Caleb Navale catches attention of Canterbury Bulldogs amid contract talks

Manly Sea Eagles forward Caleb Navale is drawing interest from the Canterbury Bulldogs as he heads into contract negotiations. Despite being regarded as a top young forward and showcasing his talent during this year's Rugby League World Cup, his future with Manly remains uncertain. In his last three games of the season, Navale contributed significantly off the bench, including a standout performance where he made 160 metres against St George Illawarra. The Bulldogs are looking to bolster their forward options, particularly with their lock position needing upgrades. Manly is reportedly keen to retain Navale, though their salary cap situation may complicate those efforts.
