SALARY cap pressure has cost the Canterbury Bulldogs one of their best young forwards.
Matt Doorey, 22, a former Australian Schoolboys star and NSW under-20s second-rower, has been snapped up by the Parramatta Eels.

It’s a huge signing for the Eels following the loss of edge forwards Isaiah Papali’i to Wests Tigers and Marata Niukore to the New Zealand Warriors.
Doorey played 13 NRL games for the Bulldogs last year.

He joins Parramatta having been highly recommended by his former coach Trent Barrett, who is now an assistant to Brad Arthur at the Eels.

The Bulldogs already have more than 30 players on contract and will have to lose at least another two before the start of next season.

Lol Fuck off Buzz. ‘Huge signing’ my arsehole. Good luck to him but boy, other than laying down for penalties and going off for HIA’s, he really didn’t do much with us.

Parramatta Eels poach Bulldogs generational forward
By: Buzz Rothfield | Daily Telegraph

The long-standing bitter rivalry between the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and Parramatta Eels has added a new dimension with young generational forward Matt Doorey defecting to his arch-rivals effective immediately.

In what represents a major failure for General Manager of Football Phil Gould, questions are being raised about Canterbury's questionable recruitment and retention commitee. The club has already released the likes of Reimis Smith, Nick Meaney and Matt Doorey who is expected to kick on at a rival club. The 22-year-old is not just another young rampaging forward - he is touted the future of the NSW Blues and Australian forward pack. A leader in his own right - all 16 NRL clubs are understandbly shocked that the Bulldogs would make this decision given how light and poor their forward pack is shaping to be next season.

No doubt incoming coach Cameron Ciraldo will struggle to get this pack firing.

The Bulldogs are left to pick up the pieces and hope that this decision won't come back to haunt them. The club has experienced letting rugby legends leave. Look no further than future immortal Johnathan Thurston - could Doorey be another JT situation?

Time will tell, I think so.
