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.
16. The Dolphins: More signings for 2024
The Dolphins 2023 campaign will be an intriguing one to follow. Most players they have signed are on two-year contracts, and the roster is something well short of what they may have been hoping it would have been at one stage.
Despite that, the Dolphins, particularly under the coaching team of Wayne Bennett and Kristian Woolf, are likely to be far more competitive than the majority have given them credit for during their inaugural campaign.
That said, signings for 2024 will still be a high priority for the Redcliffe-based outfit, and something they would love to be doing early in the New Year once the collective bargaining agreement is locked in.
