After being granted permission to leave the Gold Coast Titans, playmaker Tanah Boyd has been linked to a surprising Sydney club as they prepare for life without one of the competition's oldest players.

Once touted as the future of the Titans' halves, Boyd has been continually overlooked in favour of other options and will have a hard time next season cementing a regular spot in the halves with the likes of Kieran Foran, Jayden Campbell, AJ Brimson, Carter Gordon and Zane Harrison on the books.

Mostly finding himself as either the 18th or 19th man, the ex-Queensland Junior State of Origin representative could soon find himself at another team despite inking a contract extension with the Titans last season.

According toย The Sydney Morning Herald, Boyd is being linked with a potential move to the Manly Sea Eagles who are preparing for life without club legend Daly Cherry-Evans as he continues to get older by the day.

Boyd's potential arrival at his current coach's former team would likely see him handed the reigns to accompany Luke Brooks in the halves until young guns Joey Walsh and Onitoni Large gain more experience under their belt.

He is also no stranger to Anthony Seibold as the two go back to their time together with the Brisbane Broncos.

Remaining in the news cycle, the Sea Eagles have also been linked with a potential move for Wests Tigers forward and English international John Bateman.

According toย News Corp, theย Manly Sea Eaglesย have explored the possibility of poaching him from theย Wests Tigersย as they continue to strengthen their roster and look to add to their forward stocks.

However, it is understood that their interest in the English international is currently at the preliminary stage as Bateman prepares to take onย Samoaย in the coming days.

They have also been linked with Michael Chee-Kam and D'Jazirhae Pua'Avase from the South Sydney Rabbitohs and North Queensland Cowboys.
