    Addo-Carr will miss the Dogs' do-or-die elimination final clash with Manly on Sunday after voluntarily standing himself down, after reports surfaced his roadside test contained traces of cocaine.

    The 29-year-old Canterbury winger was tested orally a second time following an initial positive, with the results returning today.
