Players off-contract at the end of 2022 have been able to negotiate for three months as we hit the end of January, and already plenty of big names have re-signed or moved clubs.

The Dolphins have thrown a new air of intrigue over this yearโ€™s off-contract player list, with the expansion club adding six players to their top 30 roster for 2023, including five with first-grade experience.

The Melbourne Storm have been hit hard, losing Jesse Bromwich and Felise Kaufusi to the new club, while Brandon Smith was the most publicised signature of the off-season so far before agreeing to join with the Sydney Roosters for 2023.

Itโ€™s been a revolving door at dummy half, with Reed Mahoney going from the Eels to the Bulldogs, Josh Hodgson from the Raiders to the Eels, and Apisai Koroisau from the Panthers to the Tigers.

Junior Paulo and Clinton Gutherson agreed to remain with the Eels after plenty of speculation, but as it stands, there are still over 100 players without a home locked away for 2023.

Today, we build a 17-man team of those players, noting that we have only considered each player for one position.

FULL OFF-CONTRACT LIST FOR 2023 TEAM-BY-TEAM

3. Centres

Players still off-contract: Zane Bijorac, Jack Bird, Herbie Farnworth, Mawene Hiroti, Delouise Hoeter, Reece Hoffman, George Jennings, Robert Jennings, William Kei, Connelly Lemuelu, Esan Marsters, Steven Marsters, Taylan May, Taane Milne, Tautau Moga, Brayden Musgrove, Tom Opacic, Tommy Talau, Isaiah Tass, Tyreece Woods

There is stacks of talent coming off contract at the end of next year in the centres, with some versatile players among the group.

Expect some of the young guns on this list to be locked up first, with clubs likely to hand priority to them.

Players like Taylan May - who is set to replace the departed Paul Momirovski at the Penrith Panthers, and Isaiah Tass, who is yet to debut but could do so this year, will be in hot demand.

Reece Hoffman has recently signed with the Canterbury Bulldogs and is another talented prospect, while South Sydney will be desperate to lock down Zane Bijorac.

There are two names on this list which stand out though, with Jack Bird and Herbie Farnworth seemingly ahead of the rest.

Bird had a strong season at the Dragons in 2021, and has the ability to play centre, fullback, halves, second-row or lock, while Farnworth could shift to fullback if need be.

The rumour mill surrounding Bird has been quiet, however, Farnworth has been recently linked with the Dolphins.
