The second superstar in the last week looks set to test the open market after reportedly knocking back a deal from their club.
Hot off the heels of Sam Walker saying he'd test his worth in November, Knights superstar Bradman Best now looks set to join him.
Much like with Walker, there will be 15 NRL sides lining up to have a crack at one of the game's elite centres.
Below I've narrowed it down to six potential landing spots.
Here are six potential landing spots for Bradman Best, come 2028:
6. Newcastle Knights
As is tradition, let's get the boring one out of the way. The Knights may respond quickly and up the offer to where Best re-signs before November first.
He is one of the competition's elite centres and looks Newcastle through and through. If the Knights were to lose him it would be catastrophic.
Best's injury concern is a little worrying and I believe is the only reason the Knights haven't offered "can't refuse" money.
With Kalyn Ponga and Dylan Brown on the books and with Dominik Young off-contract, Newcastle can't just hand over a blank cheque. I get it.
That said, the core of Ponga, Brown, Fletcher Sharpe, Dylan Lucas and Bradman Best sets Newcastle up for something potentially very special.
Unless Best is demanding insulting money, I'd be nudging the Knights to get this done before November first. There will be plenty of interest.
