NRL: Bulldogs happy to let Idris off leash

Canterbury skipper Andrew Ryan has given NRL star Jamal Idris a licence to travel as the off-contract Bulldog continues to sort out his future.

Ryan is not concerned with the 20-year-old travelling to Newcastle and the Gold Coast to be wooed by rival teams vying for the most sought-after signature in league.

The Knights and the Titans have reportedly tabled very competitive offers to take Idris' services away from the Canterbury Bulldogs.

But Ryan says as far as the Bulldogs are concerned there is no problem whatsoever - as long as he keeps dominating opponents like he did to South Sydney's Greg Inglis last Sunday.

"It was his day off and he can do what he likes on his day off," Ryan said.

"If he's still producing on the field and on the training paddock and he's in the right head space, that's all we can ask.

"At the moment it's not affecting him. He's playing outstanding and that's all the signs we want to see.

"As long as that stuff's left to the side and it's not wearing him down at all."

Ryan said he hoped Idris' re-signing didn't turn into a media dhrcus, with the tireless second-rower and winger Steve Turner both reiterating their desire to see the game-breaking centre stay at Belmore.

"Everyone right throughout the club wants him to stay but at this stage he hasn't signed for us," Ryan said.

Turner added: "He's the talk of the town at the moment but all he can control and we can control is playing good football."
