Melbourne Storm back-up dummy half Bronson Garlick is reportedly in talks for a surprising move to the South Sydney Rabbitohs for the 2026 NRL season.
According to zerotackle.com, Garlick has recently become a key player for the Storm, stepping in as the starting dummy half while Harry Grant has been sidelined due to injury.
With Grant on the reserves list for Round 11 and likely to miss more games during the State of Origin period as he represents Queensland, Garlick's role is expected to expand.
Garlick is noted for being a "crafty rake who does his job well in defence," and he has captured the interest of the Rabbitohs as they consider their squad for 2026.
The Rabbitohs, having replaced Damien Cook with Peter Mamouzelos in the dummy half position following Cook's off-season transfer to the St George Illawarra Dragons, have experienced mixed results this year.
This potential move adds intrigue to both teams as they navigate their rosters and prepare for future challenges in the NRL.
