I feel like any commentator who manages to repeat his name 3 times will curse his descendants for a millennia
I think if a player without Fijian heritage ever actually pronounces it right the independent doctor would pull them for an HIA

Same. Last Wallaby I can name is George Greegan & that's mostly because the stand at Bruce is named after him.
I can do better than that... Koriobete and Vunivalu... I think there is a Hooper, White and Frost...
I think that's it from me, everyone else I can name is surely retired, many from the Greegan era...

Didn't think of ex-Leagueys. But I haven't heard of them since they left.

There was a Rogers. A good one.

David Fifitas current contract allows him to opt out (of 2025 & 26) before round 10 this year if he doesn’t like Hasler.

So technically him and AFB are on the table for 2024 for teams willing to fork out 1mil+ for forwards.

These contracts now are a joke.

List of our uncontracted players for next year. Who is a must to re sign and who are you happy to let go?

Jayden Berrell, Jesse Colquhoun, Braden Hamlin-Uele, Kayal Iro, Matt Moylan, Niwhai Puru, Toby Rudolf, Siteni Taukamo, Connor Tracey, Jack Williams
Really depends on price but if I had to guess I'd like to see us keep Colquhoun, Iro, Puru, Rudolf and Williams.

Uele has been inconsistent so it's hard to give him big $, and Connor will undoubtedly offer more value to another club.

Berrell: ideally we have a competent junior hooker coming through Fitz has enough confidence in, otherwise he’s pretty important to keep

Colquhoun: looks good, easy keep

Hamlin-Uele: starting prop, can’t let him go unless we have another (AFB?). Even if Hazleton is challenging for a start that may not be good enough to let a starter walk.

Iro: if not part of our team by like 1/3 of way into year he’ll surely leave

Moylan: haha

Puru: hasn’t really stood up in Cup but will have more info by the time we’re looking at re-signing him. Otherwise probably need external replacement and Ipson a bit young.

Rudolf: same as BHU. Can’t let starting props go without a replacement.

Taukamo: been injured too much to say atm

Tracey: expect him to leave, but we’ll see how much club values him vs others. Diff story if he locks down a jersey

Williams: expect to keep especially with Dale going into final year
