The Bulldogs are one step closer to landing the signature of one of rugby league’s most sought-after young guns in Australian schoolboy Brendan Piakura.
A towering, left edge backrower, Piakura is the teenager who had nine NRL clubs chasing him at the back end of last year but has narrowed the race down to three.
Currently in the Broncos system, Brisbane have offered the tearaway forward a $500,000 two-year deal for next year and 2023 while the Bulldogs are the other major player at the negotiating table.
The Gold Coast Titans, through the influence of Immortal Mal Meninga, remain an outside chance.
Piakura will travel to Sydney this weekend for another meeting with Bulldogs head coach Trent Barrett where the gun forward will tour the club’s Belmore facilities.
Since taking over at Canterbury-Bankstown, Barrett has landed some major recruitment coups signing Nick Cotric, Jack Hetherington, Kyle Flanagan and Corey Allan for this season and then Josh Addo-Carr for 2022.
If the Bulldogs can land Piakura’s signature, it’s a major coup.
