Few men in rugby league have the same blend of grit, leadership and intensity like Cameron McInnes.
Dubbed the toughest man in rugby league, McInnes shows up week in, week out, putting his body on the line without any regard for his own safety, a mentality many believe is lacking in the modern game.
It's an old-school trait that coaches love and teammates rally behind, a trait that has cemented his spot as a leader among his fellow players.
Now in the final year of his Cronulla Sharks contract, his time may be up in the Shire, especially with fellow lock Jesse Colquhoun signing a multi-year extension.
However, his time in the NRL may not and should not be over.
So, here are the six potential landing spots for McInnes, the ones that make sense financially and competitively.
3. Newcastle Knights
The Newcastle Knights are in an interesting position.
They're in a clear rebuild, but they don't have a lock at the club.
Tyson Frizell has been named to start there for the time being, but he is traditionally a second rower.
He is also off contract this season, and at 34, many expect the Knights to move him on.
Obviously McInnes, at 32, isn't much younger than Frizell, but bringing him in on a one or two-year deal, to fill the experienced gap left by Frizell, isn't such a bad idea.
With Frizell out of the picture, and not including Jacob Saifiti, the rest of the Knights' forward pack has only played an average of 27 NRL games.
