Source: www.bulldogs.com.auThe Mitsubishi Electric Bulldogs have today advised Reni Maitua and his manager that they will not be granting him a release from his contract which expires at the end of the 2009 NRL season.
Chief Executive Mr Todd Greenberg said the Club is very determined to see Reni honour his commitment and rediscover the form that has seen him play for Australia.
"The Bulldogs value Reni too much as a person and as a footballer to let him go, we genuinely don't believe he'll find the solution elsewhere," Mr Greenberg said.
"At the Bulldogs Reni is surrounded by a strong support network of people who really care about him and his future and we'll continue to work to get him back on track and playing the football we all know he's capable of."Following today's meeting with Bulldogs coaching staff Maitua says he is now focused on returning to first grade football.
"I've had a tough couple of weeks with my rib injury but I have been training hard and I'm looking forward to getting back on the paddock," Maitua said.
"I met with both Steve Folkes and Kevin Moore and have reaffirmed my commitment to the Bulldogs."News sent by:

Controversial Bulldogs forward Reni Maitua has been ruled out of Sunday's clash against the Warriors with a rib injury.
Maitua was named on the bench after spending the last two weeks out of the NRL squad due to discipline reasons and the Bulldogs heavy loss on Friday night against Roosters led to Maitua being recalled.
Danny Williams, who was named on the bench for the NRL squad and also in the starting side for the Bulldogs NSW VB Cup side for their clash against Cronulla. Williams will remain with the NRL squad and not take part in the NSW Cup game.
Maitua has been the centre of many rumours in recent times following a list of off-field troubles and has been linked to a switch to both the Rabbitohs or Roosters.
Meanwhile, Kevin Moore will be named later this week as the successor to Steve Folkes as Bulldogs Coach for the next three years.
Moore is currently the Assistant Coach to Folkes and has previously coached the Jersey Flegg and Reserve Grade sides to titles. Moore was appointed Assistant Coach to the NSW State of Origin side last year and has been retained in the role this year.
The appointment of Moore is going to make or break the new Bulldogs Board and if they fail to sign any players with Moore listed as Coach - another challenge could be on the cards. The Board have a mandate to make serious changes and must deliver on their promises or face losing their spots.
It's expected that former Bulldogs lock Jim Dymock will be named Assistant Coach. Dymock and Moore played alongside each other in the halves for several weeks in 1994 when regular halves Terry Lamb and Craig Polla-Mounter were both out for extended periods through injury. The Bulldogs with them two in the halves enjoyed a fine winning streak with Moore keeping Polla-Mounter in reserve grade for a few weeks.
Folkes announced on Monday that he would stand down as Bulldogs Coach after 11 years in the position. Folkes has stated that he'll look for other opportunities with the English Super League looking his most likely destination. Folkes played 24 matches with Hull FC in 1989-90 - the only Club he has been involved with outside of the Bulldogs and the Junior League club he played for.
There were several candidates linked to the Bulldogs position including Michael Potter, Stephen Kearney and Daniel Anderson, however, Moore was always going to get the position once the Bulldogs announced they would not go after the services of Wayne Bennett.
