Jeremy Marshall-King has hit the open market as he considers his long-term playing future. Canterbury’s indifferent start to the season has not stopped rival clubs from circling the Bulldogs hooker. The Dolphins, Dragons and Warriors have expressed an interest in the 26-year-old who appears on the move at season’s end.
Marshall-King has the upper hand in negotiations given he has an option his way to remain at Canterbury for 2023.
But the impending arrival of Reed Mahoney at Canterbury means Marshall-King is unlikely to want to stay at the club given Mahoney will naturally be the first choice rake. Mahoney can also can get through the 80 minutes.

The Bulldogs have indicated they would like to keep him but are facing an up-hill battle to retain his services.
A host of clubs have come knocking. Marshall-King’s brother Benji shares a close relationship with Dolphins coach Wayne Bennett while the Warriors are on the lookout to add some cover at hooker for Wayde Egan.
The Dolphins are yet to nail down a first choice hooker opening the door for Marshall-King to become the starting rake in their inaugural season. He also looms as perfect bench utility given his ability to play at hooker or in the halves.
The Dragons depth significantly drops off at the dummy half position after veteran Andrew McCullough. McCullough is in the final year of his deal next season.
Marshall-King has until June 30 to decide if he will remain at the Bulldogs for next season. He has been a mainstay for the Bulldogs since joining the club in 2018.
