything. He was mentioned in an article in the West Australian along with Tino Nemani as a possible target.

[The InnFORCEr]

Both him and Sias are not officially official, just yet, but they will play for the Force next year

Been some paperwork delays at the ARU for some reason

[Moono74]

So Nemani not on the radar then.

[The InnFORCEr]

Not anymore to my knowledge!

Hey tif I see that some of the eps players on the first page have been included in the main squad was that intentional?

Nikoro has signed. Just waiting for an announcement. Nemani is still a maybe apparently

They have been upgraded to full contracts now. Squad (was 30) is now 35 with no EPS (was 5), but they still have a WTG (Wider Training Group).
