In a surprising turn of events for Blaize Talagi, reports have surfaced of a new contender vying for his talents in the 2025 NRL season.
As a free agent after rejecting a player option in his contract, Talagi's future has been uncertain as he explores his options in the open market.
Known as one of the rising stars in rugby league, Talagi has showcased his versatility by excelling in fullback, centre, and halves positions.
Initially rumored to be considering offers from the Newcastle Knights and St George Illawarra Dragons, another team has thrown their hat in the ring, turning the competition into a four-way race for his coveted signature.
According to The Newcastle Herald's Barry Toohey, the Dolphins have emerged as front-runners to secure Talagi if he opts not to extend his stay with the Parramatta Eels.
The stakes are high as clubs battle it out for the talented player's services in what promises to be a thrilling recruitment battle.
