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.
5. Wests Tigers
The Tigers have been something of a debacle for much of the season.
After starting strongly, things went pear-shaped in the middle of the year, and have gone from low to low ever since.
They are now in the bottom four, and are still a chance of winning the wooden spoon after dropping two games to the St George Illawarra Dragons in recent times.
Jarome Luai leaves at the end of this year, Jahream Bula maybe hasn't quite caught fire, and the Tigers are staring into ther abyss of another wasted season with little to write home about in the way of recruitment.
Maybe Brimson is something of an answer, even if there is a very real chance he wouldn't play at fullback, and instead would partner Mitchell Moses in the halves.
