The bigger question is why are we the only side without updated team pictures :sob:

Here's another Sitili moment Reacts immediately with the right instinct as Gutho is caught in the line here What makes this better is that the play after this is when he splits the defence for his second try. Such good instincts and hole/line running.

We saw some of Montoya's rocks, but this was one helluva diamond

Preston getting sick of our team doing butt fuck all in attack and doing it all himself, thank god we have him

Fake news, unfortunately. The 'source' is just AI generated slop, which is why it mentions Averillo.

More recent highlights package

Was very hype, I took this happy snap from the crowd right as the match was about to start

You'd think him saying its a "nice" announcement, means a re-signing of a player, assistant/junior coach, junior, or recognition of merit in some capacity A new signing we would actually be excited about would be "big", or more likely, not teased at all lol

Not sure if it got already linked somewhere else, but I found the replay here: https://www.9now.com.au/jersey-flegg-cup/season-2024/episode-1

Holmes lost the ball 2 tackles before that try. Somehow Sutton missed it

Could watch this all day

Him playing lock in our current system is an exciting prospect. He has a good passing game, and can wreak havoc when he goes himself

Are we fucking cursed??? WTF

I NEED TO GO GET MY HEART CHECKED

If Kikau can have hands like that with 12 broken fingers Hughes has no excuse for his handling

The intercept was against the grain too, so we've been getting rolled for a long time with momentum

BURTOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Fuck... you really gotta feel for him with that ongoing knee injury

It's only been three weeks since we were told Preston's recovery would be 2- 4 weeks (not rounds). We will need him healthy for when we play finals :smirk:

Todd listed as #23 :smirk:

Also always liked him. No reason he can't be used the same way we use Curran. Two Currans providing impact from the bench next year... :hearteyes:

It kills me to announce that I cannot go to the game today :cry: Hopefully my ticket though will not go to waste. Does anybody want it? It's for Bay 30.

You've been killing it with the podcasts mate, well done

Took these pics for the kennel to laugh at before I realised NRL360 already showed Gutho whinging and in way better quality Still, it's funny seeing him contrasted with everyone else already moved on

GOOD ONE ATKINS. REALLY DOING AN UPSTANDING JOB TONIGHT.

Sportsbet not letting me pick Lipoi Hopoi as a tryscorer :triumph:

From Gus' six tackles podcast regarding Suluka-Fifita: "(returning) I think maybe Round 14, or after the bye (round 16), probably needs a couple of games in NSW cup"

Well I only just managed to watch the game - I knew about the score and the flow of points (how we were down, gained and then lost the lead etc), and had been too gutted to watch the replay til now. Since the kennel was especially down on the performance I thought it would be a tough watch and...

I reaally hope Titans win this :triumph: haha

NRL have apparently taken him out mafia style

- Taaffe still stifles our attack similar to trial / early round form. Affects the shifts and doesn't get sets started properly enough (runs sideways or passes off to momentum-less Kiraz/Fox). Grateful he didn't drop catches, but seriously thank fuck we got Tracey during the off season to be our...

CURRAN YOU FUCKING BEAUTY

Checking in here (4:30pm 25/4). Game 1/8 of the round is done and we are still in the 8!

First time our +/- has been positive since Round 1 2022 (when we jagged that Cowboys win) Ciraldo doing so well with what he has. Imagine what we could be like with bigger props and a less momentum-killing halfback... ...now imagine where we would be right now without the lucky acquisition of...

Hutchison goes off, Taaffe comes on, we score our best try of the season Ciraldo may be onto something here

The ref can't be serious with how the second half is going

So happy for Hayward :')

Play the ball speed (us on the left) looks even on the whole, when you'd argue we've had way more attempted fast play the balls and periods of momentum (especially during the period of having 70% possession) Yet supposedly we're the ones illegally slowing down the play the ball?

NAS out of their squad Not really seeing the 'creativity' in the forwards that Ciraldo alluded to

GET FUCKED ROOSTERS LOL

"It wouldn’t be a footy season without boardroom drama at Canterbury Bulldogs. Veteran director Gary McIntyre has been disqualified from this weekend’s Canterbury League Club ballot by the returning officer for failing to declare he had been previously banned as a director. McIntyre was...

