dailyloe.com – The North Queensland Cowboys face challenges in retaining young talent Mason Barber amid interest from rival clubs. Reports indicate that Barber, a 19-year-old fullback, has not yet signed a contract beyond the current season.
The Cowboys have reportedly offered Barber a contract, yet he remains unsigned. His recent performances in the Pre-Season Challenge have drawn attention, leading to speculation about his potential NRL debut.
Barber’s path to the Cowboys’ first grade fullback position appears complicated due to the newly extended Jaxon Purdue, who is set to take over the role next season. According to Code Sports, Barber is considering a lifestyle change, impacting his future with the Cowboys.
Despite not making his NRL debut, Barber has shown promise while playing in the centres in the Queensland Cup. His talent is hard to overlook as he prepares for potential opportunities elsewhere.
