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 Sharks have locked up their squad for 2024 with only two more spots left up for grabs.
That said, they are somewhat short for depth in the second row. While Briton Nikora and Teig Wilton will line up there to start games, the only other options in the squad are Siosifa Talakai (who will start at centre) and Jack Williams, who can also play in the middle third.
As it stands, an injury crisis of any significance would leave the likes of Cameron McInnes and Dale Finucane shifting onto the edge.
The Sharks have some other big calls to make, and their squad could yet shake up before 2024 rolls around, with speculation that Kayal Iro is less than impressed with his lack of first grade. If he stays in the Shire, he is relying on coach Craig Fitzgibbon to take a gamble and drop an established player to get any consistent minutes.
Braydon Trindall is likely to be thrust into the number six jumper in a halves combination alongside Nicho Hynes next season.
Hi,Hasn’t Kaeo Weekes signed with Canberra?
He’d have to be there first choice Fullback or 5/8th.
This signature is not yet official.
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?
