The Dragons have reportedly offered Addin Fonua-Blake a whopping $4.5 million contract on the same day the Bulldogs appeared to leave the race. The Bulldogs appeared interested a few weeks ago in the Warriors forward's signature when Phil Gould met with Fonua-Blake after the international star wanted to leave the Warriors.
Fonua-Blake is set to leave the Warriors at the end of 2024 after asking the club for a release from his contract two years early. The Tigers appeared frontrunners to secure him with room in the salary cap and the ability to push for the $1.2 million reported asking price.
