Where Now - off contract players?

[Graham]

According to Fox Sports NRL (Aus) there are 40 players with NRL experience who are currently without a contract for 2024, including some former Test and Origin stars.

There are still some high-profile players without a deal locked in for 2024 as clubs finalise their top 30 rosters.

Most according to FoxSportsNRL will have to take a pay cut to earn another deal while others won’t even be offered that and could be forced into retirement.

I wouldn't mind Connor Watson at Headingley, but he is surely too good not to get another NRL contract.

You could make a half decent team from that lot, so long as you remembered not to pick Blake or Wakeham.

Remember watching Charlie Staines debut 4 tries against Cronulla. Must have thought he had the world at his feet then stood down two days later for throwing a party and breaking covid rules.

Obviously hasn't worked out at Wests Tigers he was only there a year.
