It's November 1st! It's officially NRL's silly season!
When the clock ticked over into the new month, literally tens of millions of dollars of NRL talent became off contract for 2025.
This means that the NRL vultures are circling as these superstars become fair game.
Player agents mobiles will be ringing off the hook today as struggling sides, and sides looking for the final piece alike, try to get their grubby hands on prize assets from all round the competition.
Narrowing it down to just ten was very difficult.
The below are the top ten players I believe would be in demand as of right now.
Not necessarily the best. For instance Shaun Johnson is coming off a 10/10 season. There's also no chance he leaves the Warriors.
Taken into account are players ages, their expected salary, their role, talent and potential availability.
With that said, below are the top 10, in demand and off-contract stars right now:
8. Max King
Every club needs a Max King. A player who can just go about his job, well, with a minimal of fuss.
Competitions are won with players like Max King holding up positions to support the superstars. I'd also argue that he needs a move away from the Dogs to make the most of his talents.
King, at 26, will be the apple of many teams eyes as they chase him at either lock or at prop.
Canberra are losing a mountain of size and experience at years end, while the Sharks need an aggressive middle. The Dragons and Dolphins will be in here also.
