Hughes & Sheridan are both contracted until the end of the 2027/28 season. 3 more seasons.
Odds on their values are going to increase between now and then, ie good chance they will have that 'breakout' campaign before those contracts expire. Plus Dome's rhetoric is really about giving Italiano every chance to succeeed next season, not having another bad one. Hard to see either Issac or Matt moving on just yet.
All of those likely to go to the upcoming U20 WC, it will be a bit more uncertain. Always a chance they star and some crazy club offer comes in.
Was some rumoured interest (Stoke City?) in Supyk, and he only has 12 months left. Nix won't want him to leave on a free. If Waine does return to Welly (and Barba stays!), might as well try get a fee for Supyk before next year? Contract lengths below of those likely to go to the U20 WC
