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.

NRL Round 2, 2025: Parramatta Eels vs Wests Tigers

Zac Lomax has been at the centre of R360 speculation over the past few days after Braith Anasta claimed that Lomax is on the verge of signing for the new competition.

"I've been doing bit of digging around and talking to people, and I heard a rumour today that Zac Lomax is about to sign a deal with them (R360) and there is a big chance he's played his last game for Parramatta." Anasta said on NRL 360.

The rumours came as a huge shock to the rugby league community, with Lomax still having three years left on his deal with the Parramatta Eels.

Unlike others on this list, Lomax would have to break his Parramatta Eels contract to join R360 and would face heavy sanctions from the NRL for breaking his contract early.

At the Dally M awards last night, Lomax was rather coy over his future.

"I mean, I'm contracted at the Eels for another three years," he told reporters.

"I've loved my time there and I'm loving every second of it."

Lomax would stand to make at least double his current salary of $650,000 if he defected to the rebel rugby competition.

However, the origin winger is seemingly not one to care about the money, signing with the Eels on a deal worth $200,000 less than what the Dragons were offering per year.
