More than four months removed from November 1, there are still 136 NRL currently Top 30 contracted NRL players without a club to call home for 2027.

The Perth Bears still have more than half of their inaugural Top 30 to fill, and most clubs are in need of players, whether re-signed or otherwise, to complete their look and feel for 2027.

When you run the rule over the list of players who remain off-contract at the end of 2026, there is still a mountain of talent available.

Taking into account the likely value to a rival club - age, talent and potential included (for example, Cody Walker has been left out as he approaches the end of his career) - here are the Top 20 players to remain without a contract for 2027.

Siua Wong was originally named in this list, however, it has since emerged he has re-signed with the Roosters during the off-season.

8. Jesse Ramien (Cronulla Sharks)

The third of four Sharks on this list, Ramien has already been linked with rival clubs, and it would appear he is destined to depart Cronulla at the end of 2025.

A powerful, aggressive centre, Ramien has had some issues with ball handling and defence which haven't quite been ironed out in the Shire.

Despite his skill, he maybe hasn't found his potential for the black, white and blue, and it could well be the best thing for his career to find a new home, and to look for a refresh of his skillset.

It's understood he has already been linked with the Cowboys, with the Dubbo-born centre - who has often been talked about as a potential Origin player - still having plenty to offer at 28 years of age with 171 games under his belt.

What is likely clear is that it won't be at the Sharks, with Craig Fitzgibbon probably more interested in finding Michael Gabrael game time next year.
