The Brisbane Broncos are understood to have released prop Ethan Bullemor, with the young forward tipped to join Manly, per 7 News' Chris Garry.
Garry's report suggests the 21-year-old will venture south of the Tweed to the Sea Eagles on a three-year deal from next season.
St George Illawarra were reportedly keen on acquiring Bullemor's services, however the 110kg prop is believed to be nearing a deal as Manly's first recruit for next season.

Forward Curtis Sironen is the only confirmed departure from Brookvale, while centre Moses Suli is nearing a switch to the Dragons worth a reported $1.7 million.
Bullemor has played 25 games for the Broncos since making his debut for the Red Hill club last year.
