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.
3. St George Illawarra Dragons
With Matt Dufty being shown the door, there is theoretically a spot available for Manu, should he want it.
Tyrell Sloan has shown some incredible signs in his very short NRL career so perhaps the Dragons won't be in the biggest rush to fill their fullback jersey.
Plus Cody Ramsay is supposedly seen as a long-term option in the one.
With two months of guaranteed footy between the Dragons and having to make a decision, this could be a "wait and see" option.
If Manu sees his future in the halves then the Dragons may very much be in play. They have Ben Hunt but will say goodbye to Corey Norman at the end of the season without a standout replacement option.
The Dragons could be players here but I wouldn't expect them to lead the way unless Sloan and Ramsay bomb out. They have more pressing needs.
