The NRL contract season is in full swing, with over 100 players officially available to negotiate and sign with rival clubs starting November 1st.
Joey Manu leads a slew of quality free agents, including Jarome Luai, who announced a transfer to the Tigers, and Ezra Mam, who signed a new contract with the Broncos.
While players who are out of contract are free to join with other teams, the moves would not take effect until the end of 2024, unless their present club gave them an early release.
According to Michael Carayannis of The Daily Telegraph, the backrower is likely to make a surprise return to his former club St George Illawarra, which he departed in 2019 to sign with the Wests Tigers.
The 27-year-old has only been at North Queensland for two seasons, playing 24 games under Todd Payten.
However, he has reportedly requested an immediate release from his contract with at least one other NRL team, thought to be the Canberra Raiders, who are also interested in signing the Samoan international.
