The Penrith Panthers finally came up short in 2025, ending their run of dominance at the top of the NRL. For a side that has had such remarkable success, they are exceptionally stable moving forward, with their spine locked in for at least the next two years, and plenty of emerging talent ready to join other players who are already locked in. That comes really as head coach Ivan Cleary looks to continue refreshing a squad that has fallen short of few major obstacles faced throughout their run of success.Here are FIVE contract targets that could bolster their stocks going forward.Recorded on 21/10/2025FOLLOW Zero Tackle on social media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/zerotackleTW: https://twitter.com/zerotackleIG: https://www.instagram.com/zerotackle/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@zerotackle

The Roosters have, in recent seasons, been a team who have left roster building until late in the piece, but in a significant change, the Bondi-based outfit already have 20 players locked up for 2027. It doesn’t leave them with a great deal of wiggle room when it comes to additions, but they will still have areas to improve, while the future of James Tedesco may be the question that ultimately shapes the way they build the final ten spots of their roster for the 2027 campaign.Here are FIVE contract targets that could bolster their stocks going forward.Recorded on 21/10/2025FOLLOW Zero Tackle on social media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/zerotackleTW: https://twitter.com/zerotackleIG: https://www.instagram.com/zerotackle/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@zerotackle

Now three seasons into their journey, the Dolphins feel a little bit of injury luck away from taking a giant leap forward in their journey, and maybe just as importantly, the nucleus of their squad is locked away for the years to come. It makes signing players for market value or less a real possibility, and could see the Dolphins make some handy pick ups for 2027 despite their salary cap being a little stretched thanks to the recent re-signing of Herbie Farnworth, as well as a number of top end contracts led by Isaiya Katoa and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow.Here are FIVE contract targets that could bolster their stocks going forward.Recorded on 21/10/2025FOLLOW Zero Tackle on social media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/zerotackleTW: https://twitter.com/zerotackleIG: https://www.instagram.com/zerotackle/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@zerotackle

The Wests Tigers finally managed to move away from the wooden spoon in 2025, with Benji Marshall’s rebuild of the Concord-based outfit in full swing. In recent years, they have expressed their desire very publicly to become a ‘development’ club, utilising their own backyard to bring talent into first-grade. But with Jahream Bula and Jarome Luai yet to commit for 2027, there are areas of work needed when it comes to the contract front once the November 1 deadline ticks over.Here are FIVE contract targets that could bolster their stocks going forward.Recorded on 21/10/2025FOLLOW Zero Tackle on social media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/zerotackleTW: https://twitter.com/zerotackleIG: https://www.instagram.com/zerotackle/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@zerotackle

Things are looking brighter heading into the future for the Dragons. Daniel Atkinson arrives in 2026, and their talented crop of young forwards will be better for the run. By 2027, it feels as if the Dragons should be on a collision course with the top eight, or maybe higher. That said, there are still recruitment decisions to be made as Flanagan carefully constructs his squad moving forward. Ageing veterans may need to be replaced, the jury is still out on the halves, and the wings look a real issue.Here are FIVE contract targets that could bolster their stocks going forward.Recorded on 21/10/2025FOLLOW Zero Tackle on social media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/zerotackleTW: https://twitter.com/zerotackleIG: https://www.instagram.com/zerotackle/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@zerotackle

Consistency continues to be the plague for the New Zealand Warriors. The Auckland-based outfit made a preliminary final in 2023, missed the finals altogether in 2024, then started 2025 strongly before fading at the back-end to go out of the finals in the opening week. There are still gaps they will be looking to address come November 1, and with no reported salary cap issues, it’ll be about finding the right balance for the side, rather than adding out-and-out stars.Here are FIVE contract targets that could bolster their stocks going forward.Recorded on 21/10/2025FOLLOW Zero Tackle on social media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/zerotackleTW: https://twitter.com/zerotackleIG: https://www.instagram.com/zerotackle/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@zerotackle

It’s reset time in the Hunter. The Newcastle Knights come out of the 2025 season with the wooden spoon, and few ways to reset their squad in the coming years. They get rid of some players at the end of 2025 that will help fix the salary cap situation, but there is also still an awful lot of work to do with this squad if they are going to become a competitive force in the NRL once again.Here are FIVE contract targets that could bolster their stocks going forward.Recorded on 21/10/2025FOLLOW Zero Tackle on social media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/zerotackleTW: https://twitter.com/zerotackleIG: https://www.instagram.com/zerotackle/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@zerotackle

Things appear to be heading in the right direction for South Sydney - that much is clear - but there are still plenty of questions that will need answering on the park as they attempt to string together some seasons of fitness where they don’t miss a collective 200-plus weeks of action. That excitement only grows when you realise much of the squad is already locked away for the coming years, while they welcome a handful of new faces for 2026.Here are FIVE contract targets that could bolster their stocks going forward.Recorded on 02/10/2025FOLLOW Zero Tackle on social media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/zerotackleTW: https://twitter.com/zerotackleIG: https://www.instagram.com/zerotackle/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@zerotackle

As it stands, it’s a very limited squad on contract heading into 2026, and while it’s headlined by some big-money deals, there is plenty of wiggle room if the Cowboys want to say goodbye to a number of players on their books currently and move in a new direction. 2027 is shaping up as the year they could potentially look to remodel a lot of what they are doing in Townsville as well.Here are FIVE contract targets that could bolster their stocks going forward.Recorded on 02/10/2025FOLLOW Zero Tackle on social media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/zerotackleTW: https://twitter.com/zerotackleIG: https://www.instagram.com/zerotackle/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@zerotackle
