Rugby league fans, it has arrived. NRL silly season!

November 1. The day where players all across the country (and New Zealand) become "free agents" so to speak.

Although we're yet to click over into 2026, players contracted until the end of the 2026 season are now fair game.

The introduction of the Perth Bears makes this the most exciting November 1 since since the Dolphins version.

Today we're discussing ten players we believe will be both in demand and have the potential to shift clubs for 2027 and beyond.

This isn't just a list of the ten biggest names off contract.

For example James Tedesco is off contract but I just never see him leaving Roosters for another NRL club.

Here are the top ten realistic targets come November first:

Honourable Mention: Lindsay Smith and Jaxon Perdue, I believe, will re-sign with their current clubs and aren't listened below

2. Keaon Koloamatangi

I originally didn't have the Souths, Blues and Kangaroos star on the list as I just assumed he'd re-sign for the Bunnies long-term.

Over the past 48 hours it has come to light that he intends to test the market. Not words Souths management or fans will want to hear.

Koloamatangi immediately becomes a target for the Sydney Roosters, Perth Bears and Melbourne Storm. The Titans will be cashed up while the Dragons will throw everything at him.

I honestly can't name a side in the competition who wouldn't be in for Koloamatangi, but he won't come cheap.

The Bunnies are going to have to move heaven and earth to convince their star middle that it's worth sticking around, because the calls will come thick and fast.
