The Roosters have confirmed the departures of eight players from their 2023 squad including former representative players Nathan Brown and Corey Allan.
The Roosters took to Twitter to thank top 30 players Brown, Allan, Drew Hutchison, Jaxson Paulo, Fletcher Baker, Jake Turpin, Paul Momirovski and development player Ben Thomas for their services to the club.
Interestingly centre Billy Smith and utility Connor Watson were not among the players announced, which means new deals could be finalised imminently for the duo.
