Another season is in the books with Penrith romping to an incredible fourth consecutive premiership.
But while the NRL action may be done for the year out on the field, that doesn’t mean that there won’t still be plenty bubbling away behind the scenes at every club.
A host of big-name players are set to come off-contract in 2025, meaning they hit the open market on November 1.
Ryan Papenhuyzen and James Tedesco were two of the stars on the list, but have since earned extensions at their current clubs.
Reece Walsh was the headline name due to come off-contract at the end of the 2025 season, but the Broncos have managed to stop him from hitting the open market with the fullback agreeing to a four-year extension.

The Raiders have locked down a vast majority of their playing roster long-term but there are still some pieces to attend to.
Kaeo Weekes was rewarded for a stellar first season in the nation’s capital with a two-year extension which will take him through until at least the end of the 2027 campaign. Xavier Savage has also committed through to 2027.
Danny Levi has reportedly been informed he is free to pursue opportunities elsewhere, while Hohepa Puru has joined Cronulla.
Josh Papalii has taken up the option in his deal for 2025 to remain as a one-club player at the Raiders, while Emre Guler has been released from his contract to join the Dragons.

Josh Addo-Carr was the highest profile name due to come off-contract at Belmore in 2025 but he is no longer at the club after being sacked following his drug scandal.
Josh Curran has agreed to a new deal after making a great impact during his first season at the club following his switch from the Warriors.
