CANTERBURY’S Raelene Castle has stood down as chief executive of the club.
Considered as one of the most game’s most respected administrators, Castle has made the decision to resign, but will remain in the role until the end of the NRL season.
The New Zealand-born Castle was the first woman to run a club in 15 years when she was appointed to replace current NRL boss Todd Greenberg following his departure from the Dogs in 2013.
Castle was contracted to the Bulldogs until the end of 2018, having only re-signed a new two-year deal last season.
The club will commence an immediate search for a replacement, but want Castle to be part of the hand-over.
Speculation within the game has been rife that tension between Castle and chairman Ray Dib had increased in recent weeks over issues relating to an email complaint directed at Dib and a select group of chairmen for an apparent breach of salary cap negotiation protocols after they had met with the Rugby League Players Assoctiation.
The Bulldogs are expected to formally announce Castle’s departure via a press release today.
