Canterbury’s board has pledged to vigorously defend themselves against a $4 million civil case filed by former player Jackson Topine. This follows Topine’s legal team submitting a statement of claims to the NSW Supreme Court against the NRL club. The heart of the issue revolves around an incident last July when Topine alleges he was compelled to engage in strenuous wrestling activities as punishment for being late to a training session. Topine claims to have suffered various forms of distress and is seeking damages. The Bulldogs have stated their intention to contest the claims and uphold their stance on player welfare. Meanwhile, the Rugby League Players’ Association is monitoring the situation.https://www.highcpmgate.com/huweqnyxks?key=02ff0bf01860d124fb976c01a6663a4a
