The Gold Coast Titans have officially handed AJ Brimson permission to explore his options on the open market.
The star fullback and five-eighth who has been forced out to the centres at the Titans due to a list of talent that is longer than the positions available, is on big money and contracted until the end of 2030, but is now unlikely to be located on the Gold Coast when the players return for the 2027 pre-season.
Brimson has made it clear he doesn't want to leave the Gold Coast in the past, but has also made no secret of the fact he wants to play at fullback.
With Keano Kini in front of him, one of those things simply isn't going to happen, and it appears wanting to play at fullback has won out.
Even this late in the piece as lead into 2027, Brimson will have plenty of suitors.
We have managed to identify seven clubs who could very easily make a play for him, so in order of least to most likely, here are the outfits who will be in with a chance.
7. Sydney Roosters
The Roosters may be the most unlikely on this list, but they are linked to every big name player coming off-contract who might be interested in a move to the Sydney basin.
As it stands, James Tedesco is their fullback, but for how much longer remains to be seen as he approaches the end of his career.
In the halves, Daly Cherry-Evans is about to depart, although the club do have Hugo Savala and Toby Rodwell as options to join Sam Walker.
In the short-term, if not playing at fullback is the reason Brimson wants out, then the Roosters look a very unlikely possibility.
But ift they promised him Tedesco's jersey sometime in the next few years after kicking off at five-eighth in a dangerous halves combination with Sam Walker?
Well, anything is possible in rugby league.
