Perth Bears target Corey Horsburgh after failing to sign Junior Paulo, who seeks a $900,000 per season deal.
The Perth Bears have made Canberra Raiders forward Corey Horsburgh their priority after they didn't land the signature of Eels forward Junior Paulo.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the Bears will attempt to sign Horsburgh to lure him away from the Raiders.
The reason negotiations have failed is that Junior Paulo is seeking a two-year deal worth $900,000 a season.
The 18th NRL club has "scoffed" at the asking price, and Paulo and his management did not like Perth's counteroffer.
