The 2023 season might be gearing up for the finals, but in the ever-changing world of the NRL transfer market, attention is already shifting to 2024 and beyond.

Every NRL side has less than ten spots available in their Top 30 for next season, while a select handful of clubs are closing in on a full complement already.

Zero Tackle have compiled the current status of every NRL club for 2024, with signings, losses, players still off-contract, full squads, best 17, and an overview of what every club still needs to be successful come next season.

You can use our easy dropdown menu below to navigate between each club, and we will update this every time there is a signing or player movement for next year so that you can keep on top of how your club is shaping up for next season.

What they still need

The Eels have just one spot left for 2024.

An extra depth option in the second row wouldn't go astray, and neither would one at prop, where Junior Paulo and Reagan Campbell-Gillard do an excellent job leading the way. It's depth there that is the issue for the blue and gold.

Elsewhere, the side is relatively settled, and it's unsurprising the Eels have been relatively quiet when it comes to clubs being linked in pursuit of off-contract players. There were talks earlier this year that Brad Arthur's side would chase an X-Factor-style backline player - think someone like Jayden Campbell - but that has ultimately come to nothing at this stage.

The Eels have a handful of development players they may think about upgrading for next season as well with their remaining spots, particularly given the salary cap is stretched.

Toni Mataele and Blaize Talagi are local juniors who both come with big raps, while Zac Cini has first-grade experience and will be on the lookout for another opportunity.

  2. Sharks: New signings NIL. Roster spots available NIL.
    Don’t expect any improvement this year if Craig Fitzgibbon does not give game-time to the players the club has been developing.
    If he thinks that they are never going to be better than NSW Cup, why has he re-signed them?
