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:
4. Tom Dearden
Tom Dearden is in a fantastic spot right now. The Cowboys, are not.
Both the North Queensland halves are off contract. Dearden is younger, and with the greatest of respects, more sought after, than his partner in Chad Townsend.
He could realistically name his price or the Cowboys will have to start again.
There are a number of Sydney clubs linked to his services, while I believe Canberra would be monitoring very closely.
