2025 Squad - Speculation Thread

[Burgs]

I am sure plenty others are already done deals just not announced. Koteka is not on your list, I believe he is still contracted before and is the reason Callan has been let go.

Yes, but is assumption to post as such.
Re Koteka, be delighted to update his status if can be officially confirmed,
Recent developments have proven, just because a contract was previously signed doesn't mean it is the current situation.
I suspect we won't get official public confirmation until the full Squad is announced.

Add: Also a word of caution, as good as Koteka has been, by Round 1 next season he will be a 31 year old that won't have played professionally in two months under three years. He has an enormous motor and a significant "pre-season" to get back to 100%, but I don't think we should be setting a high bar for him from Day 1 Koteka Mk II.
In 2022 he was the undisputed Force #7. In 2025 he will be up against Tizzano. Fantastic (we assume still) injury cover, but not really Backrow bench cover (ie 6-7-8).
