The struggling Bulldogs have launched a bid to sign Raiders star Aidan Sezer - and they want him now.

Bulldogs coach Dean Pay held a secret meeting with Sezer in Canberra this week and is working on obtaining a release in coming weeks.

Sezer started the season on the bench for the Raiders and is believed to be open to a return to the club where he started his career in the Under 20s in 2010.

The Bulldogs, yet to win a game after two rounds, have identified five-eighth as one of their major problems.

Pay started with Matt Frawley in the key position alongside Kieran Foran in the opening two rounds but has given Jeremy Marshall-King a chance this weekend against Penrith.

The main stumbling block to the move could be the close friendship between Pay and Raiders coach Ricky Stuart.

Pay was Stuart’s assistant in recent seasons and will not go ahead with the push to sign Sezer unless Stuart gives him the green light.
