A shockwave went through the Shire this week on the back of reports that Teig Wilton would be testing the market come November 1st.
Wilton is one of few players the entire Sharks' collective fan base can agree upon is a must to retain in the Shire.
Later in the week I'll run down why the Sharks can't afford to lose the left sided backrower.
Today though we're going to look at six potential landing spots should be decide his future lays elsewhere and he does decide to leave the Sharks.
Titans ? After suffering frustration under Fitzgibbon, he may decide to see if old-pal Hannay can do better, but historically the Gold Coast is where ambition goes to die.
Storm ? With Bellamy going, he might not want to leave his friends and family for a trip to Mexico
Wests ? Why would he ?
PNG ? A long-term signing to go and live in a compound. Surrounded by complaining wives, skriking kids and a bunch of guys who are only there for the money with no interest in winning anything or building for the future ? Sounds like the Gold Coast of old, on steroids. Hmm. I suspect Teig is to smart to want to get involved in that.
Raiders ? Wests with worse weather
Roosters ? Wouldn’t even have to move house, and the third-party add-ons would ensure he doesn’t go begging. Yes, Roosters would be a good choice.

Mate, they’re living in a RESORT. They say that it’s a compound when they get so much over there, he’d be crazy not to go if he gets an offer that’s big.
