North Queensland Cowboys second-rower Jeremiah Nanai intends to test the open market beginning November 1 to gauge his value for the 2028 season. While he is regarded as an elite attacking threat known for his ability in the air and try-scoring record, questions remain regarding his defensive consistency. His status as a potential seven-figure player has attracted interest from other NRL clubs, including the Parramatta Eels. The Eels could target Nanai to reinforce their edge attack alongside Jaydn Su'A, provided they can manage salary cap constraints. Nanai remains contracted to the Cowboys through the current period, but the transition to free agency signals a potential exit for the second-rower.
