Dragons Propose Blockbuster Swap Deal to Land Josh Addo-Carr Amid Drug Test Controversy
Sydney, Australia – In a shocking move, the St. George Illawarra Dragons have reportedly offered a blockbuster swap deal to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, aiming to secure the services of star winger Josh Addo-Carr, who is currently earning a staggering $550,000 per week. This proposed trade comes as Addo-Carr faces significant career uncertainty following a failed drug test and a formal breach notice issued by the NRL.
Sources close to the situation reveal that Addo-Carr’s position with the Bulldogs is on thin ice, with the club preparing to grant him permission to leave and pursue offers from rival teams as early as this week. The Dragons are looking to capitalize on the situation, hoping to bolster their attacking lineup with the electric speed and game-changing ability Addo-Carr is known for.
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have been reeling from Addo-Carr’s off-field issues, with the failed drug test casting a shadow over his future. The NRL’s breach notice only adds fuel to the fire, leaving the club in a difficult position as they weigh the consequences of retaining their marquee player versus cutting ties.
The proposed deal, which would see a player swap involving key Bulldogs assets, could provide both clubs with an opportunity for fresh starts. For the Dragons, landing a player of Addo-Carr’s caliber would be a significant boost to their 2024 campaign, while the Bulldogs may look to rebuild and recover from the recent string of controversies.
Addo-Carr’s representatives are expected to meet with Bulldogs management this week to discuss potential exit strategies, with the Dragons now leading the charge to sign the high-profile winger. As the situation develops, all eyes are on Canterbury to see if they will officially cut ties with Addo-Carr and whether the Dragons can seal one of the most surprising moves of the season.
