Parramatta Eels are now nearer to signing Canterbury Bulldogs centre midfield star Maika Luai subsequent to the collapse of Volkan Erdengiz talks. The club named Luai in its team list as the Tigers struggle with team rifts caused by his departure. Reports indicate a $1.2 million offer is available, meant to see Luai return in a homecoming pact. The transfer would see Luai go back to his first NRL club, while the Bulldogs plan to rebuild after the loss of a vital playmaker.
