November 1 has come and gone, and that means in contract terms, the new year has begun for over 500 NRL players.
It also means clubs have begun to get their houses in order with pre-season kicking off.
Despite a number of players never being announced as new signings, re-signings or releases, there is plenty that can be worked out from the player profile sections of all of the club websites.
While we at Zero Tackle aren't claiming these to be gospel given club websites are notorious for having plenty of players not listed, or other errors, here is what can currently be picked up about every club in the competition without official announcements being made otherwise.
Use the drop down below to navigate from club to club.
The Broncos appear to have quietly made a number of re-signings for the 2025 campaign that are yet to be announced. All of Delouise Hoeter, Josiah Karapani and Josh Rogers are listed among the updated player profiles despite having their contracts run out at the end of 2024 according to official announcements.
Should the trio have re-signed, it means the Broncos have 29 signed players for 2025 and only one spot left on their roster.
Confirmed roster: Jesse Arthars, Fletcher Baker, Coby Black, Patrick Carrigan, Selwyn Cobbo, Jack Gosiewski, Payne Haas, Kobe Hetherington, Jaiyden Hunt, Corey Jensen, Israel Leota, Jock Madden, Ezra Mam, Deine Mariner, Blake Mozer, Cory Paix, Brendan Piakura, Adam Reynolds, Jordan Riki, Tyson Smoothy, Kotoni Staggs, Martin Taupau, Benjamin Te Kura, Reece Walsh, Billy Walters, Xavier Willison
Suggested signings per club website: Delouise Hoeter, Josiah Karapani, Josh Rogers
The Raiders appear to be almost set in stone and up to date with contract announcements for 2025. The club confirmed on Tuesday that Jordan Martin has been signed for 2025 meaning the list of officially announced deals is in line with what is listed on the club's website.
Josh Papalii appears now certain to have picked up a player option that was in his contract for 2025 as well after teammate Joseph Tapine previously told Zero Tackle that was indeed the case.
As it stands, the Raiders have 29 players listed and only a single spot left.
Confirmed roster: Michael Asomua, Jamal Fogarty, Emre Guler, Corey Harawira-Naera, Albert Hopoate, Corey Horsburgh, Zac Hosking, Sebastian Kris, Danny Levi, Ata Mariota, Myles Martin, Trey Mooney, Matty Nicholson, Josh Papalii, Vena Patuki-Case, Ethan Sanders, Simi Sasagi, Pasami Saulo, Xavier Savage, Morgan Smithies, Tom Starling, Chevy Stewart, Ethan Strange, Savelio Tamale, Joseph Tapine, Matthew Timoko, Kaeo Weekes, Hudson Young
Suggested signings per club website: Nil
The Bulldogs have signed Enari Tuala on Tuesday and he has now been added to the club's roster. The club are also yet to list Tom Amone who has been confirmed to join the club for 2025.
The club have also added young forwards Harry Hayes and Jack Todd to their player profile page. No official announcement has been made about either player.
The other major factor to note regarding Canterbury is regarding Daniel Suluka-Fifita, who has been listed on the South Sydney Rabbitohs' website. The Bulldogs have signed him on a two-year deal, but he is also listed on the Rabbitohs website, which is seemingly not updated.
If the duo of Hayes and Todd have signed Top 30 deals, then the Bulldogs have a completely full roster for 2025. Otherwise, there are currently 28 players signed pending the release of Daniel Suluka-Fifita.
Confirmed roster: Tom Amone, Matt Burton, Stephen Crichton, Josh Curran, Bailey Hayward, Samuel Hughes, Drew Hutchison, Kitione Kautoga, Viliame Kikau, Max King, Jacob Kiraz, Reed Mahoney, Kurt Mann, Marcelo Montoya, Kurtis Morrin, Karl Oloapu, Jacob Preston, Jaeman Salmon, Toby Sexton, Daniel Suluka-Fifita, Ryan Sutton, Blake Taaffe, Connor Tracey, Enari Tuala, Sitili Tupouniua, Jake Turpin, Blake Wilson, Mitchell Woods, Bronson Xerri
Suggested signings per club website: Harry Hayes, Jack Todd
The Sharks appear to have upgraded Liam Ison to a full time deal, with the young fullback sitting among their 29 listed players.
