TRENT Hodkinson is prepared to sacrifice up to $150,000 a year to remain at Canterbury with the NSW State of Origin No.7 set to ignore offers of up to $750,000 a season to continue being a Bulldog.
Hodkinson's asking price to abandon Des Hasler and the Bulldogs skyrocketed to almost $800,000 a year last week when Aiden Sezer became the latest playmaker to be taken off the open market when he was sold to the Canberra Raiders on a three-year deal.
With star playmakers Kieran Foran (Eels), Daly Cherry-Evans (Titans), Adam Reynolds (Rabbitohs) and now Sezer all committed beyond this year, Hodkinson has become the hottest playmaking talent on the market.

The man who helped NSW break Queensland's Origin stranglehold joins Chris Sandow (Eels) and James Maloney (Roosters) as the last of the free-agent sixes-and-sevens left standing.
The Sunday Telegraph has been told it will take an offer of more than $750,000 a year to tempt the Parramatta junior, 26, to leave Belmore.
Hodkinson is willing to take "unders'' to stay with the team that has made two of the last three NRL grand finals.
Bulldogs CEO Raylene Castle described negotiations to retain Hodkinson as positive.
"Talks are ongoing,'' Castle said.
"And they have been progressing.''
Being hunted by both the Cronulla Sharks and Manly Sea Eagles, Hodkinson will recommit to the Bulldogs on a long term deal if they offer him upwards of $500,000 a year.
"He wants to stay,'' said a source close to Hodkinson.
"That is his home now and he wants to finish what he has started. He is a very loyal person and it is not just about money with him.''

Manly and Cronulla have both expressed interest in Hodkinson but will need to meet $750,000 a season to stand a chance of snaring the tattooed trend setter.
Hodkinson's former club the Sea Eagles are desperate for a quality half after losing both Cherry-Evans and Foran on multi-million dollar deals.
Cherry-Evans was signed by the Titans on a contract that averages out to be worth $1 million a year.
Hodkinson's agent gave little away when contacted for comment.
"We are just working through it at the moment,'' said high profile manager and former player Dave Riolo.
"He doesn't want to go anywhere but we are just working through all the bits and pieces right now. He is pretty happy where he is now and very happy to stay.''
The Raiders dropped out of the hunt to sign Hodkinson last week when Ricky Stuart signed Sezer to a three year deal in a move that left just three high profile playmakers unsigned beyond this year.
The Eels are in deep negotiations to re-sign Sandow and have the live-wire join recruit Foran in what could prove the club's best halves combination since Brett Kenny and Peter Sterling.
The future of Maloney remains clouded.
The former Origin five-eighth was rumoured to be on the outer last year with boom rookie Jackson Hastings discussed as Maloney's long term replacement.
The bombshell loss of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has forced the Roosters into a recruitment rethink and Maloney's experience may help his Bondi cause.
