Bulldogs breach salary cap

The Canterbury Bulldogs have breached the NRL salary cap.

The Bulldogs say they have identified a minor breach of the 2016 salary cap and have self-reported this to the NRL.

“The Bulldogs hold the salary cap in the highest of regards and once we identified a potential breach position that we could not rectify for the 2016 season, we reported this to the NRL,” Bulldogs CEO Raelene Castle said.

“The cap position will not be finalised until the NRL have completed their Salary Cap audit process across all 16 NRL Clubs”.

According to reports, the original figure of the breach is believed to have been aroudn AUS$160,000.

Canterbury are likely to face a hefty fine over the breach, not a loss of competition points.
