A majority of NRL roster spots have been filled, and teams - minus their Rugby League World Cup players - are returning for pre-season.
The first-ever Dolphins' training session has been held on Monday, while most bottom-eight clubs were also back on deck.
The NRL season is expected to begin on the first weekend in March, leaving just four months for players to train and, for those limited to development or train and trial contracts, push for upgrades.
Zero Tackle have compiled the full list of every contracted player in the NRL, even with collective bargaining agreements continuing in the background, with the status of every squad now clear.
Note: Some development contracts may not be included.
Squads are correct as of 1pm (AEDT), November 7.
Cronulla Sharks
With the recent promotion of Siteni Taukamo into the top group at the Sharks, as well as the earlier ones of Thomas Hazelton and Jesse Colquhoun, the men from the Shire have no roster spots remaining for next season.
Number of contracted players: 30
Number of development players: 1
