Bulldogs statement on Lachlan Lewis​

Author bulldogs.com.au - Tue 14 Sep 2021, 06:59 PM

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have terminated the contract of Lachlan Lewis, effective immediately.

Bulldogs Chief Executive, Aaron Warburton, said:
"After issuing Lachlan a breach notice and following due process regarding his response, the club has decided to part ways with Lachlan, effective immediately. The Club is committed to supporting Lachlan during this time and we wish him all the best for the future."

For those wonder "why bother as Lachlan was leaving anyway", players are paid up until November (as a contract runs until end of NRL grand finals). By terminating him and Elliott now, that money is instantly available and Bulldogs do not need to pay them anything more.

It also is a subtle message to sponsors that the club runs the show, not them.
