As new home for Graham
lowly position on the ladder.
Graham is on about $1 million next year and the Bulldogs would have to pay some of his freight to make him an attractive proposition to rival clubs. Aside from releasing Sam Kasiano to Melbourne, they have been unable to offload any of their other stars on back-ended contracts.
Greg Eastwood, Moses Mbye and Morris twins Brett and Josh would free up most cap space, but rivals are keeping their powder dry in the expectation there will be a fire sale at Belmore.
One player the Bulldogs wouldn’t have trouble shifting if he was to become available is form prop David Klemmer.
The Warriors are also keen on James Maloney if he becomes a free agent. The Cronulla playmaker is also contracted for next year, but feels he isn’t being paid his market worth.
Maloney made his name at the Warriors, helping to steer the side to a grand final during his stint across the Tasman. However, the Sharks won’t be letting him go unless a suitable replacement – Storm star Cooper Cronk is the signature they most crave – can be found.
With cash to splash, the Warriors are after Graham or Maloney as their marquee buy, as well as a couple of additional recruits to bolster their squad. The Sun-Herald
