    Canberra Raiders centre Sebastian Kris is on the brink of a club switch as the New Zealand Warriors pursue his signature.

    Presently, Kris is expected to be off-contract at the conclusion of the 2027 NRL season, allowing him to negotiate with rival teams beginning November 1.

    News Corp has reported that the versatile outside-back, capable of playing both wing and centre, may leave at the end of this season if he secures another deal.

    The Warriors have already added Will Warbrick for next season, joining Alofiana Khan-Pereira and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak in the competition for wing positions, while Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Adam Pompey, and Ali Leiataua are options at centre, with Grant Anderson also providing utility depth.

    The Canberra Raiders have firmly denied any ongoing pursuit of Penrith Panthers prop Moses Leota.

    Leota's contract extends until the end of 2027, but he shook the NRL landscape earlier this year by gaining permission to explore opportunities beyond the Panthers prematurely.

    This development coincided with Penrith's struggles related to an inflated salary cap and a considerable number of players, including stars like Nathan Cleary and Isaah Yeo, facing contract expirations at the conclusion of 2027.
