Canterbury are the latest club keeping tabs on dropped Knights centre Jesse Ramien, joining both the Roosters and the Cowboys for the in-demand speedster.
Bulldogs representatives have met with the talented centre and his manager on Thursday in hopes of adding Ramien to their centre stocks, according to Wide World of Sports.
Ramien has been highly sought after since parting ways with Newcastle last week, but won't be able to play in the league until next year as the deadline for signing players for this season was June 30.
Whilst the Bulldogs will have the money to spend on the exciting centre, both big-spenders Sydney and North Queensland will plan to land his signature.
Ramien became frustrated with the Knights with a majority of the teams game style favouring star Kalyn Ponga on the left side while Ramien felt stranded playing on the right.
A move to Canterbury may just suit the 22-year-old, with the Bulldogs struggling to impact the scoreboard this season.
Ramien is also believed to be tempted by a short-term deal with a Super League side in the UK, as the deadline for signing players for the current season is this week.
Knights could swap Ramien for Harawera-Neara. Bulldogs have a need for good young players but they also have lots of second rowers. Knights could see getting back a player for the release of Ramien as a win especially a player such as CHN. He is still young and will get better but he could be used off the bench this year for some really good impact.
Why the hell do the Roosters want Jesse Ramien? Maybe so no other club can get him. They already have an international centre pairing and he would be wasted on the wing. It is sheer greed. Come to the Dragons young fella, you will be well looked after.
I keep hearing how bulldogs got left with a major salary cap issue and have no money to spend until 2021 but yet they have money to spend on ramien, koroisau and in the market for anyone thats available.
The roosters get whoever they want.
Look at the roster.
Means nothing 21 when the $15 million salary cap ๐ฉ bomb out later in the season ๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป
A good reason the Roosters are chasing Ramien is to fill the hole Latrelle Mitchell will create after he takes up a better offer elsewhere.
Makes sense.
