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.
2. Canterbury Bulldogs
The Bulldogs have major problems in their attack. The Belmore-based outfit just haven't scored enough point this year.
The club are going to go from top four to missing the finals without what now borders on a miracle over the final weeks of the season.
They re-signed Connor Tracey, but that came after reports had already linked them to Jahream Bula and AJ Brimson.
With contracts not worth the paper they are written on, and Canterbury having over questions over their halves - Stephen Crichton and Matt Burton being the options at five-eighth - Brimson could be a winner.
Salary cap will be the big problem.
