Kangaroos' Bostock expects haka showdown

Jack Bostock.

Jack Bostock says he has not ruled out staying with the Dolphins beyond 2027, despite speculation about his future.

"I've seen like a lot of people have sort of jumped to the conclusion ... pencilled in that I'm leaving the Dolphins.

"It's definitely not the case. There's still obviously discussions to be had there, and yeah, that'll happen after World Cup."

The centre joked that he might play three or four games for every club in 2028. "Apparently every club I'm going to ... maybe I'll play three or four games at each club in 2028," he joked.

Before those discussions, Bostock is focused on Sunday's World Cup final against New Zealand in Brisbane. He has scored seven tries in four Tests for the Kangaroos.

He expects the Kiwis' haka to bring emotions similar to Samoa's pre-game siva tau, when Jazz Tevaga focused on the much taller Bostock, who did not flinch.

"The stakes are higher, so emotions are going to be higher," he said.

"There's probably been a little bit question on the culture and stuff like that. But we all know what we stand for.

"We might not have a cultural dance as such, but doesn't mean that we don't have culture within the group.

"We know what we're here to play for, and I feel like that showed on Sunday night."

Bostock made his State of Origin debut in NSW's deciding third-game victory this year. He said he had little time to reflect on his achievements, but had ticked off childhood goals.

"But there's still one more game to get."
