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.
6. Verdict
I can't see a situation where the Dogs would want him to leave the club, but the decision may ultimately not be theirs.
With the Cowboys supposedly in talks with Alamoti, and the Eels almost certain to be in the market for a centre, a move looks very much on the cards.
Given the pre-season excitement over his pending first-grade debut, I'd be shocked if the Dogs don't do everything within their power to retain their young asset.
Firmly sitting on the fence here but I'm feeling it's 60/40 that he stays with the Dogs.
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.
