Hostplus Cup contracts are accepted for a final squad of 32 players. Larger squads are allowed for the pre-season and trials, but only 32 contracts lodged through Smartabase will be accepted.
A player can be added to the squad only if an existing member suffers a season-ending injury, with medical confirmation and an application to the Competitions Manager.
A match-day squad is 17 players in numbered positions plus a nominated 18th Player Replacement, with 13 on the field at a time.
