Super League 2026 may only be halfway complete, but all clubs will no doubt have one eye on their squad for 2027, and how their roster for 12 months’ time is looking.
Some sides, such as Wakefield Trinity, have already completed some signings for next year, with Cameron Smith, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Emre Guler all joining the club.
Plenty of deals will have already been agreed and are awaiting confirmation, whilst others will be hoping to land a last-minute pick-up, just like Castleford Tigers did with Krystian Mapapalangi, and it’s clear to see the impact he is already having.
In the NRL, there are currently 100 players without a contract for next season. With Super League clubs free to talk to all of those, some of that contingent will likely be making their way to the UK or France next term.
Including in that list are World Cup winners such as the experienced Daly Cherry-Evans, and faces familiar to the northern hemisphere such as Morgan Smithies, Brad Schneider and John Bateman.
It has been reported that Smithies has signed a new deal with current club Canberra, but no confirmation has been made just yet.
With that in mind, here is a full list of every off-contract NRL player as it stands, per ZeroTackle, and there are plenty of names that would be of huge interest to a lot of Super League clubs.
