Young Talent Jack Bostock Extends Contract with Dolphins

The Dolphins have secured the future of promising outside back, Jack Bostock, with a two-year contract extension, taking him through to the end of 2027. Bostock, a product of the Dragons junior system, has been a standout for the Dolphins this season, with an impressive try-scoring record, crossing the line 10 times in 12 games.

On the other hand, the Dragons are actively pursuing star hooker Damien Cook, looking to offer him a contract starting in 2025. Cook, currently with the Rabbitohs, is facing salary cap constraints at his current club, prompting potential negotiations with the Dragons. The 32-year-old hooker’s preference for an extended deal aligns with the Dragons’ interest, with discussions already in progress.

Meanwhile, the Titans are set to welcome Wallaby Carter Gordon to their roster, adding depth and talent to their squad. Gordon’s move to the Titans signifies a fresh chapter in his career, bringing his skill set to a new environment and setting.

In the midst of these player movements, the Roosters‘ hooker, Brandon Smith, has come under scrutiny following a breach notice issued to him earlier this month. The New Zealand star’s future at the Roosters hangs in the balance, potentially opening up avenues for other clubs, including the Dragons, to explore opportunities.

St. George Illawarra’s coach, Shane Flanagan, is content with his current hooker, Jacob Liddle, but envisions a different role for him in the team moving forward. Liddle’s adaptability and potential as a No. 14 jersey player point towards strategic lineup adjustments within the Dragons’ squad.

Additionally, the Rabbitohs have secured young hooker Peter Mamouzelos to a contract extension, solidifying their roster for the coming years. Mamouzelos’ commitment highlights the club’s investment in nurturing emerging talent and building a strong foundation for future seasons.

Furthermore, Reece Walsh‘s absence from the upcoming games before Origin 2 raises questions and discussions within the league, signaling potential implications for team dynamics and strategic planning leading up to key matches.