He is the only player who has a different status on the Sharks' website against what has been officially announced, with the club having either one or two roster spots available for 2025.
Confirmed roster: Daniel Atkinson, Jayden Berrell, Blayke Brailey, Billy Burns, Jesse Colquhoun, Kade Dykes, Addin Fonua-Blake, Michael Gabrael, Braden Hamlin-Uele, Tuku Hau Tapuha, Thomas Hazelton, Mawene Hiroti, Nicho Hynes, Kayal Iro, Sione Katoa, Oregon Kaufusi, William Kennedy, Cameron McInnes, Ronaldo Mulitalo, Briton Nikora, Hohepa Puru, Niwhai Puru, Jesse Ramien, Toby Rudolf, Sam Stonestreet, Siosifa Talakai, Braydon Trindall, Teig Wilton
Suggested signings per club website: Liam Ison
The Titans appear to have signed young five-eighth Ryder Williams after he played in the Mal Meninga Cup final with the Tweed Heads Seagulls last year.
It also appears winger Jaylan De Groot has taken up his option to remain with the club in 2025.
The Titans currently have 25 contracts locked in, while the duo listed would take them to 27. They have at least three spots left for 2025 either way and could yet look at promotions for the likes of Tukimihia Simpkins or Arama Hau who are on their development list.
Confirmed roster: AJ Brimson, Jayden Campbell, Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, Beau Fermor, David Fifita, Jojo Fifita, Kieran Foran, Ryan Foran, Moeaki Fotuaika, Tony Francis, Carter Gordon, Klese Haas, Jaimin Jolliffe, Brian Kelly, Alofiana Khan-Pereira, Keano Kini, Ben Liyou, Ken Maumalo, Josiah Pahulu, Chris Randall, Phillip Sami, Harley Smith-Shields, Sam Verrills
Suggested signings per club website: Jaylan De Groot (option taken), Ryder Williams
There is plenty going on at the Sea Eagles. Jaxson Paulo and Matthew Lodge have been removed from their team profile pages, and on Tuesday morning were officially farewelled by the club.
Paulo joined Manly ahead of the 2024 season on a three-year deal, but struggled to play consistent first grade and it was reported recently that he would head north to Townsville, while young forward D'Jazirhae Pua'Avase would head the other way. He has not been added to the Manly website as yet.
Elsewhere at the Sea Eagles, Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega's profile is included so it appears he has re-signed. Manly's other confirmed development players Caleb Navale and Lehi Hopoate are not listed on the club website.
Siosiua Taukeiaho is also yet to be listed on the club website.
With 25 official announced contracts (which is a number that includes the exits of Lodge and Paulo), and 27 should the signings of Walsh and Tuaimalo Vaega prove correct, Manly have at least three spots open on their 2025 roster.
Confirmed roster: Josh Aloiai, Jake Arthur, Luke Brooks, Nathan Brown, Ethan Bullemor, Gordon Chan Kum Tong, Daly Cherry-Evans, Lachlan Croker, Clayton Faulalo, Reuben Garrick, Aitasi James, Tolutau Koula, Dean Matterson, Haumole Olakau'atu, Taniela Paseka, Jason Saab, Aaron Schoupp, Jake Simpkin, Toafofoa Sipley, Tommy Talau, Siosiua Taukeiaho, Jazz Tevaga, Ben Trbojevic, Jake Trbojevic, Tom Trbojevic, Joey Walsh
Suggested signings per club website: Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega
It's a simple case of re-signings for the Storm, with the club keeping profiles active for Dean Ieremia, Ativalu Lisati and Marion Seve heading into the 2025 pre-season. All three were, officially at least, off-contract at the end of 2024.
There are no other differences between what has been officially announced and what has been updated on the club's website in Melbourne, with Stefano Utoikamanu the only addition for 2025 from outside of the club.
The Storm currently have 24 confirmed contracts, with that number going to 27 should the three aforementioned signings prove correct.
