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