Brandon Smith's time with the Sydney Roosters is coming to an end faster than a winger racing for the corner post.
The signing of Reece Robson on a hefty four-year deal has set the wheels in motion for Smith's eventual departure.
The decision to leave the North Queensland Cowboys and head back to Sydney was a bit of a curveball, but the allure of playing for one of the top clubs in the competition was too tempting to pass up.
With more money likely on the table, Smith couldn't resist the opportunity to make a move.
As the clock ticks towards 2025, it's becoming clear that this will be Smith's final season in the tri-colours.
With an off-season ahead and a return from an ACL injury on the horizon, Smith finds himself in a bit of a bind as he enters a contract year unable to take the field.
Despite the setback, Smith remains a hot commodity in the market, with six potential landing spots already being floated around like a well-placed kick down the field.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on where this dynamic player ends up next.
