Rugby league is the gift that just keep on giving!
Last night, while I was recording a show, news broke that Dominic Young had been given permission to explore his options by the Roosters.
This game, which we all love, is never short on talking points.
Right away, the Roosters' fan base was split. Some couldn't believe the club was letting the try-scoring monster go, while others offered to drive him to his next club.
Attention soon turned to the potential market for the two-metre tall, 23-year-old.
12 months ago, there wasn't a club in the competition that wouldn't have been in for the speedster.
Now? Well, I still believe there is a large market, given the incredible highlight reel Young has produced.
Below are five potential destinations for Dom Young:
The Bunnies need troops. They need bodies!
I have no doubt the Roosters are willing to tip in a fair amount of Young's contract for 2025, but his next club would have to carry full freight moving forward.
Young walks into the current Souths line-up. Probably even their full strength side ... if that even exists anymore.
Wayne Bennett has made a career out of getting the best out of wayward players.
He made Dane Gagai a star. Dom Young hasn't gone through all the off-field issues that Gagai did, so I'd argue he's a much better prospect in that regard.
I love Campbell Graham but he is not a winger. Graham and Wighton back in the centres is absolutely the go. Young and Johnston on the wing will ensure the Bunnies score points for fun.
Again, I'm not sure where the Bunnies cap is at right now but if they can navigate through 2025, with the Roosters help, I'm sure moves can be made for next year and beyond.
Whether or not the Roosters would want to assist their old rival though? That's doubtful.
