Storm premiership winner Josh Addo-Carr has reportedly recieved a monster offer to link with the Canterbury Bulldogs on a four-year deal in a move that will anger the Tigers.

The incumbent Blues and Kangaroos winger has committed to remain at the Storm for the final year of his contract in 2021, before moving home to Sydney, but Danny Weidler revealed the shock new development, which has blown the Tigers out of the water.

“Bulldogs table a four year deal for Josh Addo-Carr. Above $2 million,” Weidler tweeted.

Addo-Carr had reportedly already agreed to a handshake agreement to link with his old club the Tigers on a four-year deal.

The development is the latest in a long line of instances where the Tigers have been treated like doormats by rivals clubs and players.

Arguably the fastest player in the game, Addo-Carr would be a massive addition to Trent Barrett’s new-look squad at the Bulldogs.

Addo-Carr has scored 79 tries in 105 games in the NRL for the Tigers and Storm since his debut in 2016 and won two premierships with Melbourne in 2017 and 2020.

The brilliant finisher has also scored eight tries in nine Origins for the Blues and one try in two Tests for the Kangaroos.

Yes, please! 500K for a game breaker like him is a bargain, IMO.

But in regards to "blowing the 9th placed team out of the water", isn't that what they, allegedly, offered him?

Close to that I think... guess it depends on how much above 2mil it actually is.

I'm not even sure why they're still talking about Wests given that we already knows he does not want to play for them

This is becoming another Latrell kind of story, I’m just hoping they are not using us to bump up his price .
I have a feeling he will end up at Souths.

I still get a sense he may really want to try his hand at fullback... I mean, he's done it all on the wing, and he's got the skillset and effort level to make it as a fullback... not just for the money but a new challenge

I hope you’re right but money can be very persuasive.

That also works in our favour given we have several more players coming off contract at the end of the 21 season

so Souths have officially signed TauTau Moga. The Plot Thickens

You'd have to think its a first grade signing as they have decent depth of fringe first graders.

Definitely, otherwise he'd of just stayed with Newcastle. Good player on his day but very unlikely to last a full season given his history of injuries

Tigers are really trying to lift Broncos spirits by giving them hope they won't double down on the spoon in 2021.