YOWZER!

Wow, that is a great looking cup side. Assuming they dominate (fingers bloody crossed), a lot of these guys will be banging on the door of first grade in good, confident form. What's even better is that this game is listed for Foxtel broadcast, so those who aren't heading to the game will still...

Not that I think this makes it a good signing, but the stroke aspect is not a concern The stroke was mid-year and these were his stats from two international games late October: Number Position Mins Played Total Points All Runs All Run Metres Post Contact Metres Tackle Breaks Average Play The...

Canterbury fans are in for a thrilling double-header at Belmore Sports Ground this Friday evening, as the Rabbitohs first take the field against the Roosters at 6pm before the locals rise to challenge Cronulla at 8pm. After a convincing win over the Melbourne Storm in Round 1 of the NRL's...

Flanagan lets me down one final time lol :')

Ok just give Kautoga whatever position Knight had... god awful tonight

Kautoga has been outstanding, find him a spot

HughesMania!

That's very disappointing to hear. The coverage on FB was bog average and a pain to find and access, but it being free to view made it ok. I'm definitely not going to leave a comment on here suggesting the kennel crowdfunds a subscription someone on here could use to stream/record the matches...

NRL market watch: Bulldogs, Dragons lead chase for Jarome Luai, Addin Fonua-Blake The Wests Tigers could be blown out of the water for their two prized targets, leaving them at risk of going home empty-handed. The latest on the high-profile recruitment drive inside. The 50km trip down the M4...

Episode is up, is a good listen >> A few key details I took out for next season: Current pre-season objective Focus on preparation Set a good example for the club, and a good example for the next generation Make himself the best he's ever been in terms of peak fitness, peak skill Ensures he...

Not offering a contract is not = pulling out of the race to sign him He's meeting and touring multiple Sydney clubs, and this tweet is pointing out that we will not be using $$ as part of our sales pitch. I don't know the order AFB is meeting with clubs, but this doesn't give the other clubs a...

Two in one day, I'll skip the repetition TL ; DL Update on Oloapu Had surgery yesterday on his neck - pretty scary for an 18 year old Rallying around him atm, focus on rehabilitation, footy is far from our minds as he gets nursed back to full health On the mass changes 10 signings is big...

Some betting agency should have a Bulldogs starting 17 guessing competition for Round 1, because I don't think it has ever been less predictable :sweatsmile:

Connor Tracey’s deal with Canterbury is set to be rubber stamped after the Sharks and Bulldogs agreed to swap a rising star. It is understood the Sharks have identified Michael Gabrael as the player they want from Canterbury in order to grant Tracey an immediate release. Gabrael is an outside...

0.1% chance of winning the wooden spoon is good news though :)

At least we have an excuse now if we need one lol

I was stoked when we got Xerri. Until we see him in action I'm going to believe in the hype and at least know he will be training his balls off. Having said that, I'm more stoked for Crichton if we use him as a centre. If the Xerri hype is real, then we'd have one of the top centre pairings in...

The Benji Marshall era at the Wests Tigers won’t begin until the second week of the competition with the back-to-back wooden-spooners set to be handed the bye in the opening round of the NRL season. The NRL is putting the finishing touches on the draw in preparation for a release on Monday. This...

Would all parties be happy with this?

I have a highly optimistic feeling we will get him. Plus, if he joined the Warriors on compassionate grounds, they'd look like massive cucks to block this (though all eyes might just be on the dickhead that keeps wanting to change contracts and countries for compassionate reasons :sweatsmile:).

Damn, I was hoping they were the bag guys in the situation: wiki: "...before re-signing with St. George Illawarra on a contract to the end of 2016. On 19 January 2015, he was stood down by the club due to disciplinary reasons, before having his contract terminated on 30 June 2015 when he...

Superstar prop Addin Fonua-Blake, arguably the No.1 front-rower in the NRL, is set to request an immediate release from the New Zealand Warriors on compassionate grounds. This masthead understands that Fonua-Blake’s representative plans to approach the club on Thursday, requesting that he be...

