Bulldogs and Dolphins in talks with Apa Twidle

Parramatta are facing a battle to keep boom rookie Apa Twidle.

Sport Confidential can reveal Twidle has attracted interest from three NRL rivals in the wake of his stunning two-try debut against the Wests Tigers on Easter Monday.

Twidle’s management has fielded an inquiry from Phil Gould’s Bulldogs and the Dolphins, while Mal Meninga’s Perth Bears are also watching the young gun closely.

Twidle is off-contract at season’s end and has been offered a development deal by the Eels for 2027.

But the Eels may have to up the ante following Twidle’s brilliant baptism against the Tigers, which has piqued the interest of NRL suitors.

The 21-year-old Kiwi is one of the most versatile players in the league, capable of playing wing, centre and in the halves.

  • He won't play fullback at the dogs or dolphins. Perth are now interested.lets see how he goes after a few more games. Some fans jizzing in their pants after he scores 2 trys against 12 men. He won't get much more money if he leaves. If i was apa i'd take the development deal and go from there. He's got a better chance playing week to week at parra.

"With new rules, due to DCE, he can't just say I'm reniging my deal. But let's be fair there are ways around it. He signed for Flanno, he has a clause in his deal. If he really wants to, who knows maybe he's content with his choice, he can get out if…"
