Bulldogs-bound Lafai to become next Dragon to depart – Sydney Morning Herald
Hot on the heels of the exits of James Graham and Issac Luke, Tim Lafai is set to leave St George Illawarra and could even play against them next week.
Tim Lafai is set for a Canterbury homecoming that could result in him playing against St George Illawarra next weekend.
Lafai is poised to become the latest Dragon to leave the club before his contract expires, following the likes of James Graham and Issac Luke in recent weeks. Winger Jason Saab has also been agitating for a release, while Tristan Sailor is frustrated by a lack of opportunities at the Red V.
Lafai began his NRL career at the Bulldogs, where he made 74 first-grade appearances. The blue and whites are attempting to bolster their back line and are keen for him to join immediately. The deal is for the rest of 2020 with the potential for a longer arrangement if he settles in at Belmore.
If the Dragons can reach a termination settlement before Tuesdays team lists are named, Lafai could face his former club in next Saturdays clash between the sides at WIN Stadium.
