The club is expected to fire disgraced Bulldogs star Josh Addo-Carr after Canterbury sent the winger a show-cause notice.

The most recent development follows Addo-Carr’s inability to find another club to relocate to, with Canterbury’s approval, after testing positive for cocaine last month.

The former State of Origin winger has received a show-cause notice from the Bulldogs, and next week, when he goes before club powerbrokers, his future will be decided. Following this meeting, his contract is anticipated to be terminated.

The bombshell revelation from a roadside test on the eve of the Bulldogs first NRL final in eight years sent shockwaves through the club and the league.

The NRL issued him a breach notice last month after he accepted a $682 fine from NSW Police and three-month ban from driving over the incident, after his roadside test on September 6.

Addo-Carr has continued to claim he does not know how the cocaine that was detected at a roadside test got in his system, arguing he did not take illicit drugs.

Addo-Carr also caught backlash for misleading Bulldogs officials about the incident, and has previously run afoul of club higher-ups over a brawl at last year’s Koori Knockout competition.
