Parramatta Eels have edged nearer to signing Canterbury Bulldogs centre centre Maika Luai subsequent to the collapse of Volkan Erdengiz deal talks. The club included Luai in its team list as the Tigers wrestle with internal problems caused by his leaving. Reports indicate a $1.2 million offer is on offer, meant to see Luai return in a homecoming pact. The switch could see Luai return to his starting NRL team, while the Bulldogs aim to rebuild after the loss of a vital playmaker.
