The NRL season may be over, but the player market is already heating up ahead of November 1, with clubs beginning to shape their rosters for 2027 and beyond.
From player movement to changes behind the scenes, ESPN NRL Insider Isaac Issa has the latest whispers from around the competition.
Bostock brushes Dragons links
Dolphins star Jack Bostock has dismissed recent links between himself and the Dragons, admitting this isn't the first time he'd been floated for a club switch.
"I've been linked to a few a clubs," Bostock admitted.
"I don't know about [the Dragons links]."
He said that while he "obviously sees it in the media," his sole focus is the Kangaroos.
Sloan's Dragons stay still a possibility
Tyrell Sloan could yet remain at St George Illawarra next season, with discussions ongoing over a potential stay despite his planned move to Castleford.
There is interest in keeping Sloan at the Dragons, but several hurdles remain before that can become a reality.
Roster space and salary cap room would need to be worked through, while any arrangement would also require Castleford to agree to release him.
Sloan previously admitted he would "love to" remain in the NRL when speaking to Channel Nine in August, after his Castleford deal had been announced.
No agreement has been reached and a stay is far from guaranteed.
