Every NRL player off-contract ahead of 2025 – and available for a Super League move

As the Super League and NRL seasons near a close, players off-contract at the end of the year are readying themselves for an off-season where they find a new club.

Therefore, clubs will be on red-alert for players that are off-contract at the end of the year, as they’re free to negotiate a potential signing of them.

Here’s the lowdown of every NRL player that is set to the free to find a new club.

Every NRL player off-contract ahead of 2025

Brisbane Broncos

Delouise Hoeter, Josiah Karapani, Corey Oates, Martin Taupau

Corey Oates is somewhat of a Broncos legend, and after over a decade, it seems he’s moving on to pastures new. Another name of note is Martin Taupau,  a prop who has been perennially linked with Leeds Rhinos over a number of years.

Canberra Raiders

Peter Hola, James Schiller,

Rapana has signed for Hull FC for next season but James Schiller may also be of interest to Super League clubs – the 23-year-old outside-back has a good try-scoring record in NSW Cup but has also scored 11 tries in 16 NRL games.

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs

Liam Knight, Chris Patolo, Hayze Perham, Jackson Topine

Knight, once a regular for South Sydney Rabbitohs, is perhaps the most notable name of those set to leave the Bulldogs, and the versatile forward will be able to negotiate with clubs ahead of next year.

Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks

Jayden Berrell, Billy Burns, Niwhai Puru, Siteni Taukamo, Jack Williams

Siteni Taukamo may be a name recognised to English fans, as he played, and scored, for Greece against England in the World Cup… in a 94-4 defeat at Bramall Lane. However, second-rower Jack Williams is probably the biggest name heading out the door, after over 100 Sharks appearances.

The Dolphins

Edrick Lee, Anthony Milford, Tesi Niu, Valynce Te Whare

Anthony Milford haunted England from half-back for Samoa in that infamous World Cup semi-final, and has also made over 200 NRL appearances, but the former Queensland State of Origin man has been relegated to the QLD Cup for most of 2024 and is set to leave Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins.

Gold Coast Titans

Jacob Alick-Wiencke, Klese Haas, Isaac Liu, Joe Stimson, Thomas Weaver

Isaac Liu, after almost 300 NRL appearances, seems set to make a Super League move, with reports suggesting he’s on his way to Leigh Leopards to replace the departing Tom Amone.

Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles

Matthew Lodge, Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega, Corey Waddell

Waddell looks set to leave the Sea Eagles for a second time, after returning to the club for 2024 after three seasons with the Bulldogs. Meanwhile Matthew Lodge has played for five different NRL clubs and will likely be looking for a sixth.

Melbourne Storm

Dean Ieremia, Chris Lewis, Ativalu Lisati, Tepai Moeroa, Marion Seve, Yee-Huang Tonumaipe’a

Tepai Moeroa, a former all-star, has struggled for games since switching Parramatta for Melbourne, and will now seemingly look to revitalise his career elsewhere,

Newcastle Knights

Mat Croker, Brodie Jones, Krystian Mapapalangi, Enari Tuala

The Knights will likely lose a number of key names due to salary cap issues, and that includes some players off-contract at the end of the year. One exciting prospect for Super League sides is Krystian Mapapalangi, a 21-year-old centre who has shown great promise in his short NRL career to date.

NZ Warriors

Valingi Kepu, Jazz Tevaga, Setu Tu

Jazz Tevaga was an all-star in 2022 and has been with the Warriors for nine NRL seasons, but it seems that his time there is up.

North Queensland Cowboys

Jake Granville, Jordan McLean, Wil Sullivan, Jamayne Taunoa-Brown

It has already been confirmed that Jake Granville is leaving the Cowboys after over 200 appearances for the club, in which he secured an NRL Premiership in 2015. 2017 World Cup, and Premier, Jordan McLean, is another potential signing for sides, including those in Super League.

Parramatta Eels

Daejarn Asi, Morgan Harper, Makahesi Makatoa, Ofahiki Ogden

Half-back Daejarn Asi is reportedly heading to Super League in 2025 despite the 24-year-old being a starter for much of the season. He could potentially link up with his former head coach Brad Arthur at Leeds Rhinos. However, he has recently been linked with a move to Castleford Tigers.

Penrith Panthers

Paul Alamoti, Matthew Eisenhuth

Young Paul Alamoti has already made 33 NRL appearances at the age of 20, and the centre, a regular starter for the side that finished second in the Premiership ladder, is incredibly not tied down for next year, despite reports early this year that he had extended his deal through 2025.

South Sydney Rabbitohs

Michael Chee-Kam, Dean Hawkins, Ben Lovett, Taane Milne, Shaquai Mitchell, Isaiah Tass, Leon Te Hau, Izaac Thompson

A huge number of players are set to depart an underwhelming 2024 Bunnies side, including World Cup semi-finalist Taane Milne, Latrell Mitchell’s brother Shaquai, and Izaac Thompson, who for many years has been suggested as the potential solution to the Rabbitohs’ problems on the wing – despite never living up to expectations.

St George Illawarra Dragons

Tom Eisenhuth, Max Feagai, Jesse Marschke, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Alec Tuitavake

Although he sounds like he’d talk about Leeds United having plenty of hustle and then start quoting Muhammad Ali and Mahatma Gandhi, Jesse Marschke is a half-back that has spent the majority of his career in the reserve grade in Australia. Meanwhile, Ben Murdoch-Masila, fomerly of Salford Red Devils and Warrington Wolves, is also available for sides.

Sydney Roosters

Zach Dockar-Clay, Michael Jennings

Former Hull KR man Zach Dockar-Clay is one of just a few Roosters that are set to depart the club, but he has been involved in their last four games and could make a late push to secure his future at the club.

Wests Tigers

Solomon Alaimalo, Sione Fainu

Plenty of players will leave Wests Tigers in the off-season, but only a couple are off-contract at the end of the year. Neither Alaimalo or Fainu have made waves in NRL yet, so may have a future back in reserve-grade.
