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:
James Tedesco was less than a game off winning a Dally M medal this past year so to suggest he is going anywhere is ridiculous.
That said, if Faalogo is in no rush to make an immediate move, the Roosters present a very interesting option.
Tedesco will be 32 by the time the 2025 season kicks off. Daniel Tupou is 33 heading into next year.
If Faalogo serves out the year in Melbourne, add another year for 2026. Neither player can play forever.
Faalogo looks very much at home on the wing so a temporary stay out wide isn't out of the question.
If the move was to be right away, the Roosters probably fall out of contention, given they have a rusted-on back three that won't be shifted next season.
If 2026 if the time for the move, a year on the wing before shifting to fullback looks very much a potential route to first grade.
