Jack Bostock's three-try debut could price him out of Dolphins
Bostock scored three tries, including a 90-metre intercept try, in Australia's 24-22 win over New Zealand.
Jack Bostock scored three tries, including a 90-metre intercept, in his Kangaroos debut on Thursday, securing a 24-22 win. The 24-year-old's aerial work sealed victory at a packed Allianz Stadium.
Bostock's performance shifts conversation to his market value. The Illawarra product fell through the cracks at the Dragons before joining the Dolphins in 2023.
Bostock recovered from a career-threatening ACL injury and became one of the NRL's elite outside backs. Elite centres like Latrell Mitchell earn around $1 million a year, and Bostock could command high six figures.
The Dolphins' salary cap is tight with several key backs unsigned. Some rival clubs, including the Dragons, are watching.
If they don't move fast on a new deal, Bostock could walk.
