Official Best wishes to dwz

[Bulldogs09]

It’s official.

He’s gone.

3.5 years to Warriors.

Told the players in the shed he is done. Players gave him some haka as sign of respect.

Best wishes. Sad in the aspect he gave his all and was a bloke who put his body on the line and shits on floppa.

Though he’s on double his worth and we need to be proactive to make sure next year we compete while this year we are horse shit again and his contact is poor from the past choices.

Good luck dwz. Rip in for Warriors just not against us!

Watene-Zelezniak's Warriors move complete


Dallin Watene-Zelezniak's move to the Warriors is complete after being farewelled with a haka by Canterbury teammates.

© David Gray/AAP PHOTOS Dallin Watene-Zelezniak has played his last NRL game for Canterbury after signing with the Warriors.
Watene-Zelezniak told Bulldogs players in the sheds after their 36-10 loss to Parramatta he had played his last game for the NRL club.

That prompted an impromptu haka in the sheds at Bankwest Stadium, led by Bulldogs welfare manager Luke Goodwin.

"Dal has been a big part of our squad for the past two years now," Bulldogs fullback Nick Meaney said.

"He spoke to us as a playing group, we are all pretty tight, he said his words and it's very emotional losing one of your close mates."

The Kiwi captain has signed a three-and-a-half year deal with the Warriors as part of a mid-season merry-go-round of NRL talent.

The Warriors had recently released winger Ken Maumalo to Wests Tigers, while Roger Tuivasa-Sheck will head to New Zealand rugby at the end of the season.

Watene-Zelezniak's exit also comes as part of a backline overhaul at the Bulldogs, freeing up further cap space with Josh Addo-Carr, Brent Naden and Matt Burton arriving in 2022.

Hopefully it’s SJ early

 

[Malla]

Good riddance

 

[The DoggFather]

Wish his "foot injury" all the best...

 

[The DoggFather]

Hopefully it’s SJ early

His money is part of the SJ offer.

 

[Doggiezbrah]

Hopefully it’s SJ early

Surely the Sharks aren’t that dumb.. on the cusp of the 8 and send away their first choice halfback. We wanted Naden and Burton early, surely we have some extra $$$ for this season.

 

[cookieman909]

Interesting to see who we get this year then. We all thought Naden, but now that’s been shut down, maybe a forward?

Wish his "foot injury" all the best...

It's a bit like that injury that SOB Williams got before a game against the Warriors in 2008 just before he skipped town.

 

[D.O.W.]

All the best DWZ, always gave 100% and ripped in for the club, fans and his teammates.

Nice touch from Luke Goodwin and his Kiwi colleagues to send him off with a haka!
