While Adam D'Apuzzo requested an exit to try for a move to Sydney, several other players are waiting to see if they will be returning to the club next year.

Jobe Wheelhouse, Ali Abbas, Sasho Petrovski, Sean Rooney, Kaz Patafta, Neil Young, Matt Nash and Brodie Mooy are all out of contract.

"We will continue discussions with the players out of contract that we want to keep," Culina told the Newcastle Herald.

"Everyone else, if they haven't been informed already, they will be by Wednesday."

As for incoming players, the Jets are being strongly linked with Branko's son Jason, but a move for Manchester United's Michael Owen is understood to have been abandoned.
