Canberra Raiders youngster Chevy Stewart looks as though he'll be at a different club in 2026.
Despite being contracted in the capital until the end of next season, the club have permitted him to explore his options.
Given the incredible rise of Kaeo Weekes, Stewart's path to the NRL looks as though it will be blocked off.
Signed from the Sharks with a view to being the long-term option in the one, Stewart has played NRL on just three occasions.
That said, at just 20 years of age, this kid has all the talent to forge out a super NRL career in the coming years.
It just looks as though that won't be representing the Green Machine.
Here are five potential landing spots for Chevy Stewart:
2. Cronulla Sharks
As mentioned above, Stewart was born in the Shire and is a Cronulla Sharks junior.
He was named the club's Junior Representative Player of the Year in 2022 after starring in their Harold Matthews Cup team.
Cronulla did not want to see him go. I know that for a fact. Unfortunately, they couldn't match what Canberra has offered.
Will Kennedy remains unsigned beyond this season.
Even if, as expected, Kennedy does pen a one-year extension, he doesn't look to have a hold on the role for the next five years like many NRL fullbacks do.
Youngster Liam Ison's ACL injury has set him back a year in development.
Stewart is a bigger option than Ison. They're the same height, but Stewart has a much bigger body right now.
If Kennedy does leave, then a shootout for the spot between Stewart and Ison looks like an exciting contest.
Cronulla have well-documented cap issues for next season.
It may be that they have to let Kennedy go and take a chance on a player of Stewart's standing. He certainly has the talent to make this a profitable gamble.
