Parramatta Eels are now nearer to signing Canterbury Bulldogs centre centre Maika Luai after the collapse of Volkan Erdengiz contract negotiations. The club registered Luai in its team list as the Tigers struggle with internal issues caused by his move. Reports indicate a $1.2 million offer is available, intended to bring Luai home in a homecoming contract. The transfer would see Luai rejoin his original NRL side, while the Bulldogs aim to rebuild after the loss of a vital playmaker.
