The Tigers and the Raiders are locked in negotiations about hooker Josh Hodgson joining the Concord club immediately, while the Bulldogs have eyes on Bulldogs star Nick Cotric.
EELS TARGET FORMER NSW BLUES STAR
Brent Read reported on Triple M that the Bulldogs may look to strike a deal with the Eels over the former Blues and Kangaroos star to help ease salary cap pressure on the club.
“Nick Cotric has been linked with Parramatta a while ago,” Read said on Triple M.
“He is on a big deal at Canterbury.
“My understanding is that he is still on Parramatta’s radar and there is still a chance that something could happen there with Nick Cotric.
“When you think about that Parramatta side Blake Ferguson has left and Maika Sivo injured his knee in the latter stages of the year and may miss the start of next year.
“They are really short in the outside backs and Nick Cotric is on their radar and there is the potential for a deal to be done there.
“Canterbury have a really tight salary cap. With Canterbury’s salary cap and the way it is placed their top five players, none of them are spine players.
“Spine is a real weakness at that club and it needs to be reshaped. The cap needs to be reshaped and the squad needs to be reshaped.
“The only way you can do that is by moving players who are attractive to other clubs and Nick Cotric is one of those guys.”
