The NRL’s never-ending contract circus will keep on going throughout the off-season with deals for 2023 and 2024 and beyond being hashed out.

Now that the November 1 deadline has passed, NRL rules dictate that players off contract next year can be tabled offers from rivals, leaving clubs desperate to tie down talent.

Newcastle are set to snare Jackson Hastings to play halfback while the Wests Tigers will add veteran prop David Klemmer to their pack in a swap deal which is close to being sealed by the two clubs.

The Knights have been searching for a halfback since Mitchell Pearce left 12 months ago and have tried Jake Clifford, Anthony Milford and Adam Clune in the role with limited success while Tyson Gamble is another option after switching from Brisbane in the off-season.

Klemmer has been unhappy at the Knights and was stood down for a week by the club late last season after giving a trainer a verbal spray when refusing to be replaced.

His addition to the pack offsets the loss of veteran skipper James Tamou, who has joined the Cowboys.

According to a NewsCorp report, both players have been told not to attend pre-season training while the final formalities of the deal are thrashed out. Each player will be handed a three-year deal at their new club after they had each been under contract for next season only.

Hastings’ departure to the Knights comes after they tried to negotiate a deal with the Tigers last year to sign Luke Brooks. Returning coach Tim Sheens looks set to start next season with Brooks and Adam Doueihi as his preferred starting halves duo.

The Tigers have recruited Panthers hooker Api Koroisau and Parramatta second-rower Isaiah Papali’i and are trying to lure former Raiders forward John Bateman back to the NRL.

Meanwhile, Warriors forward Jazz Tevaga has extended his deal until the end of 2024.

The 27-year-old, who can fill in at hooker or lock, said he thought the club was ready to rise up the ladder under new coach Andrew Webster now that they’re back home in Auckland after three years of being relocated in Australia due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Warriors have added to their backs by signing former Dragons centre Brayden Wiliame who has been plauing with Perpignan in French rugby on a two-year deal.

Manly’s player of the year Lachlan Croker has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the Sea Eagles until at least the end of 2024.

Dragons hooker Andrew McCullough has announced his retirement – the veteran became a member of the 300 Club during the 2022 season, and finishes with 309 first grade games for Brisbane, Newcastle and St George Illawarra.

Parramatta have signed 22-year old second-rower Matt Doorey after 18 NRL games for the Bulldogs since 2020 and brings depth to the edge on a two-year deal. Fellow back-rower Toni Mataele has re-signed until the end of 2025.
