Canterbury find themselves in a dilemma as they look to strengthen their squad.
Dean Pay’s side currently sit 15th on the ladder and will hope to move out of the doldrums and back into finals contention in 2020.
Api Koroisau, Jesse Ramien and Herman Ese’ese are the three men the Dogs have earmarked to come in.
But the Bulldogs plans to do recruit the star trio could be scuppered amid interest from rival clubs.
The Sydney Morning Herald claims that Canterbury are being squeezed out of the reckoning by bids from fellow NRL clubs.
As first reported by foxsports.com.au , the Warriors are also interested in Koroisau with the likelihood that they won’t offer Issac Luke a new contract.
That big offer from across the Tasman could see the Dogs miss out on the Manly hooker, who is free to talk to other clubs as the Sea Eagles focus their efforts on re-signing Jake and Tom Trbojevic.
The Warriors mean business, shown by their interest in a number of the Brisbane Broncos’ promising young forwards, and will splash the cash in order to land the coveted hooker.
That in turn could lead to the Bulldogs being trumped in the transfer market.
If they do land the Fijian international, it would have ramifications for their ability to strengthen by adding Ramien and Ese’ese.
The former has been told by Newcastle that he is free to move but remains contracted to the Knights, while Ramien was shown the door by coach Nathan Brown.
“Obviously at the end of the day it didn’t work out,” Ramien told NITV’s earlier this week.
“Their style of play and my style of play and my play obviously didn’t click as much as we would have liked it to. It’s a great club. I haven’t got a bad thing to say about the club. I got along great with all the boys there. These things happen in footy and I guess it’s just time to move on.
“I enjoyed my time there. When I left the bush I pretty much grew up in Newy. It was a bit of a going home for me. As I said before, I’ve just got to move on now.”

Personally I'd like to see the club play hardball and stand their ground by not offering overs to anyone. None of these three are marquee players, they are good solid first graders at most and no one to break the bank over. If we ended up signing all three or even none of these players it is okay with me.
