@Crazy-Horse Moananu was fully contracted this year, he's just saying he wasn't offered a full contract for next year.
Ok, but my question still stands.
Moananu didn’t have to give way as he was fully contracted ,Same as Bell, it was a selection decision to select Bell ahead of Maoanau not a directive due to his contract.
If he was on an injury cover contract then yes he would have to give way to Bell. -

Cheers. That was the actual point of my post. I regret mentioning Bell now. I should've known better because I have been reading the Fern long enough.

@Crazy-Horse Sorry, you were spot on with the first part of your question so I just assumed that you knew and forgot to say yes lol
You should never feel regret for bringing up our beautiful balding savior. In fact, we should all start bringing up Bell more often.

I hear most of the squad is signed or has been re signed main areas are who the 3rd HB will be Drummond or Chapman maybe.
3rd First five James White or look for an experienced option.
Find a place for Oil Mathis maybe at Fletcher Andersons expense.
Maybe replace Strange if he goes overseas he has a contract in front of him.
Liam Jack probably will get that spot if Strange does move.
6th Prop stick with Finlay Brewis or look elsewhere.I'd be surprised if Drummond sticks around for Super next year as he is likely going to be the third or fourth ranked halfback behind Hotham, Preston & possibly Louis Chapman in the mix too.

I agree I think Chapman maybe in the mix for the 3rd contract spot.
Especially if he has a strong NPC. -
