Arguably one of the most electrifying fullbacks in the competition remains off contract beyond the 2026 season.
A late bloomer, Trai Fuller has evolved into the best backup fullback at any club, consistently performing when filling in for an absent Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow.
The 28-year-old has only made 16 appearances since his NRL debut in 2023 but has proven he has what it takes to be a starter in the league.
Part of the Dolphins program since he was a teenager, if Fuller were to leave his boyhood club, these five teams would definitely consider acquiring his services.
1. Cronulla Sharks
With William Kennedy's exit from the club after the 2026 season all but confirmed, the Cronulla Sharks are going to be left with Liam Ison as the only fullback at the club.
This is no knock on Ison, but the Sharks will need another fullback.
A club cannot afford to carry only one first grade fullback, let alone a 21-year-old with only one game of NRL experience.
Bringing in a fullback that is guaranteed to cause problems for any opposition may also help unlock Nicho Hynes in big games by taking the pressure off of him as the only creative outlet in the Sharks attack.
Ultimately, a spine of Fuller, Hynes, Braydon Trindall and Blayke Brailey sounds exciting but also polished enough to take the Sharks deep into the finals.

That is why the Bulldogs should keep Connor Tracy, rather than letting him go and taking a punt on (perennially injured) Kade Dykes – two games from four years !
Why would we let go of CT and risk not getting a well enough replacement for him?
