The Canterbury Bulldogs are currently monitoring AJ Brimson's status at the Gold Coast Titans due to his apparent frustration.
Brimson, who donned the fullback position for Queensland in 2020 and earned a spot in the English squad for the Ashes at the end of the 2025 season, faces competition for the number one jersey from Keano Kini.
This situation isn't expected to change anytime soon, with both Kini and half Jayden Campbell, another notable fullback, locked into long-term contracts.
Brimson still has four years remaining on his contract with the Gold Coast, but reports from News Corp indicate a growing frustration as he finds himself playing in the centres, after initially starting the year at five-eighth-a shift that has seen little success and lasted only a few weeks.
In previous seasons, Brimson has expressed his desire to play fullback, and his talent in that role is unmistakable given his track record.
While he prefers to stay with the Titans, it has been reported that the Bulldogs have made inquiries without trying to persuade him to break his contract.
Other clubs in Sydney are also keeping an eye on the situation, as Brimson could be considered one of the top fullbacks in the league not currently wearing his club's number one jersey.
His challenges in the centres have raised further doubts about his position in head coach Josh Hannay's struggling squad.
There is a belief in the NRL that the Titans may soon look to part ways with one of their trio as they strive for better salary cap management and roster balance.