Confirmed roster: Grant Anderson, Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Shawn Blore, Joe Chan, Xavier Coates, Sua Fa'alogo, Bronson Garlick, Harry Grant, Jack Howarth, Jahrome Hughes, Tui Kamikamica, Eliesa Katoa, Josh King, Trent Loiero, Alec MacDonald, Nick Meaney, Cameron Munster, Ryan Papenhuyzen, Jonah Pezet, Stefano Utoikamanu, Lazarus Vaalepu, Will Warbrick, Christian Welch, Tyran Wishart
Suggested signings per club website: Dean Ieremia, Ativalu Lisati, Marion Seve
The Knights list of players currently stands at 30 compared to the 27 officially announced contracts.
Despite never making a public confirmation, both hooker Matt Arthur from the Parramatta Eels and outside back James Schiller from the Canberra Raiders have been added to the club's list of profiles.
Tyson Frizell also appears to have taken up his option, which rounds out their Top 30.
Francis Manuleleua is not listed on the club's website despite earlier being announced as a signing to their Top 30, while Connor Votano and Kyle McCarthy are also listed but are believed to be on development deals.
Either way, the Knights top 30 is full for 2025.
Confirmed roster: Taj Annan, Bradman Best, Jayden Brailey, Paul Bryan, Thomas Cant, Jack Cogger, Mat Croker, Phoenix Crossland, Adam Elliott, Dane Gagai, Tyson Gamble, Jackson Hastings, Jack Hetherington, Cody Hopwood, Brodie Jones, Riley Jones, Dylan Lucas, Francis Manuleleua, Greg Marzhew, Jermaine McEwen, Kai Pearce-Paul, Kalyn Ponga, Will Pryce, Jacob Saifiti, Fletcher Sharpe, Sebastian Su'a, Leo Thompson
Suggested signings per club website: Matt Arthur, Tyson Frizell (option taken), James Schiller
The big news out of the Warriors is speculation regarding Tanah Boyd only being on a development deal. It was rumoured after his release from the Gold Coast Titans, and he has now missed the club's website update which only adds fuel to the fire.
The halfback was on a Top 30 deal during his time on the Gold Coast.
Motu Pasikala is also missing from the club website.
The Warriors have 30 confirmed contracts should the duo be on Top 30 deals, but otherwise may have two roster spots remaining to be filled for 2025.
Confirmed roster: Bunty Afoa, Tom Ale, Mitchell Barnett, Rocco Berry, Tanah Boyd, Kurt Capewell, Erin Clark, Wayde Egan, James Fisher-Harris, Jackson Ford, Leka Halasima, Tohu Harris, Chanel Harris-Tavita, Samuel Healey, Edward Kosi, Jacob Laban, Ali Leiataua, Freddy Lussick, Zyon Maiu'u, Te Maire Martin, Luke Metcalf, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Marata Niukore, Motu Pasikala, Adam Pompey, Demitric Sifakula, Taine Tuaupiki, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Dylan Walker, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
Suggested signings per club website: Nil
Tanah Boyd and Motu Pasikala were previously announced as signings but do not have profiles available.
Jaxson Paulo has now officially signed with the Cowboys. D'Jazirhae Pua'avase was also rumoured to be heading to Manly, but is still included on the Cowboys' website for the time being.
The Cowboys are also yet to add Kai O'Donnell and Jamal Shibasaki to their list of profiles despite being signed officially.
Should the player swap prove correct, and O'Donnell's signing as previously confirmed be added, the Cowboys have three spots available.
Confirmed roster: Braidon Burns, Tom Chester, Jake Clifford, Reuben Cotter, Tom Dearden, Robert Derby, Scott Drinkwater, Tom Duffy, Harrison Edwards, Coen Hess, Kaiden Lahrs, Karl Lawton, Zac Laybutt, Heilum Luki, Sam McIntyre, Thomas Mikaele, Jeremiah Nanai, Griffin Neame, Kai O'Donnell, Jaxson Paulo, D'Jazirhae Pua'Avase, Jaxon Purdue, Reece Robson, Jamal Shibasaki, Murray Taulagi, Jason Taumalolo, Viliami Vailea, Semi Valemei
Suggested signings per club website: Nil
Kai O'Donnell and Jamal Shibasaki have been officially signed but are not yet on the club's website.
New signings Joash Papalii, Jack Williams, Isaiah Iongi, Zac Lomax and Jordan Samrani have now all officially joined the Eels. Samrani's profile, at this stage, is missing from the club website.
