The unprofessional manner in which the Bulldogs continue to pay for players playing against them during a critical rebuild phase is slowing down and not speeding up the battling clubs ambitions to return to finals football.
The club would have us members and fans believe that it is a necessary element of fast forwarding the undoing of the previous administrations salary cap errors.
However I believe, to a point it is slowing down the process, especially when we receive little to zero recompense for the players we discard.
A lot of players just like other people, not surprisingly value security in their contracts as some of them actually have a family to consider.
Bulldogs continue to increasingly devalue the surety of player contracts by continuously shopping players to other clubs.
Eastwood was an example of a player that had committed and invested his family to the club and the area. And rightfully so he refused to budge. He could have secured a 2 year contract with a new club with half being paid by the Bulldogs, but did not want to relocate his family when his wife and kids were settled and did not want to leave.
It does the Dogs alot of harm when players on the market are not convinced that we will even honor the contract length. Consider that we are signing up sons and daughters and wives aswell as the player in some cases.
How much extra do you think players will ask from the Bulldogs because they dont have confidence that they can build a life and a playing career at the club?
But thats not all. Not only have the club sullied our reputation as a club to trust and have confidence in, we also fail to miserably when it comes to getting anything in return for an early released player. 200 seats to the next 'home' game we relocate at Suncorp anyone? *rolls eyes*
Im not asking for a like for like replacement or even a promising junior, given the clubs stupidity in being transparent to everyone that we are in desperate situation, just some form of recompense. 200 seats at Suncorp anyone?
The list of early releases with us paying part wage grows again, and even bottom of the league clubs refuse to parlay when we are releasing contracted rep players to them.
The most professional clubs refuse to release a player early without compensation and rightfully so.
Newcastle refused to release Meaney and Cogger to us early and then agitated for Klemmers early release when they werent even aloud to table a contract.
Talk about getting bent over... we seemingly in fact willingly and needlessly bend over without asking for lube. Or even a bit of spit
