Nothing solid has come of this yet, has it? It wouldn't surprise me if it's somewhat contingent on what happens with JOC (James O'Connor)

Leota signed a few hours ago and no mention.

It is a little concerning these players only signing for a year with pre-existing deals with RA. Think a lot will be heading overseas after 2025 and squads might be weakest has been in pro era
They are not really signing new contracts. They're just agreeing to complete their existing contract with the Waratahs.

That’s what I was getting at by saying complete existing contracts. You just put it in better words.

Maybe. RA will have a lot more money by this time next year, and will be planning for a WC.
If I was a player I'd much rather be negotiating my next two year deal under those circumstances

Can see Leota playing some lock as well. Arguably had some of his best games for rebels at lock

No mention, except social media posts by the Tahs and Christy Doran, a story on rugby.com.au, and an update on the Tahs contract page? If you're waiting for a story on SMH, probably will take a while given those journos are on strike.

What does it look like after 13 Achilles tendon ruptures?
Don't forget the inevitable toe injury just as Bell starts hitting his stride

Be interesting to see how Rebs players settle at their main competitor, no love lost between the 2 teams, maybe that’s why they’re only 1 year contracts.
Lambert is also a very good prop, as is Tom Ross
I will reiterate, the Tah's prop stocks (and hooker stocks ie Julian Heaven) are pretty good, they just all got injured

No it took several hours for someone to comment on here.
I think it's mostly because it has been all but confirmed for a couple of weeks so when it actually became official it wasn't overly interesting.
