Wests Tigers star Stefano Utoikamanu has been linked with a move to the Dolphins after the in-demand prop was spotted flying to Brisbane.
Utoikamanu played against the Sharks on Friday night, copping a 58-6 hammering, and by Saturday afternoon he was in the air on his way to Queensland.
The Broncos’ salary cap is already bursting at the seams but the Dolphins have cash to splash and are also keen on Eels young gun Blaize Talagi.

The Dolphins are in a three-horse race with the Tiger and Storm to sign Utoikamanu, according to The Daily Telegraph.
The 24-year-old made his Origin debut for NSW last year but missing selection this year triggered a clause that allowed him to break his Tigers contract.
The Dragons and Raiders had previously expressed an interest in Utoikamanu, but they’re no longer interested in the front rower.

SAILOR SETTING SAIL
Broncos son of a gun Tristan Sailor is set for a move overseas as Super League clubs jostle to sign the talented fullback.
Sailor is the backup of Brisbane’s superstar No. 1 Reece Walsh and he’s been getting plenty of game time through the Origin period.
But in pursuit of more minutes the 26-year-old will head to England as powerhouse clubs Hull FC and St Helens fight for his services.
Interestingly, it means Broncos John Cartwright and Lee Briers and both in Sailor’s ear with the coaches to be at those Super League clubs in 2025.
Cartwright will coach Hull FC next year and wants to make Sailor his marquee man, while Briers is tipped to be an assistant at St Helens
Sailor is contracted to the Broncos until the end of 2025 but the club are open to letting him leave early to free up cap space.
