The Canterbury Bulldogs have said "thanks, but no thanks" to a player swap deal for star winger Josh Addo-Carr, whose future in the game is uncertain following a breach notice from the NRL.
After failing two drug tests, Addo-Carr has been under intense scrutiny with speculation swirling about his next move and whether he will be released early from his contract with the Bulldogs.
Rumour has it that he could face a suspension of four matches and a hefty $15,000 fine, according to reports from News Corp.
With rumours circulating as early as last week about his potential departure from the club, it seems likely that the high-earning winger could be donning a new jersey sooner rather than later, possibly even before his contract runs out in 2025.
Reports suggest that the St George Illawarra Dragons tried to sweeten the deal with a player swap involving Mikaele Ravalawa, but the Bulldogs weren't biting.
