Canterbury Bulldogs have firmly denied circulating claims that hooker Reed Mahoney is being offered to other clubs. Speculation surged on social media regarding Mahoney’s future with the Bulldogs, prompting a swift and stern response from club CEO Phil Gould, who labelled such reports as “complete rubbish.”
In an interview with Wide World of Sports, Gould assured fans that both Mahoney’s manager and club representatives had not engaged in any discussions about the player’s transfer, declaring, “There is absolutely nothing to it.” Mahoney, a pivotal figure in the Bulldogs’ recent resurgence, joined the team in 2023 on a lucrative contract after his successful tenure at Parramatta.
Recognised for his disruptive playing style, Mahoney is integral to Coach Cameron Ciraldo’s strategy as the team gears up for 2025. The club’s determination to retain Mahoney underscores their commitment to building a competitive squad ahead of the new season.
