The 2024 NRL season is rolling on, but clubs are already well into planning out their 2025 moves.
With contract spots being snapped up and players confirming whether they will stay at their current club or head elsewhere, Zero Tackle have run the rule over every team's current state of play.
This will be continually updated as player signings are confirmed - note, it will not be updated on rumours, but only confirmed signings.
There are only 32 spots available in Top 30s heading into next year, while most clubs are still yet to formally announce their development player lists.

Ata and Weekes should be in the 17
Well, maybe if I were a Queenslander and took more interest in the Queensland teams then I would be more appreciative of this squad.
However, I am not, and it strikes me that outside the run-on 13 there is no-one who is going to frighten any of the opposition.
Is that just my ignorance or are they really ten stars and a twenty make-weights ?
