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.

Watson was set to be an important figure off the bench again for the Roosters this year, but has unfortunately failed to take to the field as he sits out with a knee injury.
With every passing week, it appears more and more likely that his season is over, but that hasn't stopped reports of multiple clubs showing interest in the former Knight.
While the Canterbury Bulldogs, through Phil Gould, were keen, they have since dropped out of a race that still features the Roosters and Wests Tigers, among other clubs.
Able to play just about anywhere on the park, he will be a handy pick up if he can get back to his best.