The other news that can now seemingly be confirmed is Haze Dunster taking up his player option to remain in blue and gold for 2025.
The club have 26 contracted players, and four roster spots remain open for the beginning of Jason Ryles' rebuild.
Confirmed roster: Dylan Brown, Bryce Cartwright, Matt Doorey, Haze Dunster, Wiremu Greig, Brendan Hands, Dean Hawkins, J'maine Hopgood, Isaiah Iongi, Shaun Lane, Zac Lomax, Joey Lussick, Toni Mataele, Ryan Matterson, Luca Moretti, Mitchell Moses, Joe Ofahengaue, Joash Papalii, Junior Paulo, Will Penisini, Sean Russell, Jordan Samrani, Bailey Simonsson, Kelma Tuilagi, Sam Tuivaiti, Jack Williams
Suggested signings per club website: Nil
Jordan Samrani has signed but is not yet added to the club website.
The only difference between officially announced contracts and the club website for the Panthers is the apparent re-signing of Matthew Eisenhuth.
The lock forward was believed to be close to a deal some time ago, having been off-contract at the foot of the mountains at the end of 2024.
That would give the Panthers 29 contracted players for 2025, and only one spot left available.
Confirmed roster: Paul Alamoti, Nathan Cleary, Jack Cole, Dylan Edwards, Luke Garner, Mavrik Geyer, Harrison Hassett, Liam Henry, Mitch Kenny, Asu Kepaoa, Daine Laurie, Moses Leota, Soni Luke, Liam Martin, Casey McLean, Jesse McLean, Isaiah Papali'i, Luron Patea, Riley Price, Preston Riki, Brad Schneider, Lindsay Smith, Luke Sommerton, Scott Sorensen, Izack Tago, Blaize Talagi, Brian To'o, Isaah Yeo
Suggested signings per club website: Matthew Eisenhuth
The Rabbitohs currently have 42 players listed on their website, but are yet to remove the end of year departures.
All of Michael Chee-Kam, Dean Hawkins, Richie Kennar, Izaac Thompson, Leon Te Hau, Jacob Gagai, Damien Cook and Thomas Burgess have been confirmed as departures, while a host of other players listed - Adam Christensen, Chase Chapman, Liam Le Blanc, Matt French, Brock Gray (train and trial at the Gold Coast Titans), Bayleigh Bentley-Hape, Gehamat Shibasaki, Fletcher Myers, Taane Milne, Leonard Skelton, Izaac Thompson and Dion Teaupa - do not have contracts.
That takes their list back to just 22 players, with Lewis Dodd, Euan Aitken, Jamie Humphreys, Lachlan Hubner, Haizyn Mellars and Josh Schuster all contracted for 2025 but not listed on the website.
The other surprise is Daniel Suluka-Fifita being listed. He played for the Rabbitohs in 2023, so it's unclear at this stage whether this is a mistake, or whether he has left the Bulldogs.
Confirmed roster: Euan Aitken, Jai Arrow, Lewis Dodd, Tallis Duncan, Thomas Fletcher, Campbell Graham, Jye Gray, Siliva Havili, Jacob Host, Lachlan Hubner, Jamie Humphreys, Lachlan Ilias, Alex Johnston, Sean Keppie, Keaon Koloamatangi, Ben Lovett, Peter Mamouzelos, Haizyn Mellars, Latrell Mitchell, Shaquai Mitchell, Davvy Moale, Tyrone Munro, Cameron Murray, Josh Schuster, Isaiah Tass, Tevita Tatola, Cody Walker, Jack Wighton
Suggested signings per club website: Daniel Suluka-Fifita
The Dragons have made three new signings, with Clint Gutherson and Damien Cook added to the club's player profiles, while Valentine Holmes is still yet to be added.
Finau Latu is another listed on the club's website and may be making the step up to the Top 30 this year after making his reserve grade debut in the final round of 2024.
Youngster Jacob Halangahu is due to step up to Top 30 deals this year, although is yet to join the club's profiles, even though another two players in the same position - Loko Pasifiki Tonga and Hamish Stewart - have already done so.
The Dragons should have three spots left for 2025.
