30 off-contract NRL players still on hunt for 2017 deals

MORE than 30 leading NRL players remain without a contract for next season as the game braces itself for another off-season of unprecedented player transfers.

The finals may have started, but the player market refuses to rest with some of the game’s biggest names still searching for new clubs.

This movement is set to ramp up in the coming weeks as players finalise their futures.

Are any of these players worth a cheapy deal?

The only one I'd really like there is Elijah Taylor but apparently he's about to re-sign.

  • btw I removed the our players from the list.

  • Matagi would be good as well but I'm sure Penrith will keep him.
    • Yes he would!
  • Pretty bad bunch to pick from.

    Theres one thats still on contract but he's been given permission to move on and have a chat with anybody who might be interested ;)

    • Hoffman?
    • Let's hope so
  • THE Hoff

  • Breaking now on 9, the hoff is coming.

  • Rumor has it the dogs have passed on Idris and the tigers are keen on him.
  • Degas done nothing wrong but to become a real threat number 9 gotta have great vision n a good kicking. They hard to find though. Agree than some number 7's (Robson) would make easy tradition to the 9.
