North Queensland are ramping up their pursuit of Melbourne star Dale Finucane.
The New South Wales representative is reportedly being chased by a number of clubs with Melbourne also keen to keep him in the sporting capital.
According to Brent Read on Triple M, Finucane is considered a top priority by the Cowboys and they are now willing to up their original two-year offer in a bid to lure him up to Townsville.
โItโs been well documented they put a two-year deal on the table for Dale Finucane. Iโve spoken to them this week, theyโve reached out to Finucaneโs camp and let him know they are willing to go to three years now,โ Read said.
โHeโs got a few clubs after him. Melbourne has put an offer in, heโs been linked to the Wests Tigers, heโs been linked with Canterbury a few other clubs.
Read went on to say that Finucane is after a long-term deal that may not be forthcoming.
โThe Cowboys are now willing to go to three years as a means to entice him across the line and get him to Townsville," said Read.
โInitially Daleโs management wanted a four-year deal, on huge money, that was never going to happen. Some clubs were talking about two years.โ
