Rugby league fans, it has arrived. NRL silly season!
November 1 marks the day when players across Australia and New Zealand essentially become "free agents." Although it's still early in 2026, those whose contracts run until the end of that season are now fair game.
The introduction of the Perth Bears adds an exciting twist to this November 1, making it the most thrilling since the Dolphins' debut.
Today, we'll explore ten players we believe will be in high demand and may change clubs for the 2027 season and beyond.
This list doesn't merely highlight the top ten biggest names whose contracts expire. For instance, although James Tedesco is off contract, I see little chance of him leaving the Roosters for another NRL team.
