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.
6. Angus Crichton and Conor Watson are both leaving the club at the end of the 2026 season. Their only incoming signing is centre Reuben Garrick.
The Butcher brothers split the fanbase while Lindsay Collins and is up there in age.
Fair to say the Roosters are probably looking at some fresh faces in their forward pack while adding some rep quality talent.
The Roosters are masters at maximising the Salary Cap and you know Trent Robinson and co. would have the spiel ready should Wilton's attention drift to Bondi.
Wilton is very much established in the Shire. Allianz, despite what Sharks fans will tell you, isn't that far.
Wilton and Siua Wong would form a fearsome and long-term second row due for the tri-colours.
The Sharks have a case for being close to a premiership bubble. The Roosters are in the middle of that bubble right now.
There's a lot to like here. Although they've missed out on a few names recently, historically the Roosters land players when they really want them.
