In a twist that has fans on the edge of their seats, Melbourne Storm's star fullback, Ryan Papenhuyzen, is reportedly eyeing a move to Sydney as he gears up to explore his options when the free agency window opens on November 1.
Currently playing off-contract until the end of the 2025 NRL season, Papenhuyzen could potentially become one of the hottest commodities in the league if he decides to part ways with the Storm.
Despite battling injuries in recent times, he continues to shine as one of the elite fullbacks in the game, with whispers of a potential switch to the Parramatta Eels earlier on before they secured Isaiah Iongi.
Now, the Canterbury Bulldogs have emerged as another Sydney club showing a keen interest in Papenhuyzen's services if he decides not to extend his stay with the Storm.
With the Bulldogs joining the race alongside other suitors, the fullback's future is set to be a gripping storyline leading up to the November deadline.
