The Roosters and Titans appear set to battle it out for the services of Nate Myles after the Bulldogs prop completed a whirlwind tour at the weekend.
Myles could make his decision as early as today, having met with officials from Canberra, Melbourne, North Queensland and the Titans after his side's 22-16 over St George-Illawarra on Friday night.
His manager Gavin Orr hinted the Origin star wanted to live near the neach and all but ruled out any chance of him staying with the Bulldogs.
"The biggest thing for him is a starting position," Orr said.
"He'd like to be considered as a starting player, but it's also who's coaching and the lifestyle."
"He's from Cairns and lives on the beach at Cronulla now, he wants to maintain the lifestyle that he's set up," he said.
Canberra looks to be out of the running, while Melbourne has come close to the Roosters' offer of $275,000, but could miss out based on location.
The Gold Coast will be praying Myles will consider a return home to Queensland.
Orr said it was unlikely the Bulldogs could afford to keep the 21-year old.
"He's love to play at the Bulldogs if it was feasible, but I don't think that's the situation," he said.
