SHARKS IN DANGER OF LOSING STAR AMID CONTRACT STAND-OFF

The Sharks are in danger of losing hooker Blayke Brailey after he rejected an extension offer from the club as he looks to test his value on the open market.

WWOS’ The Mole reported talks have stalled between Brailey and the Sharks after he rejected an extension offer and issued the club with a counter offer.

“They [Cronulla] made an offer – we didn’t accept it,” Brailey’s manager David Riolo told Wide World of Sports.

“I put a counter offer and they are considering it. We are kind of in limbo at the moment.

“But the clock is ticking and if it can’t get sorted before November 1, he will go to the open market.”

Brailey is considered a NSW Origin hooker of the future and is a homegrown Sharks talent that doesn’t want to leave the club.

However, if the Sharks don’t meet his demands he could attrac t interest from multiple clubs on the open market come November 1.

The 26-year-old has scored 16 tries in 155 games for the Sharks since his debut in 2019 and has been an ion man in first grade having hardly missed a game since his debut.

TIGERS TARGET QUEENSLAND YOUNG GUN

Fresh off locking up skipper Api Koroisau with a two-year extension, the Tigers are targeting Queensland under 19s young gun Javon Andrews.

The Daily Telegraph reported the Tigers have turned their attention to Maroons five-eighth prodigy Andrews.

Andrew is currently at the Gold Coast Titans and starred for the Maroons in their Origin win earlier this year.

The 19-year-old overcame a spinal injury that threatened his career, but is back to full health.

The Tigers are looking to shore up their spine depth after Lachlan Galvin and Tallyn Da Silva left the club mid-season, while Adam Doueihi is weighing up a move to the Panthers in 2026.

The Tigers have been locked in talks with Doueihi over an extension and have tabled a deal believed to be worth around $350,000 a season.

The Tigers are looking to the future with Jarome Luai and Latu Fainu as their halves pairing, but their skipper has a get-out clause that could see him leave the club if activated.

Andrews would provide cover for Luai and Fainu and add depth while he develops into an NRL playmaker, while providing an insurance policy if Luai leaves.
