With rebel rugby competition R360 given the green light to commence in 2026, it has been widely reported that rugby league players have received official contract offers ahead of the inaugural season.
In the NRL, rival clubs can only approach players with a contract offer from November 1st of the year before their final contracted season.
However, considering R360 is a completely different entity, they can legally approach any player in the NRL, off-contract or not.
The competition is cashed up, with various financial backers from private investors in Europe and the United States, and has reportedly secured commitments from up to ten NRL players, offering contracts that are supposedly too good to refuse.
Who are the players, though?
No one knows for sure.
But, it's possible to make an educated guess, so here are the ten most likely players to have already signed for R360.
5Jaydn Su'A
One of the NRL's best second-rowers, Jaydn Su'A, is another name that has been strongly linked to R360.
Off-contract at the end of 2026, Su'A has an option in his favour for the 2027 season, but could opt for a change of scenery or an increased paycheck once his Dragons contract ends.
Like Haas, if Su'A did choose to leave for the rebel competition in 2027, he would face no sanctions from the NRL since there would be no breaking of any contractual obligations.
The 27-year-old has previously mentioned his preference is to stay with the Dragons, but if the club continues to miss the finals, Su'A will certainly consider the idea of a code-switch.
