So just how bad is the Bulldogs’ salary cap crisis?
Here’s an example - talented halfback Moses Mbye.
Well spoken and a handy player, Mbye isn’t in the top half dozen halfbacks in the NRL.
Yet next season, he will be on $700,000, plus a third party deal, plus 20 per cent of the salary cap increase - giving him a grand total of around $900,000.
The youngster simply isn’t worth that money and it’s little wonder the Bulldogs are trying to move him on.
But no club will pay anything near that amount for Mbye, leaving the Bulldogs in a pickle.
