Parramatta Eels have drawn near to signing Canterbury Bulldogs centre midfield star Maika Luai following the collapse of Volkan Erdengiz talks. The club named Luai in its team list as the Tigers wrestle with internal problems caused by his leaving. Sources claim a $1.2 million offer is on the table, intended to bring Luai home in a homecoming contract. The move could see Luai rejoin his original NRL side, while the Bulldogs seek to rebuild after the loss of a key playmaker.
