Now being in late July it isn't strange to see most of the big names signed to clubs for next season. That said a few stars, or potential stars, remain unsigned for 2019 and beyond.

Below are the top 10 names still off-contract. For this I have left names like Smith, Gallen and Farah off. These players will either retire or re-sign for their club and aren't really considered for moving clubs. The below also takes into account only official announcements and not 'mail' from 'those in the know'.

Please let us know who you believe is the number one off contract player in the comments below.

9. Lachlan Coote

Another Premiership-winning Cowboy who is yet to extend his stay with the club. With rumours that Valentine Holmes is set to return home to Townsville, Coote may sign a one-year extension to hold the role he currently fills. He, like O'Neill, is not having the greatest of seasons but we all know what he can do. At only 28, Coote has much more to give.
