Kevin Naiqama released ?

[DP1990]

I've just heard that Kevin Naiqama has also been released.


Has anyone heard this as well ? I just want to check and confirm. In reality, not a big or major loss but obviously it's freeing up a top 30 spot.

Have not seen anything reported by the club as of yet, nor anything on major new outlets.

We’ve just signed Matt Lodge so that will explain some of this releasing of players. We’re also trying to fit Angus in the cap as the NRL still haven’t signed off in that.

Great. Momorovski can go with him as well.

Not heard that - Roosters have 26 players in the 30 player squad and 5 on development/extended squad contracts

Dam how much did Lodge cost

[HunchoRooster]

He won't be a big loss. Robbo's outside backs recruitment leaves something to be desired. Moz boys aside.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Devastating news.

Kevin was a very strange signing to begin with.

Yes, Tedesco has been a complete dud.

Only joking, there have been a few head scratchers. Joe Burgess and Ryan Hall are two of the worst.

[Mickie Lane]

I dont know how it all works in regards to players contracts & pay outs but thanks for your services Kevin.

[Rooster90]

So if we are releasing all these players from the top 30 squad, who is replacing them?

Robbo and Naiqama go way back to the U20s at Newcastle in 2009, he was only ever signed as a favour, depth and to mentor
He had actually retired before getting a call from Robbo

Doubt this one has legs...

[Andrew Walker]

Devastating news.

LOL you beat me to it

[Bondicigar]

Very astute release
