Cowboys centre Esan Marsters and Warriors prop Bunty Afoa have been given their marching orders and will need to look for another club, according toย The Sydney Morning Herald.
Marsters looked to be a good recruit by the Cowboys early on, but now can't get himself back into the mix for the Cowboys first team.
Despite being contracted at the Cowboys until 2022, the 24-year old has been granted permission to talk with other rival clubs.
With a roster spot open for the Cowboys, it could pave the way for South Sydney utility Alex Johnston to join the club, but it's believed me will likely sign for a Sydney based club instead.
Meanwhile for the Warriors, Afoa, who is currently sidelined because of an ACL injury, has been told to look elsewhere and won't be apart of soon to beย coach Nathan Brownโs future.
Afoa would be a great addition to broncos pack with Pangi gone hopefully and fifita. Masters should try getting a deal with manly. They new another centre.
Also heard Bulldogs are looking to offload DWZ.
Perfect time to start up another NZ team, all off contract end of this year or unwanted. Throw in a couple Aussies to make numbers.
1. Caleb Aekins
2. DWZ
3. Esan Masters
4. Hayze Perham
5. Jordan Kahu
6. Keiran Foran
7. Jackson Hastings
8. John Asiata
9. Danny Levi
10. James Tamou
11. Isiah Pappalii
12. Kevin Proctor
13. Adam Blair
14. Brad Takarangi
15. Russell Packer
16. Bunty Afoa
17. Scott Sorensen
18. Gerald Beale/MWZ/Steven Masters
19. Matt Parcell/Albert Kelly
20. Elijah Taylor/Peni Terepo/Tom Amone/Jamil Hopoate
Maybe not a top team maybe gets a wooden spoon or two but have to start from somewhere. DWZ Kahu Masters Foran Tamou Asiata Hastings Proctor these guys are all good first level grade players. You then mix abit of youth Perham Afoa Pappalii Aekins and abit of experience Takarangi Blair amd youโve got a decent start.
