We are now just two weeks away from the NRL's silly season - November first!
The latest name to join the mayhem is Newcastle's Kai Pearce-Paulย after he announced he would be testing the market for 2026 and beyond.
Pearce-Paul remains contracted to the Knights for next season but has hinted at being open for a change for the year after.
Below are FIVE potential landing destinations for the talented second-rower for 2026.
If any coach in the NRL is going to know what KPP is all about, it's the former St Helens turn Dolphins head coach Kristian Woolf.
We're yet to really see what Woolf can do at the NRL level, having only seen him take the reigns of three NRL games as an interim.
That said, the wraps are very real and his Super League record is impeccable. I believe he'll have some pull in the transfer market.
With Felise Kaufusi and Kenny Bromwich entering the 2025 season at 33 year's of age, the change is coming.
KPP will be 25 by the time the 2025 season kicks off. He'll also have two full NRL seasons under his belt and 100 top grade games under his belt.
That is the near-perfect situation for a recruit. Young, experienced and super talented.
A potential back row of Kulikefu Finefeuiaki and Kai Pearce-Paul certainly looks appealing. That's also a combination that could see the Dolphins long into the future.
I have no insight into the Dolphins cap situation but you have to think they can free up the space for a potential marquee signing.
