Brisbane Broncos: Two clubs battling it out for Broncos fullback” who has already been” report
Fullback Tristan Sailor of the Brisbane Broncos is reportedly vying with two teams for his services as he looks for consistent playing time. Sailor will be free to negotiate with other teams for the 2026 NRL season starting on November 1 of this year, after which he will not be under contract. Nevertheless, there have been rumors that he may leave Red Hill early in the upcoming season in an attempt to secure regular playing time and move out from under Reece Walsh.
Sailor understands he will struggle to establish a regular berth in the first-grade squad as he finds himself behind Reece Walsh, Jock Madden, Coby Black, and other younger players coming through the pathways system, despite the fact that he has been an essential backup player for the Broncos.
Hull FC and St Helens RLFC, two Super League teams, are vying for Tristan Sailor as he seeks more playing time, according to News Corp reports.
John Cartwright, an assistant coach with the Broncos, will take over at Hull FC the following season. Another Broncos assistant coach, Lee Briers, will be joining St Helens RLFC. Cartwright seems to be the most likely person to play beneath.
The England international Jack Welsby is St Helens’ first-choice fullback, but he will get the chance to play fullback. Sailor recently remarked, “It’s definitely a hard one.”
“Everyone in the playmaking spine is younger than me, which is a problem because we have such a great roster. “Walshy,” Ezra (Mam), and Jock (Madden). I want to receive good NRL minutes, so my manager and I will have to consider it when it arises. “I have to seize opportunities as I always say; you never know where they may arise.” Sailor is a flexible utility back who has experience playing outside back and in the halves in addition to fullback. At the end of the previous season, there were rumors that he was going to join the Leigh Leopards
.It is understood that the changeover was about to happen and that his visa to the UK had already been accepted, but the move would never happen.
