Plenty of players across the league are reaching career-best form in contract years, putting them in line for richer contracts for 2024 and onwards.
Whether their own club is looking to secure their services for the future, or a rival clubs sparks a bidding war, there are players at each club that will be looking at a pay bump when contract talks commence.
Here we name 10 players who could earn pay rises for 2024 thanks to their current vein of form.
4. Lachie Ash
The dashing Giants defender has continued to progress as a versatile asset across the defensive half in 2023, sharing his workload between the backline and midfield under Adam Kingsley.
The former Pick 4 has had just one game below 20 touches so far this season to rank elite for disposals and above average for effective kicks, metres gained and rebound 50s among defenders.
Much like fellow 2019 first-round selection Miles Bergman, Ash added two more years on top of his rookie contract after finding his feet at senior level.
With that deal now reaching an end, both Ash and the Giants will have a decision to make in 2023 for the future, with the 21-year-old's next deal sure to warrant a rise.
While the Giants have managed to sign away key youngsters in Tom Green and Finn Callaghan to new deals, the club is needing to secure not only Ash, but star swingman Harry Himmelberg as part of their next phase of retentions targets.
