The Canterbury Bulldogs are eyeing up powerhouse prop Stefano Utoikamanu to bolster their already impressive forward pack and make a serious push for the premiership in 2025.
Coach Cameron Ciraldo is keeping a close eye on the situation, with reports linking the Wests Tigers prop to a potential move to the Bulldogs.
Despite strong interest from the Melbourne Storm, the Bulldogs have reportedly made a late bid to snatch up the hulking prop, offering him a lucrative five-year deal.
With the recent signing of Sitili Tupouniua from the Roosters, the Bulldogs have the cap space to add a big man like Utoikamanu to their mobile pack, known for their tireless work ethic, slick ball movement, and top-notch fitness levels.
Ciraldo is excited about the prospect of adding Utoikamanu to the team, acknowledging his talent and potential to make a significant impact.
If Utoikamanu decides to join the Bulldogs, they will welcome him with open arms and integrate him seamlessly into their squad of promising young talents.
The Bulldogs are confident in their current roster and are focused on developing their players while also bringing in new recruits who can contribute to the team's success.
