The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are keen to retain Sean O'Sullivan beyond this year, especially after his stellar performance on Saturday, highlighting his significance to the team.
O'Sullivan led the Bulldogs to a resounding 32-0 victory over the Wests Tigers, showcasing that the team's attack has finally found its rhythm with him as a central figure.
As he is under contract until the end of 2026, his impressive showing is likely to attract interest from rival clubs looking for a dependable backup halfback for next season.
The former Dolphins star has dismissed recent speculation about a potential move to the Super League, expressing that Belmore feels like home to him.
"I'm not really sure [where I'll be playing] to be honest," he shared.
"Obviously I'm super happy here and I love being at the Bulldogs.
"But yeah, the [Super League move] but yeah that was all news to me."
Should Crichton be unable to participate this week due to ongoing nerve issues, O'Sullivan is expected to reunite with Lachlan Galvin in the halves.
The duo works well together, with O'Sullivan taking charge of the playmaking duties, skillfully directing his teammates, while Galvin supports by shaping the attack based on the unfolding situations.
