Christmas is here, and for a brief moment, the NRL world will slow down to take in the holiday period and festive season.
But with salary cap and collective bargaining agreement discussions continuing, clubs still not having full rosters for the 2023 campaign, and over 190 players remaining off-contract at the end of the season ahead, it won't stay slow for long.
Teams will be back training and making final preparations for the new season before long, and every club in the competition needs a visit from the big guy in the red suit this morning to deliver a shower of magic for the new season.
Here is what your club needs for 2023.
On behalf of the entire Zero Tackle team, I'd like to wish all our readers a very merry Christmas and safe holiday season for you and your family.
11. Parramatta Eels: Mitchell Moses to re-sign
The Eels have one major re-signing already in the bag, with Dylan Brown committing to the club on a new long-term deal.
There is still one big one to go though, with Mitchell Moses being chased from left, right and centre, and yet to agree on his future with the men in blue and gold.
The beating heart of the club, Moses went through the ringer during the 2022 campaign to stay on the field at times, and his form was the best it has potentially ever been.
If he stays at that level, then the Eels will go close to another trip to the big dance - but they don't want 2023 to be the last time Moses is the one guiding them through the campaign.
