FOR a kid people thought was “never going to amount to anything”, Nick Meaney has the makings of a future star and Canterbury believe he’s a foundation stone of their rebuild. The young fullback might describe himself as just “a skinny kid from Ballina” but if that’s all he is, he punches well...

Can I just say first and foremost that I think Beattie is a fucking clown and I don't know how he is in the job but I found some of his recent comments interesting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Expansion: “It’s a lot harder than I first...

The NRL is in that stage right now where the stars of the past decade are starting to fade out such as JT and Slater and we are seeing the rise of talented youngsters such as Holmes and Munster, but if we were to compile a top 5 list right now who would make it?, will be interesting to see the...

We have promised CHN, Meaney, Cogger and Crichton first grade football next season, I've seen quotes or videos from each of them confirming this throughout the year. The problem is this was before Lewis, Smith and Martin broke out into the scene. Problem 1: We have Foran on a million dollar...

OUT OF ORDER AND TOUCH SADLY, this is the reaction from the most powerful official at Canterbury Bulldogs over their wild Mad Monday party. George Coorey is the chairman of the Canterbury Leagues Club that funds the Bulldogs. He texted me the following message: “So, the NRL object to players...

All the fans are outraged and like other posters have said, we have the backing of the majority of supporters across the league and have the opportunity to back Greenturd into a corner here. I doubt Andrew Hill is reading the kennel and all the posts of people asking him to give a big fuck you...

Why can't the NRL have an NBA like draft and summer league with the 9's being the comp to showcase each team's new rookies. This could lead to the NRL investing into more junior programs and producing higher quality players. Imagine the excitement we would have knowing that we might land a...

DON’T let Ofahiki Ogden’s beaming ear-to-ear smile fool you. Behind the wide grin is a young forward eager to make a name for himself in the NRL as a ‘hard as nails’ enforcer. Canterbury’s salary cap woes paved the way for Ogden to make his debut last weekend against Newcastle and now he wants...

Missed the game today and the debuts of Lewis and Ogden as well as Smiths 2nd game, so how did they go, can we get excited yet? In particular, how was Lewis' kicking game and Smiths defence.

JOSH and Brett Morris’s Dog days may not be over just yet. The Sunday Telegraph can reveal the Bulldogs have put both twin speedsters back on their recruitment and retention list following Moses Mbye’s decision to quit the club at the end of the year, or possibly sooner. In what would be a...

I miss the days where a big shoulder charge could not only change the momentum of the game but get fans excited and revved up. I know it carries all the concussion risks but I don't see why we can't just have the rule where if it makes contact with the head then its a penalty and if it doesn't...

SOURCE: The Dailiy Telegraph - Phil Rothfield AS soon as the Brisbane Broncos beat the Canterbury Bulldogs in controversial circumstances on Thursday night, an interesting statistic emerged on social media. That the Broncos had incredibly won 14 consecutive games under the refereeing of Gerard...

Mbye Has shown some really nice signs early on, this bloke looks like he was made for the fullback position. He has been able to show his pace and strength in his new role and looks like we have finally solved our gaping hole. If he continues to build on his form then he will go into next season...

If you guys could start a team today and were given the salary cap of $9 million what would your teams look like? Every player is available. Obviously, common sense is needed when selecting players and their salaries, a few of current players have their salaries public and if so then use those...

Boy is he going to have a big year, he looks so much bigger, stronger and faster then he was last year and not the mention how much better he’s defense looks, he has definelty worked on he’s tackling technique over the off season. He can offload the ball in every situation. I am willing to...

So I was thinking of a few past Bulldogs players and also how some average NRL players are commanding top coin these days and got to the think how much would some past players ask for in today's market. Hazem El Masri - So being a winger he would probably not get as much as others but honestly...

Okay before anyone says anything, I know the 2018 season hasn’t even started yet but these are some of my favorite topics to see people’s opinions on especially when you consider that we will have atleast 2.3 million to play with but maybe even up to just under 3 million. And it will be Pays...

Strong rumours that he will leave the Roosters with Cronk looking likely to sign with them. What are your guy's opinions on him and where he will end up. Personally, I don't rate him as highly as most people who regard him a top 3-4 hooker in the game, saying that I still think he is a good...

SO this is the family club. The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. Steeped in intrigue, mystique and a famous “family first” culture, only the “lucky ones” who have ever pulled on the blue and white of the Berries will ever truly understand. If you have played or ever worked for the Bulldogs, you...

