The end of the 2023 season is approaching, and so is the November 1 deadline when players off-contract at the end of 2024 will be able to sign with rival clubs.

But for players still without a contract in 2024, it's scramble time.

Open spots on rosters are starting to dwindle, as are salary cap funds, although most teams still have at least a few, and in total, there are about 80 Top 30 spots available next season.

Zero Tackle have run the rule over every player who remains off contract for the 2024 season and come up with the best of the group still to be signed.

4. Paul Alamoti (Canterbury Bulldogs

Maybe the most talented youngster on this list, Alamoti is still without a contract for 2024.

It's unclear at this stage whether the Bulldogs will make a play to re-sign him or not, however, the local junior should be doing anything other than following Jake Averillo out the door.

As much as the Bulldogs had to shed one of the duo for squad balance reasons, Averillo has signed with the Dolphins and that should allow Alamoti to retain his centre jersey at Belmore next year.

It was believed the Cowboys were set to make a significant play for Alamoti, but bowed out of the race upon learning that, one way or another, he wanted to remain in Sydney.
