With Round 1 of the 2026 NRL season fast approaching, clubs are scrambling to finalise their squads.
While most players are locked in for the foreseeable future, there are a handful who could still be on the move before the June 30 deadline as clubs try to manage their salary cap while ensuring their roster has enough strength across the board.
As for the players themselves, a move before or during the season can be make-or-break.
Whether it be free agents, players on expiring contracts or those who have fallen out of favour at their current club, moving to the right club provides the opportunity to secure their future in the league.
It should be noted that for Dragons, Roosters and Storm fans, the immediate releases of Keaon Koloamatangi, Reuben Garrick and Oryn Keeley seem extremely unlikely, so they haven't been included.
Instead, these are the eight players who could find new clubs before the June 30 deadline.
Blake Lawrie
The Dragons have been trying to offload Blake Lawrie for months.
As reported by Danny Weidler and Michael Chammas in August, the club have been trying to get Lawrie's $600,000 a year deal off their books to free up space for a marquee signing.
However, no club has yet to show interest in the 29-year-old.
For the Dragons, it is wasted money.
If the squad is at full strength, Lawrie doesn't make it anywhere near the starting side, only finding himself on the bench due to injuries or suspensions.
So, if another team comes calling for Lawrie, don't expect any resistance from the Saints.

I think age has caught up with Raymond F-M
He was selected for the Dragons in only a handful of games last season.
I suspect that with Jack de Belin going and freeing up a spot, St George would not have released Ray unless they felt his days were done.
