The Canterbury Bulldogs are facing a tough decision regarding star winger Josh Addo-Carr after a recent off-field incident has put his contract in jeopardy.
Despite being locked in with the team until 2025, Addo-Carr's positive drug test has forced the board to issue a show cause notice and consider terminating his agreement.
Reports from The Sydney Morning Herald suggest that Addo-Carr will have to plead his case to the board in a meeting next week, where he must prove he deserves to stay with the team despite the controversy surrounding him.
The incident, which occurred right before the Bulldogs' return to the NRL finals, has caused quite a stir and led to Addo-Carr withdrawing from the lineup for the crucial game against the Manly Sea Eagles.
In a series of events that can only be described as a rollercoaster ride, director of football Phil Gould initially defended Addo-Carr on social media before it was revealed that the player had provided misleading information to the club.
Now, the Bulldogs must decide whether to keep faith in their star winger or cut ties in light of the controversy.
This decision could have major implications for the team's future success and reputation in the league.
