How many players do we have signed for next year?

25 + 3 development players in Kane Bradley, Henry Lealuga-Puhotau, Jock Madden. Brings us to 28 if they move into the top 30 next season (can't remember how development contracts work with top 30)

So far we have 3 development players for 2020 in Reece Hoffman, Henry Lealuga-Puhotau and Jake Simpkin. We are allowed 2 more development players.

According to his profile page on the WT site, Kane Bradley "is signed through at Wests Tigers until the end of the 2021 season." What that entails is vague. I'm assuming he will be upgraded to the top 30 for 2020-2021.

Jock Madden is off contract, from what I can tell. He turns 20 next year so it seems a bit too early to give up on him. Dunno what they'll do there as those five development spots are invaluable and should be used in an effort to secure the best, young talent as early as possible.

How do these "development" contracts work? I know that the players can play NRL after June 30, but do they have to be upgraded to the top 30 within some set time period? We have spots in our top 30 now being taken up by Smith, McIntyre and Seyfarth who are unlikely to play NRL in the next 2 years. Why did we upgrade them, particularly on multi year deals when they have shown nothing to suggest that they are close to NRl standard?

Tigers veteran Chris Lawrence makes extraordinary 'sacrifice' for NRL future
By Steve Zemek

NRL Highlights: Tigers v Sharks - Round 25
1 / 20><
Off contract and facing an uncertain future, Wests Tigers veteran Chris Lawrence has declared he's prepared to take a pay cut to remain loyal to his beloved club beyond this NRL season.

Having debuted for the Tigers as a 17-year-old and devoted all 14 years of his career to the joint venture, the Campbelltown junior signalled his determination to move heaven and earth to remain at Concord.

As he ventured on a lap of Leichhardt Oval after Sunday's 25-8 defeat to Cronulla, which spoiled the Tigers' finals hopes, the 30-year-old did so knowing it could be his last game for the side.

Coach Michael Maguire stated his desire for Lawrence to remain on their books, with his experience appearing especially vital given hooker Robbie Farah on Sunday hung up his boots.

However he hinted there were salary cap issues at play after it was last week reported that the club had tabled an initial bargain contract worth $100,000 before issuing an upgraded offer.

"We've spoken to Chrissy and I can only fit in (what's in) the salary cap," Maguire said.

"If players want to play to that, I want them here."

"I want to play football, my objective is to play at the Tigers," Lawrence said.

"Both parties are going to have to take sacrifices here and there, which I've done in the past.

"If it means I'll need to do it again, I'll do it again to stay at the club I love."

Lawrence said there was a chance that Sunday's match was his last for the club but felt like he was still capable of contributing.

"There is a chance but I want to stay at the club, I'll do everything and leave no stone unturned to hopefully make that happen," Lawrence said.

"We'll let the dust settle on the year and chat to the club.

"For me, I still feel I can add to the club and help drive these young guys."

* They can play NRL after June 30 without being in the top 30.
* Players on development contracts have no restrictions on training and things the club can do for them. Basically, they can do everything a top 30 player can do except actually play NRL (while applying the above).

Unsure what else a development contract provides.

As a coach, probably. As a man, Aas bad of a man manager as he was, he had the club’s best interest at heart and was in it for the long haul. Can’t say the same with Ivan.
