Canterbury playmaker Lachlan Lewis looks set to be cast aside by the Bulldogs.
The 24-year-old, who is the nephew of rugby league royalty Wally Lewis, played one of his best NRL games on Saturday when he starred in a narrow loss to the Roosters.
Lewis scored two first-half tries after being called into the side at the expense of battling No.7 Kyle Flanagan.
But Wide World of Sportsreports Lewis won’t be offered a new deal at Belmore when his contract runs out in October.
He’s played only three NRL games this season, and played 13 last year, having struggled badly to retain a place in the team.
The Bulldogs have Matt Burton coming to the club, and now it’s up to coach Trent Barrett to decide who partners Burton in the halves.
If Lewis leaves it will be a battle between Flanagan, Jake Averillo, and Brandon Wakeham for the role.
