The Canterbury Bulldogs are making significant changes to their roster, but there are reports of another player being forced out of the club.
Raymond Faitala-Mariner, who was named the club captain for the 2023 season, has been told to stay away from pre-season training.
This decision comes after his manager, Ernest Santone, revealed that the 30-year-old has been given permission to leave the club despite having two years left on his contract.
According to sources close to the club, Faitala-Mariner has been instructed to stay away from training as the Bulldogs prepare for the upcoming season.
The player has a reported $400,000 per year contract with two years remaining.
This development marks a brutal twist in Faitala-Mariner's relationship with the club, as he was expected to lead the team on the field in the upcoming season.
