Over the past few days, a number of reports have dropped that outline the future of the fullback position at the Melbourne Storm.
Ryan Papenhuyzen is set to sign a long-term contract extension, tying his future to the purple.
Young gun Sua Fa'alogo has reportedly been promised that he would be allowed to search for another club should the Papenhuyzen signing continue to block is progress.
While this is all speculation at this stage, I can't see a world in which Faalogo remains at the Storm, knowing Papenhuzen and Tyran Wishart are ahead of him in the pecking order.
Below are FIVE potential landing spots should the Storm allow Faalogo to make the move:
New Eels boss Jason Ryles has shown his hand early in allowing current fullback and captain Clint Gutherson to search for another club.
His expected move to the Dragons is going to open up both a spot and plenty of cap space.
Incoming young gun Isaiah Iongi looks to have the inside run on the vacant position, but I'm sure there are some with eyes for Faalogo.
Faalogo is the ultimate utility but he won't move from a brilliant system for a similar role.
Right now the Eels backline looks short on options. There are talks the Eels are shopping Maika Sivo too, meaning there are roles to fill.
Between Faalogo and Iongi, I'm sure it can be worked out.
Ryles is looking to provide a new outlook, a new vision and new excitement in the blue and gold. What better way to kick that of than with an exciting signing?
Much like the Sharks, Parra don't boast millions of dollars in spare cap room and thus need to make smart signings.
Faalogo in at fullback looks an absolute no brainer unless Iongi blows the coaching staff away upon landing in Parra colours.
