The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have found themselves in trouble with a $100,000 breach of the 2016 NRL Salary Cap hanging over the club.
Josh Massoud broke the news for the Seven Network last night, revealing the club had self-reported themselves, meaning they are likely to avoid any breach of competition points.
Bulldogs CEO Raelene Castle spoke following the revelations stating, “The Bulldogs hold the salary cap in the highest of regards and once we identified a potential breach position that we could not rectify for the 2016 season, we reported this to the NRL.
“The cap position will not be finalised until the NRL have completed their Salary Cap audit process across all 16 NRL Clubs.”
The club are likely to be fined the amount of their breach after what has been a turbulent start to the off-season.
The coaching staff at Belmore has undergone massive change due to questions over Des Hasler’s capabilities to coach the ‘Dogs of War’.
Recruitment officer Noel Cleal, mind coach John Novak, sprint coach Clayton Kearney, sports scientist Liz Martin and Hasler’s long-time assistant coach Kelly Egan have all made way.
Warren McDonnell replaces Cleal as the club’s recruitment manager from the Wests Tigers, while former Eels and Rabbitohs halfback David Penna joins Hasler’s staff. Penna has previously worked under Geoff Toovey at Manly before shifting to Redfern in 2016 as Souths’ Holden Cup coach.
All eyes are now on the Kennel with plenty of pressure placed on the club as they sight a top four finish.
