The rugby league news cycle simply never ends.
Although the first week of the finals will, rightly, dominate the airwaves, another NRL star of considerable profile is now looking for another club.
The Bulldogs made the difficult, yet correct decision to sever ties with Adam Elliott after an off-field indiscrestion.
Although Elliott's incidents were on the lower end of the atrocity scale, they seem to have added up to a point where the Dogs can no longer prioritise his undoubted talent.
What is also undoubted is that he will be lining up for a new club next season. At only 26, he's about to hit his peak.
We look at the five most likely destinations for the troubled, yet extremely talented Adam Elliott.
3. North Queensland Cowboys
The Cowboys made a big play for Dale Finucane. They're obviously not completely happy with their forward stocks.
I actually think a move to the Cowboys would benefit both club and player more so than any other destination on this list.
In terms of ability Elliott would be the first second-rower picked for the Cowboys.
He could play in the 13 but I don't believe Jason Taumalolo's days at lock are done just yet despite early success as a starting front-rower.
A move to Townsville would provide Elliott with new surroundings. More importantly, it would distance him from the media scrutiny of Sydney.
Wherever Elliott ends up is going to lead to a media circus. I guarantee it will die down far quicker should he end up in the far north.
The Cowboys have shown they're in for a big middle forward. They obviously have the cap space and a starting spot available.
If there is any interest here and I'm Elliott's manager, I'm leaning on him to seriously consider this.
