The Titans are now willing to pay the value of his bonus payment in the form of an upgrade to his 2025 contract if he agrees to an extension with the Queensland-based club,but that offer hasn’t been enough to alleviate Pahulu’s concerns.

Pahulu and his management met with Hasler and Titans management last week to express their feelings and request permission to leave the club. They don’t have a formal offer on the table but the Bulldogs have expressed their interest in pursuing his services once they have a clear picture of where Pahulu’s immediate future lies.
