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:
6. Ezra Mam
Let me say straight up, Mam would be the number two option here if not for the fact I simply cannot see him signing for anywhere other than the Broncos.
I would not be shocked if his re-signing has been announced by the Broncos by the time this publishes, or very soon after.
The current Dally M five-eighth of the year has a monster career ahead of him after the mother of all breakout seasons in 2023.
Until Nathan Cleary's 20 minutes of immortality, Mam was the best player on the field in the Grand Final and was 90 seconds from a Clive Churchill.
I haven't heard him linked to signing anything other than a long, lucrative Brisbane contract. If he were to become available, I have no doubt six to eight clubs would be in the market immediately.
