Matt Dufty may have played his last game for Canterbury Bulldogs ahead of an impending move to Super League.
The livewire fullback was dropped for Canterbury’s fixture against Penrith Panthers over the weekend and was replaced by another Super League target Corey Allan as the Bulldogs hierarchy continue to be disillusioned with Dufty at the back.
Dufty only signed a one-year deal at the Bulldogs ahead of the 2022 season after an ill-fated spell at St George Illawarra Dragons, but he has been heavily linked with a transfer to Super League – and now the Daily Telegraph believes he could have played his last game in the famous blue and white.
However, the Sydney Morning Herald has revealed just how much it will take to lure the fullback halfway across the world.
The publication revealed the salaries of NRL players from a leaked document, with Dufty’s estimated wage standing at $350,000.
In British pound sterling, that figure would equate to almost £200,000 which would take up a huge amount of Warrington’s salary cap on just one player.
Of course, taking into account the move, the salary would perhaps even be higher than that to be able to lure him over in the first place.
New head coach Daryl Powell has been on a recruitment spree in the second-half of the 2022 Super League season following a less than successful takeover of the Halliwell Jones Stadium as Warrington sit outside the play-offs.
