Cameron Park's Southwell, Scone-based Yasmin Meakes and Muswellbrook product Brydie Parker, who were all part of the NSW Sky Blues for last month's State of Origin, will continue at the Roosters in 2021.
The likes of Olivia Higgins (Raymond Terrace) and Tayla Predebon (Gloucester) have earned contracts with the Roosters, now coached by Central Coast club mentor John Strange.
Isabelle Kelly, who already plays under Strange in the state competition and alongside Southwell, Meakes, Parker, Higgins and Predebon, has switched back to the Roosters after an NRLW season with the Dragons.
Another Hunter pair, Mel Howard (Wallsend) and Bobbi Law (Nelson Bay), weren't listed by the Roosters on the weekend and could potentially end up at the Knights.
