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:
3. Bradman Best
2023 was the year where Bradman Best well and truly delivered on his undoubted promise.
He broke through to Origin after breaking the hearts and spirits of opposition centres, and their fans.
The timing is perfect as Best enters his prime. At 22 year's of age, he surely has his very best footy ahead of him.
It would be quicker to name the teams who wouldn't welcome a player of his talents, age and value. Come to think of it, it's tough to name any.
