Despite making its return last year, the NRL Nines will not be a part of the 2021 NRL pre-season schedule.
This page, therefore, still has the 2020 squads up.
2020 was the first Nines tournament in three years. Make sure to check out the full NRL Nines fixtures here too.
Nines squads do not strictly have to be made up of a club’s current NRL roster (if you’re after each team’s actual NRL roster for 2020, click here), with several former retired – or cross-code – stars coming out to play NRL Nines.
Jump to team: Brisbane Broncos | Canberra Radiers | Canterbury Bulldogs | Cronulla Sharks | Gold Coast Titans | Manly Sea Eagles | Melbourne Storm | New Zealand Warriors | Newcastle Knights | North Queensland Cowboys | Parramatta Eels | Penrith Panthers | South Sydney Rabbitohs | St George Illawarra Dragons | Sydney Roosters | Wests Tigers
