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.
