With all ten Rugby League World Cup squads now officially announced, it is time to see what clubs will be impacted the most heading into the 2027 season.
A World Cup year always brings an added layer of uncertainty, with the mandatory annual leave period seeing players likely not returning to pre-season until Janaury, while the risk of injury during the tournament could leave clubs without key players heading into the 2027 season.
New recruits will be eager to get a taste of their new colours, while those yet to secure a contract for 2027 and beyond have a valuable opportunity to showcase their worth and put themselves in the shop window on the international stage.
This is how every club will be impacted ahead of the 2027 NRL season, with Top 30 players considered.
