With Origin dominating the main stream headlines for the next few weeks, a few talking points will inevitably slip under the radar.
The NRL's silly season is really yet to hit full swing. We've seen a few big name signings for next season but there are plenty of moves to come.
One domino set to fall sooner than later is 19-year-old Bulldogs centre Paul Alamoti.
Despite an indifferent season to date, I still have no doubt in the world that Alamoti is going to develop into a weapon out wide.
Whether or not that will be with his current club in 2024 and beyond is up for debate.
Below are five likely destinations for the wrecking ball centre.
2. North Queensland Cowboys
Peta Hiku's confirmed exit from the club at the end of the season opens up a spot in the Cowboys' backline. A spot I can see Alamoti filling.
With the greatest of respect to the current Cowboys lineup, they need an injection of youth. Something new. Something exciting.
Alamoti fits that very bill to a tee.
Tom Chester's injury will rob us of seeing what he can do but talk is his future is in the spine. I don't see a standout option in the Cowboys ranks to take that open centre spot.
Reports indicate the Cowboys may agree as Alamoti's name has seemingly been discussed.
This is a move that makes a lot of sense for the North Queenslanders. Whether or not a 20-year-old born and raised in Sydney would be willing to make that move shapes as the biggest question.
The opportunity would almost certainly be there. As is the chance to train beside one of the game's elite centres in Valentine Holmes.
As you say, he is only 19. Moving to Townsville and cutting himself of from family and friends and his wider “support group” is not something I would recommend for him.
Even the best, mature players can struggle moving cities (you’d know that yourself, after seeing how Shaun Johnson failed to fit in at Cronulla, and how much happier he has looked since he went back to Auckland).
If he is going to move, the bus-ride to Parra looks his best option, to my mind.
