Suli ran for 201 metres – the biggest haul of his career – and was the difference in a tight struggle won 19-18 by the Sea Eagles.<\/p>\n
Suli is contracted to Manly for 2022 but the club has given him permission to shop the market.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Up until last weekend, he seemed certain to link with the Dragons – but rival clubs were quick to notice his barnstorming display against the Raiders.<\/p>\n
His manager Mario Tartak's phone was running hot all weekend and suddenly, the 23-year-old centre is very much a man in demand.<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nTHOMPSON TO STAY AT BULLDOGS<\/h2>\n
Bulldogs<\/a> boss Phil Gould has met with star forward Luke Thompson and the pair have confirmed that – despite rumours to the contrary – he is going nowhere.<\/p>\n "Luke assured me he wants to remain a Bulldog," Gould told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n "Despite the rumours, Luke has never been offered to other NRL clubs and the Bulldogs have not been active in trying to move Luke to another club.<\/p>\n "The Bulldogs were recently approached by an NRL club, wanting to buy out Luke's contract.<\/p>\n "We simply passed this enquiry onto his manager for consideration.<\/p>\n "But he is happy and we want to keep him so case closed."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n There are few more talented and versatile forwards running around in the NRL than Billy Magoullis.<\/p>\n But the former Newtown cult hero can't get a run at Cronulla – he got six minutes last weekend – and rival clubs are showing interest in grabbing him up.<\/p>\n Forwards who can work the ball are few and far between in the modern game – and Magoullis can also play hooker, back-row or five-eighth – making him a unique proposition.<\/p>\n He'll be running around for a rival NRL club in 2022 – the only question right now is which one.<\/p>\n The poor old Tigers<\/a> can't take a trick at the moment.<\/p>\n Thumped by Cronulla last weekend in a loss that has all but ended their finals hopes, they are also struggling to attract new talent.<\/p>\n The club was keen to lure Bulldogs forward Luke Thompson (see above) but he knocked them back.<\/p>\n So too did promising Roosters back-rower Egan Butcher, who scored the opening try in the impressive win over the Dragons last weekend.<\/p>\n The Tigers had been chasing Butcher for some time but he and his brother Nat have both re-signed at the Roosters.<\/p>\n Tim Sheens WILL whip the Tigers into shape when he gets into town – but he is still stuck in the north of England trying to get a flight home.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/em><\/strong> clicking here!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
