The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs were made aware of a concerning comment regarding a player that was made by a sports commentator yesterday, during the match.
The Club takes player welfare very seriously and commentary of this nature is simply unacceptable.
The Bulldogs have informed the NRL integrity unit and have since been in touch with the commentator, who has offered a formal apology and requested to meet with the player in person to apologise directly. The player has politely declined the request at this time.
The Club will continue to support the player in question. His wellbeing is of paramount importance. The Club places the best interests and welfare of our players and staff as our number one priority.
We can all learn from this.
Given the nature of the commentary, the Club will not provide any further comment at this time.
