Adam Reynolds, Ezra Mam, Billy Walters, Jordan Riki, Kurt Capewell, Martin Taupau, Brendan Piakura, and Corey Oates are all free agents.
Mam, the hero of the grand final, is a key priority, but the Broncos are optimistic he will accept terms. There will be a one-year extension signed by Captain Reynolds. After 2024, Brisbane will probably lose one of its three back-row players—Capewell, Riki, and Piakura.
CANBERRA
Free agents: Ata Mariota, Elliott Whitehead, Har
ley Smith-Shields, Jamal Fogarty, Josh Papalii, James Schiller, Jordan Rapana, Nick Cotric, Pasami Saulo, Peter Hola, Trey Mooney, Zac Woolford.
The player at the top of the list, Papalii, has a mutual option with the club to extend until 2025, therefore the prop should be kept. As the Raiders search for halfback options, young hooker Woolford should be given priority, and Rapana and Whitehead will probably need to make a decision about whether or not to continue playing
CANTERBURY
Hayze Perham, Jackson Topine, Max King, Liam Knight, Reece Hoffman, and Toby Sexton are free agents.

GOLD COAST
Treymain Spry, Joe Stimson, Kieran Foran, Klese Haas, Tom Weaver, and Isaac Liu are free agents.
The return of veteran Foran to former coach Des Hasler for the upcoming campaign may serve as the impetus for the playmaker to receive another season. The Titans must choose if Half Weaver, a local youngster who the team regards highly, is worth supporting in the long run.
MANLY
Ben Trbojevic, Christian Tuipulotu, Karl Lawton, Ray Tuaimalo Vega, Corey Waddell, and Zac Fulton are free agents.

MELBOURNE
Nick Meaney, Reimis Smith, Marion Seve, and Aaron Pene are free agents.
In Ryan Papenhuyzen’s absence, Meaney has excelled at fullback and is expected to sign a new contract. The Storm has to decide if Smith or Seve is the better option now that Justin Olam is out of the picture. The team struggled offensively in the centres this season.

PARRAMATTA
Morgan Harper, Jirah Momoisea, Bailey Simonsson, Daejarn Asi, and Makahesi Makatoa are free agents.
The Eels may focus on the open market because no elite player is out of contract. They’ve been wanting to entice a quality fullback or outside back for a while now, and the best candidates are Bradman Best, Nick Meaney, and Joey Manu.
PENRITH

Take on the toughest task of any team in order to retain outstanding five-eighth Luai. With opponents set to give him more than $1.1 million and the Panthers only able to pay $850,000, Luai has acknowledged that he must choose between money and greater achievement. Penrith needs to decide on their long-term backline as well because May and Turuva are both out.

WARRIORS
Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Luke Metcalf, Freddy Lussick, Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris, Taine Tuaupiki, Jackson Ford, Rocco Berry, and Jazz Tevaga are all free agents.
The Warriors should try to re-sign Winger Watene-Zelezniak, who had a career-best season, and five-eighth Metcalf, who is expected to get a lot of attention after playing well with Shaun Johnson. Despite being 31 years old, War Horse captain Harris was among the NRL’s top forwards in 2023.
