Bulldogs-bound Lafai to become next Dragon to depart

Hot on the heels of the exits of James Graham and Issac Luke, Tim Lafai is set to leave St George Illawarra and could even play against them next week.

www.smh.com.au

Tim Lafai is set for a Canterbury homecoming that could result in him playing against St George Illawarra next weekend.

Lafai is poised to become the latest Dragon to leave the club before his contract expires, following the likes of James Graham and Issac Luke in recent weeks. Winger Jason Saab has also been agitating for a release, while Tristan Sailor is frustrated by a lack of opportunities at the Red V.

The Bulldogs are also eyeing Canberra’s Nick Cotric for next year, and are hopeful of retaining off-contract stars Adam Elliott and Kieran Foran.

The Red V continue to consider replacements for English international Graham, with Penrith’s Kaide Ellis on the shortlist.

Another Panther, Jed Cartwright, has signed a three-year deal to join South Sydney.

Several clubs are keeping an eye on sacked Bulldog Corey Harawira-Naera.
The Roosters and Tigers are monitoring the outcome closely.
