He’s off contract at the end of 2024, it is past 1 November, and it would be his management seeking expressions of interest for 2025. Which is good management from the manager. Shopped isn’t the word, probably.

He is the best hooker at the club , its crazy to let him go without having someone else better.
This just highlights how dumb the move is to extend Levi.

The article says "offered", I'd say that means shopped

One of the more predictable storylines to emerge
Not a single person who is paying attention to Raiders football thinks this coach wont go full steam ahead with Danny Levi.
Stuart's stubborness knows no bounds. We're going to get heavy doses of Danny Levi and Tom Starling in 2024, and we'll suffer the consequences accordingly.

The best hope is that Woolford is retained so that eventually when Stuart figures out he's **** up... again... we'll go back to Woolford and we'll get a little better.
The greatest hope is that we'll find a hooker solution that doesnt involve Woolford, Levi or Starling by 2025.

I doubt the club is doing it, is was what I was trying to express. The club has given some sort of signal, however, given they’ve extended Levi and Starling beyond 2024, but not Woolford.

It was quoted that woolford was dropped at the start of the season but Ricky had to get him into first grade because of Levis injury.
Raiders play better with him than any other hooker on our roster....
Madness until we find our next great 9

Smoke = fire.

Let’s face it, releasing our best hooker and persisting with elite spuds instead would be a very Ricky/Raiders thing to do.

I’m tipping he’s gone by Xmas :thumbsdown

Right or wrong the only reason it’s a story is because it’s believable.

Despite what Horses say (or neigh) - Wouldn’t surprise me if the Farmer is sounding out his options.

Trevialian is back in the development squad, Woolford isn't signed up past 2024 and hence these rumours likely have a lot of substance around them at least...We re-signed Levi and Starling early I'm sure due to the MASSIVE interest from other clubs throwing HUGE money at them (/s).... It's just a great example of the quality if coaching and retention we have here at the Raiders...

Zac Woolford in Canberra Raiders' plans despite rumours

Zac Woolford is squarely in the Canberra Raiders' plans for the 2024 NRL season. But at this stage he's one of a number of off-contract stars who the Raiders were yet to open talks with. It's believed the Green Machine were waiting to see how things panned out in the next few months before making a move. Woolford’s not looking for a move after reports came out of England on Friday night that he was being offered to Super League clubs.

You need to have a buyer. We'd be selling either of them for pennies on the dollar, which is hilarious given they've both been freshly re-signed.
