Phil Gould, the Canterbury Bulldogs GM of Football, has addressed recent rumors concerning players Reed Mahoney and Toby Sexton.
Reports surfaced on Monday asserting that halfback Sexton might leave the Bulldogs at season's end, while hooker Mahoney had been granted permission to speak with other teams.
These rumors prompted significant speculation within the club as they head into their second bye of the season.
Reed Mahoney, a former club skipper, had an impressive season in 2024, contributing to the Bulldogs' progression to the NRL Finals series and even earning a spot in the extended squad for the QLD Maroons as a backup for Harry Grant.
Nonetheless, Mahoney's name has been frequently linked to potential departures, raising eyebrows among fans and analysts.
Gould's clarification comes at a crucial time for the club, as stability and focus are paramount heading into the next phase of the season.
