Now being in late July it isn't strange to see most of the big names signed to clubs for next season. That said a few stars, or potential stars, remain unsigned for 2019 and beyond.
Below are the top 10 names still off-contract. For this I have left names like Smith, Gallen and Farah off. These players will either retire or re-sign for their club and aren't really considered for moving clubs. The below also takes into account only official announcements and not 'mail' from 'those in the know'.
Please let us know who you believe is the number one off contract player in the comments below.
1. Corey Oates
The biggest piece of the recruitment puzzle is Broncos winger Corey Oates. As mentioned before he has stated his intention to move into the second row. Given the ridiculous amount of talent in the forwards at the Broncos that just may not happen in Brisbane.
The Tigers, Dogs and Eels are all surely on the look out for a big, fast and talented second rower. The Sharks need a replacement for Lewis. The Broncos will not want to lose him. Expect this chase to heat up massively over the next few weeks. Whether it be on the wing or in the second row, this could be the most important contract of his career. Huge!
