Waiting for what? We have a lot of spots to fill and the sooner we start filling spots the better. They should already have an idea of who they want to sign and be targeting them. We have a bad habit of leaving it too long and having no choice but to fill our final roster spots with nobodies

Canterbury prop Luke Thompson has attracted interest from rival NRL clubs as his English-based manager looks to secure a long-term deal.

Canterbury prop Luke Thompson has attracted interest from rival NRL clubs after his English-based manager could not secure a new, long-term deal with the Bulldogs.
While wanting him to complete his contract at Belmore, Canterbury would consider releasing Thompson early should he procure a lengthy deal elsewhere.
The Bulldogs know there is interest in Thompson.
Thompson has two years remaining on his current Bulldogs deal but his agent, Andy Clarke, has been contacting NRL clubs trying to gauge their interest in the giant British forward from 2024.
The Daily Telegraph has been told Wests Tigers have shown a keenness in Thompson, who earns around $850,000 a season.
Luke Thompson’s manager is trying secure his clients long-term future in Australia.
Clarke wants to nail down Thompson’s long-term future in Australia. He contacted Canterbury hoping the club would agree to an extension.
Yet with a crammed salary cap, Canterbury was unable to tell Clarke they could extend Thompson beyond his current deal. Thompson has an option his way for 2023.
If he can obtain a four-year deal for Thompson, Clarke may ask Canterbury for a release.
The Daily Telegraph has been told Canterbury is right on its salary cap limit for next season.
Rival clubs would want Canterbury to pay around $350,000 a year to take Thompson.
Canterbury can send out its new-look squad next season with any financial pressure but would struggle to sign any new players - or even upgrade a player - given how tight their salary cap has become.
New Bulldogs general manager of football, Phil Gould, is closely monitoring and reworking the club’s cap. Thompson leads the club’s stats every week but an early departure would free up some cash.
Luke Thompson has been one of the Bulldogs best forwards in 2021, but a move would free up salary cap space. Picture: Alix Sweeney.

Canterbury is adamant Thompson is not being shopped around - it’s more Clarke trying to settle his client’s long-term NRL future.
Clarke is said to be looking “at all options”.
There are no guarantees Canterbury would allow Thompson to leave early but the club would carefully consider any approach.
There is at least one other Sydney club which has been approached about Thompson.
Thompson has told friends he wants to stay at Canterbury and be part of the expected revival next season.
The Bulldogs are open to moving a player or two while they work to reshape their salary cap. Canterbury has one spot open for next season.
Thompson has established himself among the finest forwards in the NRL desire playing in a wooden-spoon side. He overcame a bout of homesickness just last year.
In September last year, Thompson said: “I’m fully committed to the Bulldogs.”
Thompson will play prop in Canterbury’s match against Newcastle this Saturday on the Gold Coast

Would be happy with Thompson but he will need a pay cut
850k and untested in the NRL
Bulldogs are much worse than us with cap management and with all their new high cost signings no wonder they can't keep him
NRL should be monitoring that club very closely
They don't seem to have any control salary cap wise and when crap hits the fan they just offload players left right and center
It's wrong but hey this is the NRL
Certain clubs just do what they want
Sounds like he wants to stay but not an option because they are so bad with cap management

I don’t really know much about him. He played for Country U/18 when they toured GB which is on YouTube. In the 20 minutes I watched he didn’t do much but that was a few years back. I believe he will be in our system next year. I wouldn’t expect too much though although our recruiting seems more on point than in the past.
