NRL contract season is in full swing, with over 100 players officially available to negotiate and sign with rival clubs from November 1st.

Joey Manu and Ezra Mam headline a blockbuster list of talented free agents, with Jarome Luai bringing an end to his long-running saga after announcing a move to the Tigers.

While players off-contract are free to sign with other franchises, the transfers would not come into effect until the end of 2024 unless granted an early release by their current club.

Canterbury have reportedly offered a long-term deal to Terrell May in an attempt to lure the forward to Belmore, according to The Daily Telegraph.

The Sydney Roosters prop is due to come off contract at the end of the year and the Dogs have picked him as a key recruit to bolster their pack following the exits of the likes of Tevita Pangai Junior and Luke Thompson.

May recently spoke about his desire to link up with his two brothers Tyrone and Taylan.

“I want to be honest here, my talks are with whoever wants to sign us three brothers, that’s where I want to be,

The Dogs interest in signing forwards was highlighted by Phil Gould last year when he revealed they were in the market for a veteran for 2024.

“We realise that (forward pack) is an issue for us and we’re working towards it, but I think we’re a bit better placed than what the average person is looking at there,” Gould said on SEN.

“Internally, we’re confident that we’ve got some blokes there that can get the job done for us.

“No doubt we’re looking for an experienced middle forward though.”

Zac Woolford’s Canberra release request knocked back

Canberra hooker Zac Woolford has had a release request denied by the club after he eyed a potential move to St George Illawarra.

The Dragons are in the market for recruits as they look to boost their depth in key positions with Shane Flanagan reportedly keen to sign Woolford.