With all the news about us and the cap, I thought why not break down the figures to see where we stand. Now obviously there isn't a way to find the exact figure for each player so im going to go by the rumoured numbers which in the Nrl are close to accurate. Also these are for 2018: 1...

The Knights will likely pick up there 3rd spoon in a row however that doesn't stop the fact that they can be serious dark horses next season and have the potential to be something special very soon. At the start of the 2018 season there going to have a squad filled with highly talented young...

At the moment the current record try scorer is Ken Irvine with 212 tries. One would think that Billy Slater would've broken the record if he played the last 2 seasons and could also make it through next season as he currently sits at 178 tries. After Slater, Inglis is next best with 139 tries...

Is there a more overrated player. Being a representative Australian prop and regarded by most so called "Nrl experts" as one of the top props in the game, his only run more than 100m in 4 games this season and where in round 19. Tolman is a better player but never gets touted for...

Probably one of the only games this year that im actually excited about. Gives Jacko and Klem a chance to win something because it sure isn't gonna happen at the dogs.

CULTURE is the most overused, often abused, always confused word in the sports world. Every good club has good culture, even the bad ones. Coaches speak to culture in knowing tones. Just don’t dare ask them to explain. I gave that up long ago when I noticed their eyes glaze and words grow...

Ok so I know he scored 3 tries today and im probably just jumping on the hype train. But I really think this guy is a player that can make it here for us (not many around), he does have sloppy hands at times and his defence still needs to be tweaked but he is built like a young Idris and I don't...

HE has wild eyes and a fearsome scowl. A leg pump to scare away defenders and a body which fills a door frame. A player who, at age 20, told Queensland veteran Cameron Smith after an on-field scuffle: “You’re too old. Give it away.” NSW hard man David Klemmer has taken the enforcer role...

TWELVE months ago, Brett Morris stood inside The Star Casino promoting a game he never thought he’d play again. “I was doing promotional work for Origin one and two,’’ the NSW winger said. “It was different, that’s for sure. “You talk to any past player, when an Origin match comes on, you...

Why the fuck was Klemmer kept off for so long? Why does Fuckwood start if Elliot played more minutes then him? Why it the fatcunt Kasiano come on for only two 10 min stints?

So after a hectic week of transfers and after months of speculation, the thing that most people are overlooking is that this is just the start, there is still a host of players off contract with a couple of teams preparing to throw the cheque book at them. Most recognisable players still on...

HE IS the unfashionable and reliable Bulldogs back-rower recreating Canterbury’s famous foundation creed of hard work. Adam Elliott may not attract the big headlines, but he makes up for it through his never-say-die attitude. Simple yet honest in his approach, the proud Bega boy is a throwback...

With all the talk about the Tigers big 4 and whether they can actually be considered a big 4. Who would you guys consider to be the Bulldogs "Big 4" and would you consider them a legitimate big 4.

THESE are the statistics that show Moses Mbye could become one of the NRL’s most potent fullbacks in a switch that would allow Des Hasler to keep the unknown halfback who saved his Bulldogs career. Hasler will again have to produce a masterstroke this week with long-term playmaking project Mbye...

What ended up happening to that electric 2011 Warriors NYC team, every single player in that team was regarded as a future star and I don't remember any of them making it other then Feki and Taukeiaho. They turned us over by 60 in the semis if i remember correctly and they were labeled the best...

First I just wanna say that these thread doesn't reflect my opinions and more so to see were my fellow kennelers stand on this topic. Our current squad has arguably exited its premiership window and that is due to the fact that most of our squad has either passed its peak or yet to enter it...

Ok so after the game today everyone has been talking about how we need to rebuild the squad and how we have useless players wasting the cap. Now if we go through the players that are past it or just shit: - Jmoz (used to be my fav player and it pains me to have him on the list) - Bmoz (probs...

After the recent resigning of Mitchell Moses and Luke Brooks until the end of 2017, the tigers could find themselves in a deeper hole than now. They are going to have Brooks, Moses, Woods, Farah*, Simona and Tedesco all off contract at the same time. Not to mention the likes of Naiqama...

WHAT does Canterbury mean to rising stars David Klemmer and Moses Mbye? For Klemmer it means negotiating a rich new four-year deal worth over $2 million without a manager. For Mbye, it’s the decision to sign-on until 2020 for less money than what he could’ve secured elsewhere. Ahead of...
