You mean apart from getting rid of the CEO, coach and chairman that created the mess?

The new team have come in and have a lot of work to do, if they can improve the clubs fortunes by doing this why shouldn't they?
Is the same board still at the Dogs?

Could be wrong but I’m pretty sure their 2017 contracts counted on the cap.

You would be correct.

We also got the retroactive cap penalty for misclaimed third party deals as a consequence.

Toddy is a piece of shit and he loves the dogs so I assume he will let them get away with this.

I remember Stewart and Matai got paid last year for doing nothing.
Just as on the field NRL doesn't do consistency.
I reckon Toddy will approve just like Watmough

Maybe not. Toddy did sign Hasler to the Dogs and look how that ended up.:oops:

Sad / stupid / funny part is that if the Dogs get this through and manage to clear the likes of Woods the Morris twins and Mbye as well, you know they'll just go to market with more stupid back ended, over inflated deals for another set of useless nuffies or worse still, they'll throw stupid money at a contracted player to entice them out of their current deal.

The types of players who could really dig the dogs out of a hole are all pretty much tied up for next year so they'll have no other choice really.

They've effectively learned nothing from two decades of terrible salary cap management.

Not true they have Cogger as a half next year, they are in a strong position.

The new board and management have literally come out and said they won't be back-ending contracts in the way that had been done by prior management. LINK.

Foran, even if fit, was always a terrible purchase.

The company he kept alone should have sent massive alarm bells off.

It’s not like Hasler had a track record of back ending contracts and crippling a football team with poor recruitment strategies in the past.

Bulldogs were completely blindsided
