Front load players contracts

Gus was talking about their sc situation so what I wrote was from what he said



“We were about $700,000 under the cap and there was another $900,000 we paid to players to leave, and then we had several players who did not play a game this year and that took up another million or so, so we were close to $3 million under the cap," Gould said.”
We've got a big beautiful club. Nobody footballs like the Bulldogs.
We're under the cap, way under, so far under. We're more under the cap than any club has ever been. Everybody wants to come and play for us.
People tell me, "You're the smartest person in all football". They tell me all the time.

You only have to look at the roster during that time to know we were front loading contracts and bringing future payments forward. Cause there is no way you could pay the players we had and get anywhere near the salary cap.

Dogs are under no doubt about it.

Only 18 months ago everyone was laughing at their shitty roster. Looks like crap, it is crap.

Have heard Selwyn Cobbo -> Raiders being rumoured.

Don't get me wrong, great player and all but I don’t think we need him. Could be looking at it through green eyes but with the way our backline have been playing this year, I wouldn’t drop any of them.
I doubt it. If it's true seems more of a 'keep em honest' bid. Great player but we need someone to replace papa first

But you cannot believe a thing Gus says

Good move if he’s half as good as his brother

He's not. He's also clearly an absolute f**kwit.

Although tbh the whole family seems unhinged. I'd imagine the more of them you have, the more problems they cause too.

Cobbo was being talked up as a $1M player a few years ago with reports some Sydney clubs were after him but he ultimately signed a "lesser" deal with the Broncos to stay in SEQ.

Now hes all but unwanted by Brisbane and will need to take a reduced deal to move to Sydney anyway.

Few years ago? I read an article a couple months back that he was seeking 900k for whoever signs him for 2026.
