Sharks youngster Liam Ison, dubbed as the next big thing in NRL circles, has been making waves with his impressive debut in the first grade.
Hailing from St Marys Saints, this 19-year-old speedster has been tearing up the NSW Cup with the Newtown Jets, showcasing his skills and potential.
Having been part of the Panthers' 2022 Jersey Flegg Cup winning team, Ison has quickly made his mark in the NRL after filling in for the suspended William Kennedy.
Drawing comparisons to Dylan Edwards, he is already attracting interest from rival clubs who are keen to snag this rising star.
Sources close to the situation have revealed that the Cronulla Sharks are already in talks with Ison to secure his future at the club.
As the youngster gears up for a promising career ahead, negotiations are underway to keep him in the Sharks' den for years to come.
With the November 1 deadline approaching, Ison's future hangs in the balance as other teams circle around, hoping to lure him away.
But with the Sharks showing a keen interest in retaining his services, it looks like the young fullback may just stick around to make a name for himself in the league.
