Former NSW forward Tom Learoyd-Lahrs could shift from the Canberra Raiders to the North Queensland Cowboys before the June 30 transfer window closes.
Learoyd-Lahrs is one of the higher-paid players on the books of the Green Machine and officials would consider releasing him to free up salary cap space. The Tamworth product has again been overlooked for selection for the side to take on Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Stadium on Saturday, with young props Kyle O'Donnell and Paul Vaughan preferred on the bench.
North Queensland are desperate for reinforcements after losing Matthew Scott, Brent Tate, Cameron King, Gavin Cooper and Lachlan Coote to long-term injuries. However, it has been reported that the St George Illawarra Dragons could be another suitor for Learoyd-Lahrs' services.
The Cowboys are also eyeing off other potential forward recruits before deciding whether to grant a release request from Tariq Sims, who is hoping to move his young family to Sydney next year.
