Canterbury Bulldogs' frightening salary cap reality blocking their recruitment drive

14 players off contract. $800,000 spare in their salary cap.

It’s the frightening reality dooming Canterbury’s recruitment drive, according to Channel Seven reporter Josh Massoud.

‘’If you thought their salary cap was bad this year, wait until you see it in 2019 and 2020,’’ Massoud told the Big Sports Breakfast.

‘’The figure I’ve heard is that Canterbury have (14) players off contract and they only have $800,000 to spend next year.

‘’About half their squad is taking up about 90 per cent of their salary cap for next year, so they somehow have to fit 12 players into $800,000.’’

Back End Dessie strikes again !!!!

 

[HappilyManly]

Dez was on his own at Manly, but Castle was meant to be providing the oversight at the Dogs

 

[The Who]

I don't want DESpicable back. The way he left was unprofessional, to say the least, and then poaching staff and players was un-Manly. He doesn't deserve to represent our great club.
On to the Dogs: I read the Morris twins are on $700,000 each and their contracts are up. That will save the Dogs $1.4m next year but they won't be able to replace the twins with such quality three-quarters. At 32 the twins will be lucky to find a club willing to pay half their current salary and offer contracts for more than two years.

F*ck Hasler.

Some coaches never learn
From player recruitment to team selections

Good to see he learned from his mistakes at Manly. I recall "Hoops" on 360 talking about back ended deals and he said "that's how you win". Someone tell that to the Dogs haha

Josh Massoud and Sporting News,2 reputable sources of facts

Karma.
Does anyone remember Mr Invisible the troll from the kennel who used to tell us that Des would win them at least 2 premierships

He was a bit of fun though, and still on the Kennel as one of their admins!!

Not a great article, not clear and confusing. 12 players to resign on $800,000. As noted earlier the Morris twins on 700k each and Eastwood & Tolman on 1.5m between them. The article should read, 14 players to resign on maybe $3.7m. Not as big a disaster as the headline states. It would have been good for the journo to disclose which players are on back-ended contracts for next year.

He’s well out of sight on this site.

I appreciate Hasler's past efforts but I'd take Ivan Cleary any day of the week.

Could anyone referring to a Massoud article please put a clear warning in the title?

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The prick should be burnt at the stake!!

To be fair that assumes that every player is paid the same amount next year as they are this year....which we know does not happen with back ended contracts (as an example Foran might be on 300k this year and 700k next year)

The numbers are probably made up anyway so i can understand why they weren’t too concerned about how they were presented

 

[DUFFMAN]

Don't really want him back but if he did happen to become our head coach then that all he is, let the CEO look after the contracts.
That goes for any coach we have, keep away from back ended contracts. They may be great in the short term but that is part of the reason we are in the mess we are now.
