NRL contract season opens with 180 players chasing deals
Roughly 180 players hit the NRL market on November 1 seeking contracts.
Rugby league's contract season starts Sunday when the NRL opens its market. Roughly 180 players become available.
The Dolphins face a salary cap squeeze. Three potential million-dollar earners lack contracts.
They are fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, centre-winger Jack Bostock, and backline star Herbie Farnworth. Farnworth appears set to sign with the Roosters for 2028, which eases some pressure on Redcliffe's finances.
According to journalist James Hooper, rumours suggest Farnworth had tension with teammates over his expected move. Bostock is pushing his asking price higher with a strong World Cup campaign.
The coming weeks will see significant player movement and salary cap drama.
