    A lot of phone calls from Baz': How Barrett convinced Elliott to stay at Bulldogs

    Adam Elliott said it was the numerous phone calls from incoming Canterbury coach Trent Barrett that helped him spurn big-money offers from the New Zealand Warriors and St George Illawarra to extend his Bulldogs deal by three seasons. Barrett does not start his new post at Belmore for another few...

    News Put down the phone. Read a book. Don't be knob heads

    News Bulldogs' chase of Napa and Liddle sparks chain reaction

    Canterbury are preparing to make a $2 million, three-year play for Dylan Napa for the upcoming season and then Wests Tigers hooker Jacob Liddle for the following one in a development that has piqued Wests Tigers’ interest in Damien Cook. The Bulldogs are resigned to losing unsettled prop David...

    Mbye expecting aerial raid for fullback initiation

    Moses Mbye admits premiers Melbourne would be "stupid" not to launch an aerial bombardment of the first-time fullback, who is expecting a baptism of fire in the doubleheader at Perth's $1.6 billion Optus Stadium. The man who counts a fill-in appearance in the No.1 during an under-16s match as...

    Josh Reynolds opens up about what it is like to be coached by Ivan Cleary after Des Hasler

    Excellent point. People need to realise how manipulative the media can be. The interview was probably sold to Reynolds as an opportunity to talk about his new club when the real agenda was an anti-Dogs article, a vastly more interesting and emotive story. The author would have known that a pro...

    Conversation with Ray Dib

    If that is the case then it is just more of what we heard 12 months ago and we know where that got us. If there is a genuine after season review then Dib should be first to go and Des to follow. "He is certainly taking steps to change and fix things, and to restore the old Dogs culture". Dib...

    Unwanted Canterbury Bulldog Lloyd Perrett aiming to fulfil potential at Manly Sea Eagles

    With the club in such undeniable decline there is going to be over the top reporting and speculation as to what is going on. The salary cap issue is a hard one to ignore because it has been so consistently reported and it's not like the club have been openly denying they have a problem. My point...

    Unwanted Canterbury Bulldog Lloyd Perrett aiming to fulfil potential at Manly Sea Eagles

    You constantly accuse others of overzealous criticism of our coach but you are just as guilty in your constant defence of him. Why would you expect for one second that the tone of threads on here would change after what we again dished up on Thursday night? Someone has to take responsibility for...

    Des Hasler is a coach defeated

    Maybe but that doesn't detract one bit from the accuracy of this analysis. We either cut our losses at the end of this season or take the huge gamble of persisting with Hasler, who you may remember promised a new and improved approach this season. It is pretty clear now that Hasler can't deliver...

    2018 Spine

    Fair enough. You're right that the upgrades were a priority and that we have secured arguably our 2 most important players in the long-term - Jackson and Klemmer. Shame that BMoz doesn't look like being physically up to the FB role. He makes such an impact when he is there. I think that in the...

    2018 Spine

    Don't disagree with you about the circumstances in which Barba left - just casting doubt on the Club's sometimes questionable recruitment strategies. BMoz was a great acquisition and is undoubtedly a dynamic player and full-back but can't imagine he'll stay there when Hopoate returns. Wasn't...

    Hold on, isn't that exactly what we did with Barba??!! 4 years on and we're still waiting for a true replacement.

    Canterbury's Leaders search for answers

    It's far removed from a crisis meeting, but the Bulldogs' senior leaders have challenged Canterbury's squad to swiftly solve the impossible jigsaw which has become the side's season before they plunge into a mid-season malaise. Desperately searching for a shred of consistency in a topsy-turvy...
