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.

2. Selwyn Cobbo (The Dolphins)

The Selwyn Cobbo story has been one of the more intriguing ones around the competition in the last year or so.

An outside back with the ability to play fullback, wing or centre, Cobbo, at his absolute best, is just about a walk-up representative starter.

He is still young too. The upside on his signature is absolutely tremendous, if you can get his potential out of him.

Unfortunately for Cobbo, that has been the biggest if in recent times, and ultimately saw him leave the Broncos for the Dolphins on what is a one-year deal that frankly looks like a career lifeline.

Whether he is interested in leaving Queensland is also up for debate, but at this stage of his career, we are certainly well removed from the seven figures that were at one point seemingly going to be put on the table by a number of clubs.

Despite all the issues surrounding Cobbo in recent times, he looks in good shape at the Dolphins and will quickly add to his value if he puts in strong weekly performances this year.

He is one plenty of clubs should be looking at.
