Josh Dugan is plan B for the Roosters if they miss out on James Tedesco according to reports.
James Tedesco is getting a competitive offer from Tigers, and if he leaves it's he hardly can say the position or the money was a factor. Dugan on the other hand is miles apart on $$$ and what position he plays which might push him to the Roosters.
"Josh Dugan is apparently seriously weighing up his options before inking a new deal with the Dragons, with the fullback being chased by cross-town rivals, the Sydney Roosters.
"The Roosters are preparing to poach Josh Dugan from the Dragons,"
reports The Daily Telegraph.
It's believed the Roosters are looking at Dugan as an option should they miss out on his Origin teammate James Tedesco, who is also off-contract.
The Roosters have a number of backs off-contract next season including Michael Gordon, Daniel Tupou, Shaun Kenny-Dowall and Blake Ferguson.
The rep star has yet to accept the Dragons offer for next season and there appears to be an underlying issue regarding the deal - Dugan wants to be paid as a fullback, while the Dragons see him more as a centre.
"The interesting thing is that the Dragons put a deadline on him," Triple M's Brent Read from The Australian told Dead Set Legends earlier this season."
