This sort of thing should be easy to check, but if anyone can tell me who is in the Bulldogs top 30 squad I would love to see it.
The bulldogs website lists Rhyse Martin as one of 31 players in their NRL squad, which is not helpful at all.
I have found reference on the Kennell to Lachlan Lewis not being allowed to play first grade because he isn't in the top 30 squad, but nothing concrete on Martin.
How come the NRL can't publish such basic information
Because it doesn't have to be locked in till season end or pretty close to it. Transfers close June 30, but you can bring in local plodders on minimum wage to fill the 30 after that. Iremember it being talked about in relation to the Bulldogs and joked about in regards to the Roosters and Eels, but can't of hand remember the date
EDIT:
WRONG !!!!
Under the new system, which was agreed upon as part of the collective bargaining agreement with the RLPA, each club must select 29 players for their NRL squad by March 1 and 30 players by June 30, who are included in the $9.4 million salary cap.
There is a list of 29 players on the Kennel from early in the year just after the first lock down which includes Martin and notable missing is JMK who has since played. So unless they shuffled after March 1. He would be included.
