On November 1st this year a host of superstars will officially be off contract for the 2023 season meaning they will be able to discuss their futures with other clubs.
Some of the names off-contract include Viliame Kikau, Cody Walker and Ryan Papenhuyzen.
Scrolling through the list though, one player who stands out to me is Joseph Manu. A superstar centre with very public ambitions to shift into a fullback role.

Despite his success in Roosters colours, he is a player I believe can be tempted into shifting clubs to seek a positional change and a big upgrade in contract value.
Below are the most likely landing spots for the Kiwi superstar.
4. Brisbane Broncos
The Broncos hold two aces in the deck here. They have an open fullback spot and they have the biggest single market in Rugby League. This leads to third party opportunities.
Brisbane could likely swoop in on November 1st and drop a deal for Manu to play in the number one for the next four years on money and opportunities no one else could match.
The Broncos haven't had a full time number one since Darius Boyd. They've tried multiple options and as well as Tesi Niu has played recently, Manu instantly improves the side.
I don't think the Broncos could lure Manu away from Sydney to play centre so this would likely come down to Manu's want to play fullback.
Adam Reynolds arrives next year while most of Brisbane's young talent has been extended long-term.
There's a lot to like here in this situation for both club and player.
