Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs back rower Jacob Preston is set to test his worth on the open market for a 2028 contract when he can speak to rivals in four months' time. The publication spoke directly with Preston's agent, Wayde Rushton, to confirm the contract status of the future representative star. “Jake would love to stay at the Dogs, but the figure they came up with and the one we are looking at are a fair way apart,” Rushton told Wide World of Sports. Preston will line-up for the Bulldogs in a must-win clash against the South Sydney Rabbitohs on Friday to keep their finals hopes alive. The club sits in ninth, with remaining games against the Bunnies, St George, Penrith and Brisbane to round out the home and away season.
