Preparations are in full swing for the rapidly approaching 2024 NRL season, with every club in the midst of their recruitment and retention drives.
Penrith and Brisbane will both pay the price for their success, losing some key stars from their grand final lineups, while the likes of the Roosters and Bulldogs have added some important names.
At this stage, almost every club has spots left in their roster for the upcoming campaign, with the likes of the Cowboys and Dragons still a long way from locking in their top 30 squads.
Fletcher Baker and Jaiyden Hunt will join the club on two-year deals, while both Tom Flegler and Herbie Farnworth will head to the Dolphins.
Tristan Sailor has been upgraded to the top squad, while back-rower Keenan Palasia has signed with the Titans on a multi-year contract.
Ezra Mam and Adam Reynolds headline a list of Brisbane players who will come off-contract at the end of 2024.
Kurt Capewell has been granted an early release from his contract to link up with the Warriors.
Jarrod Croker has retired from the NRL after a lengthy career, while five-eighth Jack Wighton has moved to South Sydney on a bumper four-year deal.
Chevy Stewart has been upgraded to the top 30 roster, while young gun Simi Sasagi has signed from the Knights for this year and Kaeo Weekes has joined from Manly.
The club have also added a new Englishman to the ranks, with lock-forward Morgan Smithies joining the ranks on a three-year deal for 2024 and beyond, while Zac Hosking will further boost their backrow stocks after joining from Penrith.
Brad Morkos and Harley Smith-Shields have both been granted an early release from their contracts.
