Statement from Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Chairman Adam Driussi regarding Josh Addo-Carr contract termination.
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Football Club today announces the termination of Josh Addo-Carr's playing contract, effective immediately. This decision was not made lightly and follows careful consideration by the Board.
Josh has been a significant part of our Club over the past three seasons. During this time, he has provided many memorable moments for our Members and fans. We understand Josh's popularity with our passionate supporter base, and we share their disappointment that his time with the Club has ended this way.
However, this season has demonstrated the importance of building a culture based on clear standards and values. While the NRL Integrity Unit has completed its investigation and imposed a four-match suspension, the Club views the combination of the failed drug test and subsequent lack of transparency as serious breaches of Josh's contractual obligations and our Club's standards.
Supporting our players remains a fundamental priority for our Club, with comprehensive welfare programs that go well beyond just football. While we will always stand by our players through difficult times, we can only do this effectively when there is complete trust and transparency.
We wish Josh and his family well for the future. Our welfare team remains available to Josh and his family during this transition.
The Club will not be making any further comment on this matter at this time.

I'd have both as our wingers.
He needs to be a priority signing.
With the coin we have, our starting wingers next year should be JAC and Vunivalu.
We would instantly have one of the best backlines in the NRL.
We can only dream
Yes we can.
To be honest, I'm not overly confident in this club signing high calibre players.
Me neither tbh
The current nsw and aus winger not high calibre enougn for you?
That's one in how many years?
In saying that, did we sign him before or after he got picked for NSW?
Yeah we signed Lomax as virtually a guy who's been relegated from his preferred position for what was considered underperforming.
He was on the outer with his coach and captain.
Theres no way on this green Earth we'd have been able to land the current Lomax . This signing is the equivalent to finding a scratchie in the newsagent carpark and scratching it to find you've won the 100k. For all the Arthur hate, warranted or not , he did see something in Lomax and that bit of love shown to him ignited him. He had a point to prove to Flanno that worked wonders for us.
100% Wiz
can he play hooker
