Spencer Leniu's role at the Sydney Roosters is beginning to shift, with the premiership-winning prop seeing a gradual decline in minutes in the tri-colours rotation.
While he remains a valuable part of the squad, his long-term place in the side is becoming a talking point as the club continues to evolve its forward pack.
Off contract at the end of 2027, Leniu will be free to negotiate with rival clubs from November 1, opening the door for potential movement ahead of the 2028 season.
With his combination of premiership experience, Origin exposure and impact through the middle, he is likely to attract interest across the competition.
Here are seven potential landing spots for the representative forward.
1. PNG Chiefs
A move to the PNG Chiefs in their inaugural season would carry both intrigue and symbolism for Spencer Leniu.
The prospect of reuniting with former Panthers teammate Jarome Luai adds another layer, particularly given the pair's history in one of the NRL's most dominant systems. While any deal remains speculative until the November 1 negotiation window opens, the noise around Leniu and PNG refuses to go away.
At his best, Leniu is an opposition disruptor — explosive, unpredictable and capable of swinging momentum in a single stint. For a new franchise trying to establish identity, he offers more than metres; he brings attitude. His Origin pedigree, and big-game experience would instantly give the Chiefs credibility, while his aggressive edge could help set a tone of grit and intimidation from day one.
This is the best potential landing spots zt has posted in a while. Every mention made sense. Only thing I would of changed is adding Melbourne and Manly and maybe even the dragons
