"Usually we don't make comment around our recruitment and retention strategies," Hill said.
"However, with all the speculation around this matter we thought it was the right thing to do by everyone to confirm we won't pursue an interest in Latrell Mitchell."

This decision came after a meeting between Hill, coach Dean Pay, general manager of football Steve Price and development and pathways manager Dave Hamilton.
The Bulldogs had been viewed as a significant player in the race for the 22-year-old Test centre after Mitchell met with board member George Coorey during the finals series.
