NRL: Following the announcement the Dragons and Ben Hunt have now parted ways, which club is the favourite to land the star halfback?
NRL 2024: Top 10 November 1 targets, free agency, who will your club sign , contracts, signings, Ben Hunt , Reece Robson , Dylan Brown, recruits, news, videosThe November 1 deadline is less than 24 hours away and some of the biggest names in rugby league are set to hit the open market in a staggering feeding frenzy .
So with some of the biggest names in the game free to sit down with rivals in less than 24 hours, foxsports.com.au breaks down the biggest star’s contract situations.Clint Gutherson’s time at the Eels looks to be running out, with incoming coach Jason Ryles giving him permission to depart the Parramatta club.
It was originally floated that Gutherson could wear the No.6 jersey and partner Kyle Flanagan in the halves, however that move now seems unlikely.The 26-year-old featured for the NSW Blues in all three Origin games in 2024, before he was named in Mal Meninga’s Kangaroos squad. Should Robson, a true representative gun, hit the open market, the Cowboys star will not be short of suitors.
The 26-year-old has scored 43 tries in 136 games for the Sharks since his debut in 2019 and has also played 19 Tests for New Zealand. The Broncos shape as an interesting destination, given they have a host of stars that they’ve recently re-signed in an already stretched salary cap. In February 2026, Cherry-Evans will be 37 and it’s been widely reported he’s undecided whether he will continue his career past his current deal.
Trindall informed foxsports.com.au he is set to test the open market, and he’s set to receive a huge increase on his current deal which is worth a reported $300,000. The Knights enforcer shocked Newcastle faithful when he opted to test the open market, with the club tabling an extension to retain him.
So who could be after him? The Bulldogs reportedly top the list of suitors, with Phil Gould desperate to strengthen in the middle of the park. There’s potentially not enough cap space to retain and upgrade both players, and it’s previously been revealed Broncos powerbrokers were yet to table him a new deal.The 22-year-old’s only going to get better and has the ability to play fullback, a position he could make his own in years to come.
While Zac Laybutt and Jaxon Purdue will likely fill that role, Todd Payten could look to add a genuine strike weapon to his side.However, after the club stumped up an offer worth a reported $750,000 per-season, the gun fullback decided to test himself on the market according to the SMH.Storm powerbroker’s new deal could be a reflection of his injury woes, having struggled to consistency stay on the field in recent years.
His links with Jason Ryles, who will take over as Parramatta’s head coach, could see him sit down with Eels bosses.
