While Fuller continues to battle for a spot in the Dolphins back-line, Connor Tracey has been able to cement the Bulldogs’ fullback role as his own and has been a valuable piece of the club\u2019s spine since arriving in 2024.<\/p>\n
However, this hasn\u2019t stopped reports from emerging that the Bulldogs are interested in fullbacks from rival clubs, such as Jahream Bula, further adding doubt over Tracey\u2019s long-term future in Belmore.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, for sure, that\u2019s the goal,\u201d Tracey, who is off-contract at the end of 2026, said when questioned about his future and whether or not he\u2019d like to remain at the Belmore-based side.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no pressure. I\u2019m always wanting to play good no matter what the contract situation is.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking to play for my club and my teammates, so that\u2019s what I\u2019m focused (on).\u201d<\/p>\n

Keen to extend with the Bulldogs, reports emerged in 2025 that the club were interested in extending him on a long-term extension after the retention of Cameron Ciraldo, Phil Gould and Stephen Crichton.<\/p>\n
However, there has been no update on talks between the two parties, and he remains off-contract at the end of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
With the Perth Bears and PNG Chiefs lurking in the shadows, a decision is likely to be made sooner rather than later, but Tracey is fully focused on the upcoming Round 1 clash against the Dragons at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
\u201cPre-season is tough, but at the same time I\u2019m tired of being in the water,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s pretty cool to take the game over there and (we) go over there with a job to do, so it\u2019s going to be a cool experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou definitely review last season and the last few games and where they went wrong and sort of focus on them for the first part of pre-season. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut once that\u2019s underway, you sort of inter-build combinations and build how you sort of play.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Star NRL fullbacks Connor Tracey and Trai Fuller have addressed their playing futures as they prepare for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":469200,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-469199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=469199"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469199\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/469200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=469199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=469199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=469199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
