The Brisbane Broncos have reportedly set their sights on Parramatta playmaker Mitchell Moses.
Brent Read from The Australian is reporting that Moses will be chased by the Broncos if Tom Dearden commits his future to the North Queensland Cowboys.
The Broncos desperately want to keep Dearden but it is believed that the 20-year-old could sign with the Cowboys in the coming days.
Parramatta have been open in their desire to keep Moses in the blue and gold and the in-form halfback has a one-year option in his contract for next year.
Eels powerbrokers are yet to offer Moses an extension on that deal, and he could head north for added contract security.
The 26-year-old has until Round 10 to exercise the option for next year, but SEN host Andrew Voss believes his management are exploring other more lucrative opportunities.
“I’m getting lots of mail of Mitchell Moses potentially leaving Parramatta,” Voss said on SEN 1170 Breakfast.
“Obviously, his managers are exploring other opportunity elsewhere and there could be some big money involved.”
The Eels face the Broncos this Friday in Darwin in what could act as an audition for Moses as he chases a big contract with the Red Hill club.
Brisbane have also been open in their pursuit of Adam Reynolds and it could come down to him or Moses if Dearden does opt to leave the club.