I think he means to say 'have a crack at'

Didn't seen it posted, but we've picked up a young halfback named Kaleb Eaton for our 2024 development training squad Info: - 18 years old - Playing for Cairns Brothers - We signed him last year (had 1 year left on contract) - Was playing Mal Meninga Cup this year, but had a season-ending ankle...

Did a mini dive on SST and watched the Catalans v Saints semi (switching between 1.0x and 3.0x speed) He was definitely very involved throughout his two stints (20 mins, 25 mins), taking a hit-up virtually every attacking set, even if heavily involved in defence the previous set. He ran for...

In a horrible case of bad timing mixed with terrible behaviour, Josh Addo-Carr has embarrassed Bulldogs club bosses again and wasted the time of the boss of the game, Peter V’landys. Addo-Carr was meant to have a high-level meeting with ARL Commission chairman V’landys just days before he was...

Couldn't see this posted and couldn't find a better thread. Liam Knight did a podcast episode with Russell Manser (released Oct 9): https://open.spotify.com/episode/4xaynKWs84Lq5RF9XUFUyV It's mostly about mental health, upbringing, and his pre-bulldogs background, which isn't a bad listen by...

Assuming Burton keeps his current GK form, I'd go with him. He kicked at 84.51% this year, which was the second highest in the comp behind Croker, given some minimum number of kicks (I don't remember the cut-off). Very handy having Crichton as a back-up though.

Very keen for Xerri's arrival, it couldn't be timed any better In the wake of 'training is too hard', here comes along an athlete who lives, breathes, and eats tough training. Time will tell how much of his 2019 self has been recaptured, but if you buy into the narrative of someone willing to...

The Dogs are having a party

Dogs (2nd) over Roosters (1st) in the deciding GF Very fitting - get fucked as always Roosters!

What a conversation from Pupperli'i (nickname pending) Johannssen is really standing out, we should keep him

Third times the charm for Mazzone!

Great set after points - lets go pups!

The scuttlebutt section was pretty interesting. Gus didn't want any spotlight or mention (which isn't atypical for him) "How did the Bulldogs get a mention tonight? It's finals time?" He then coyly confirmed Drew Hutchison and Kurt Mann were 99.9% signed (as they can't ever be 100% until the...

A boom attacking 22yo centre with immaculate defence, signed to the Bulldogs during a rebuild? Sounds like a good idea (although Jmoz was a year younger and a winger, but still)

Had good hands in this nice crash play effort

Everyone they paint dips in form :sob: haha

Didn't know which thread to put this in, but since this is basically our social-media thread, here's Bronson Xerri:

Devil's advocate, but I think the only news in this is his manager taking it public, likely in the wake of Buzz' comments on Monday... aaaand I don't know if RFM is necessarily 'the rat' he was made out to be. Brace yourselves for a long, investigatively hopefully-non-fictional post. In the...

Great segment - could have watched that go on for another half hour hahah Nothing new learned, just Buzz repeating the shit he's already written about in his articles and then deflecting all over the joint and trying to steer away from any actual discussion. You'd think Buzz is trying to get...

I wanna see Jammer give Buzz an earful and sink his teeth into him like its the 2012 grand final

Much to love about this team. KO and Papalii are both playing confidently and forming a nice combo. Big fan of O'neill as well.

I jumped to the 'Moving to the Bulldogs' chapter, but there wasn't any real insight into the club: JG: Have you enjoyed being down there at the club? TPJ: Club-wise, I know they're doing it tough at the moment, but we've got a great fanbase, they're very family orientated, and the coach they...

I've seen this said about him a lot and I don't know if I subscribe to it. He is the type of winger that capitalises on opportunities - and is still one of, if not still the best at capitalising in the comp. Last year the talk on here was that he was busted and past it when we signed him...

He does have a role at the club! :) He works on the media side of things though, so he isn't part of the coaching staff. He mentioned on his poddy with Damien Cook last week that he doesn't want to be a coach (at the moment), so we probably won't see it happen... but we need him and his passion...

woo hoo

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
