Scott Drinkwater has shattered the hopes of swooping rival NRL clubs and will remain at North Queensland through to 2027 after inking a four-year extension.
The 25-year-old's form at fullback this season is one of the main reasons behind the club playing finals football for the first time since 2017.
His mercurial running game has seen him register 10 tries and 14 try assists in just 19 games after starting the season as a reserve.
