The second the clock ticks over into November, a host of NRL talent come off-contract for 2023 and beyond.
With the Dolphins entering the competition in 2023, this will most certainly be the craziest signing period we've seen since the last time the NRL expanded, way back in 2007.
Most players won't be ready to make deals on the first day of November. It's massively unlikely for big deals to happen right away, and with the addition of the Dolphins, I suspect player agents will be advising players to wait and speak to everyone.
That said, there are a few players who will be inundated with offers the literal second the page in that calendar is turned.
We take a look at the top ten players who can, and probably will, cause a chaotic scramble for their services.
8. Ryan Matterson (Parramatta Eels)
It looks as though Ryan Matterson has finally found his long-term home at NRL level in the Eels.
That said, he's shown before that he's willing to move to either back himself or to maximise his earning potential.
The Eels are facing a salary cap squeeze. They have two superstar second-rowers off contract as well as Dylan Brown to re-sign.
Second-row
Tackles Made
Tries
Tackle Breaks
That brings a plethora of teams into the equation. The Titans will be looking to replace Proctor soon, while the Sharks have decisions to make with regards to Wade Graham.
He would walk into the Warriors, Tigers, Cowboys or Dragons sides, while you have to know the Dolphins would love to run out with him in their side for 2023.
