Zero Tackle NRL Podcast

Craig Bellamy’s team make the finals like clockwork, and then are always going to be in the mix for a premiership.

We still have no idea if Bellamy will be the head coach of the Victorian-based outfit in 2027 given his year-to-year status surrounding whether he will hang up the clipboard or not, but at this point, what he has instilled into the club, his support staff, and the club as a whole, probably isn’t going anywhere even if he doesn’t continue in his current role beyond the end of 2026.

Here are FIVE contract targets that could bolster their stocks going forward.

Big decisions are still need to be made by Cronulla on the roster front with a stack of players off-contract at the end of 2026, and there is just a nagging feeling that it could be crunch time for head coach Craig Fitzgibbon if he is ever going to get his squad to the next level.

The Eels rebuild under first-year coach Jason Ryles is well and truly underway. In a true clean out operation, Ryles has made it very clear - you’re either with him, or you won’t be at the club. He still has some big calls to make on players off-contract at the end of 2026, but there is absolutely no doubt the Eels will be exploring the open market come November 1 as they look to lock up some more talent as part of their Top 30.

The free agency window ahead of the 2027 NRL season is shaping up as moving time for the Manly Sea Eagles. For now though, Seibold remains in charge, and when November 1 hits, there are some pretty clear areas the Northern Beaches-based side will be looking at to strengthen their squad.

Coming off a bottom two finish in 2025, and with a new coach at the helm, November 1 will be a date circled in the calendar for the Gold Coast Titans more than just about any other club. They will still be sweating on Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and Beau Fermor’s decision, but otherwise, it’s rebuild time at Robina.

The Canterbury Bulldogs have flipped almost the entirety of their squad in the last couple of years. It’s fairly clear they are not finished looking at more recruits yet to go with the players already contracted long-term, and, indeed, the club’s junior pathway which is beginning to develop.
