Josh Addo-Carr's time at the Bulldogs appears to be heading towards a messy conclusion, with reports emerging of Canterbury making a bold move to cut ties with the star winger.
According to news.com.au, the Bulldogs have taken steps to terminate Addo-Carr's contract, with the speedster set to face a pivotal meeting with the board next week.
The Sydney Morning Herald has revealed that Addo-Carr is facing the axe following a drug scandal that resulted in his suspension from the club's first final in nearly a decade.
The 29-year-old was recently slapped with a breach notice after testing positive for cocaine during a roadside drug test, leading to his uncertain future at the club.
Addo-Carr is scheduled to appear before the Bulldogs' board on Thursday to plead his case and potentially salvage his career with the team.
Sources close to the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity, have indicated that the club is disappointed with Addo-Carr's alleged actions, which they believe have tarnished the club's reputation and values.
As the Bulldogs gear up to make a tough decision regarding Addo-Carr's fate, the winger finds himself in a precarious position, with his future in the sport hanging in the balance.
It remains to be seen whether Addo-Carr can convince the board to give him another chance or if he will be forced to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Only time will tell how this situation plays out in the unpredictable world of Rugby League.