Confirmed roster: Corey Allan, Damien Cook, Ryan Couchman, Toby Couchman, Jack de Belin, Dylan Egan, Raymond Faitala-Mariner, Mathew Feagai, Viliami Fifita, Sione Finau, Kyle Flanagan, Clint Gutherson, Jacob Halangahu, Valentine Holmes, Blake Lawrie, Luciano Leilua, Jacob Liddle, Francis Molo, Michael Molo, Loko Pasifiki Tonga, Mikaele Ravalawa, Hame Sele, Tyrell Sloan, Hamish Stewart, Jaydn Su'A, Moses Suli, Christian Tuipulotu
Suggested signings per club website: Finau Latu
Jacob Halangahu is contracted but not listed on club website.
The Roosters have more work left to do on their roster for 2025 than any other club with only 23 contracts locked down.
Blake Steep appears to have been promoted to a Top 30 deal though ensuring the Roosters meet the NRL's minimum requirement of having 24 players in their Top 30 on November 1.
It leaves the tri-colours with six spots available despite pre-season training already kicking off around the competition.
They could promote some of their younger cohort, with Ethan Roberts and Toby Rodwell both listed but likely development, while Xavier Va'a is in a similar boat on a confirmed development deal for 2025.
Confirmed roster: Egan Butcher, Nat Butcher, Lindsay Collins, Angus Crichton, Spencer Leniu, Terrell May, Tyler Moriarty, Mark Nawaqanitawase, Junior Pauga, Victor Radley, Billy Smith, Brandon Smith, Sandon Smith, James Tedesco, Robert Toia, Chad Townsend, Daniel Tupou, De La Salle Va'a, Sam Walker, Connor Watson, Naufahu Whyte, Siua Wong, Dominic Young
Suggested signings per club website: Blake Steep
The Tigers have 29 contracted players for 2024, and their club website's list matches exactly what has been announced at this stage.
There are no additional signings or likely departures. John Bateman has been linked with an exit and was cited as removed from the club's website by our team at one point over the weekend, but has since been re-added.
Despite only having a single spot available on their 2025 roster, the Tigers have added plenty of key names heading into the new campaign, with Jack Bird, Royce Hunt, Jarome Luai, Jeral Skelton and Sunia Turuva all making the switch to Concord.
Confirmed roster: John Bateman, Jack Bird, Jahream Bula, Tallyn Da Silva, Adam Doueihi, Latu Fainu, Samuela Fainu, Josh Feledy, Lachlan Galvin, Royce Hunt, David Klemmer, Apisai Koroisau, Kit Laulilii, Luke Laulilii, Jarome Luai, Justin Matamua, Brent Naden, Justin Olam, Fonua Pole, Solomone Saukuru, Alex Seyfarth, Jeral Skelton, Charlie Staines, Tony Sukkar, Jayden Sullivan, Starford To'a, Brandon Tumeth, Sunia Turuva, Alex Twal
Suggested signings per club website: Nil
Despite only having 25 announced contracts for 2025, the Dolphins have 29 players listed on the club's website and are likely almost at a full squad.
Alongside the confirmed signings of Junior Tupou, Max Feagai, Daniel Saifiti and Kulikefu Finefeuiaki for 2025, the club appear to have handed opportunities to young forwards James Walsh and Michael Waqa while Kurt Donoghoe has also been promoted into the Top 30.
Mason Teague is also listed, with his contract seemingly extended into 2025.
The Dolphins, as a result, have just one spot left in their Top 30 for 2025.
Confirmed roster: Jake Averillo, Jack Bostock, Kenneath Bromwich, Herbie Farnworth, Max Feagai, Kulikefu Finefeuiaki, Thomas Flegler, Trai Fuller, Tom Gilbert, Harrison Graham, Jamayne Isaako, Isaiya Katoa, Felise Kaufusi, Oryn Keeley, Josh Kerr, Connelly Lemuelu, Jeremy Marshall-King, Mark Nicholls, Kodi Nikorima, Sean O'Sullivan, Max Plath, Daniel Saifiti, Ray Stone, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Junior Tupou
Suggested signings per club website: Kurt Donoghoe, Mason Teague, James Walsh, Michael Waqa
