    Social Media Willie Mason wants Dogs to sign Segeyaro

    I don’t think Sege is the player he once was. Can be trouble as well. Best to avoid and rebuild with players who’ll lead us to future success.

    Players we let go...

    Taupau, Perrett and Lane just had very good games for Manly. Finucane continues to impress at Storm. Not to mention Cook now a bonafide top grade hooker, and Ese Ese a regular first grader at Broncos. How do we not have the foresight to keep these guys.

    Lloyd Perrett gone

    The cap doesn't work that way. Top 25 are included so they'll need to include another players salary in place of Lloyds. So assuming the player that comes in is on say 200 and Lloyd was on 400 then they save 200.

    Ben barba can he come back

    That was prescription medication as someone else mentioned. Even if it wasn't the NRL has a “three-strike” recreational drug-testing policy. The first time player tests positive, the results are kept private. He has to do some counselling and a drug-awareness course. But it’s a private matter...

    Most Regretful Canterbury Player Release.

    Todd Carney Released

    Carney is not going to happen nor should it. He's past his best and his behavioural track record off the field is not something Canterbury would want to take a risk on. They put a no Dickhead policy in place a few years ago. NRL indicated they won't register him anyway when St George asked the...

    Bulldogs roll out 6 new signings

    Not much to get excited about here. We lost two wingers (Rona & Perritt) and gained one (Lee). Woodford still a season at least from being a first grader and the rest will be lucky to see regular first grade time.

    Will Hoppa play next Sunday

    I always thought in the long run if Dogs played a Sunday finals game Hoppa would change his mind because he wouldn't want to let his team mates down. Let's see if that happens, especially given Perritt is out now. I'd like to think his Church or God would grant him an exemption given the...

    Protest march

    I've been a Canterbury supporter since 1985. Last night was one of the worst performances I've ever seen from the club. They were clueless in attack. Something certainly isn't right at the club. Without criticising individuals, apart from Kasiano and our champion back rowers in Jackson...

    The NRL Ladder if the 12 points taken off the Eels were given to the teams that they illegally beat

    Pretty sure Eels had a few out the 2nd time they beat us including Foran so they were arguably under the cap anyway in that game. Our own fault.
  24. R

    Anyone reckon dogs will try and get Hayne or Foran??

    I dont see how we could fit Hayne in under the cap given his asking price is around $1m a year. T Rex won't be resigned but I think most of his money goes to upgrading current players.

    Champion Bulldogs centre Willie Talau’s brother accused of punching teen referee Kurt Portsmouth

    Of course the clown is a disgrace but Rothfield is a disgrace to his profession for even referencing this story back to Bulldogs. Talau left the Dogs over 13 years ago, is long retired, played for other clubs as well and it was his BROTHER. No association with Canterbury.

    Everyone just relax

    Im very confident based on what I've seen so far that we will be there at the business end of the season and will give it a great shot. Today missing Klemmer, Jackson, B Moz, J Moz, Hoppa. Plus Kasiano on ice at HT. Ease up - with a full deck I can't see us losing.

    So Williams not even in NSW Cup

    I'd be stunned if he was offered an extension, at least not on anywhere near same money. However, no point moving him on mid-season unless we are trying to free up cap room to make a play for someone else mid-season. Trying to get another club to pick up more than half his salary may be a problem.

    Chase Stanley

    It's a shame for Stanley that he is so injury prone. He looks the goods when fully fit, looks like one of the few in the side that can threaten the line. J Moz appears to have lost a yard or two of speed and doesn't break the line or beat a defender anymore.

    Should Raelene Castle Resign over Hopoate decision?

    Let's relax all. Better to have Hoppa happy and at his best than not at all. Very lucky to have him esp given B Mozs injury. I'm sure once it comes to finals he won't let his team mates down.

    God's Will? Hopoate will not play Sundays

    If going to Church on Sundays makes the kid happy then so be it. A happy Hopoate is a better player than an unhappy one, as we saw at Parramatta. I'll doubt he will miss a big game because of it.

    The dogs might be getting Will Hopoate

    He'd be very useful at the right price. He would likely play to his potential under the culture at Canterbury. I'm hearing Lafai may be released to Manly (who want to switch Lyon to 5/8 to replace Foran).

    Minute Sacked

    He was sacked for embarrassing the club. Loko's drink driving had potentially much worse consequences than what Minute did but the media love to latch onto anything that could be construed anti-female. He's an idiot. His Mrs would be pleased.

    Daniel Vidot set to leave Brisbane Broncos for Cantebury Bulldogs

    Vidot can be powerful on his day but I'm not convinced he is going to add alot of value to our team. His hands are at times terrible - hes a liability under the high ball. That said at the right price Id take him as coverage. Des might find the right strings and get the best out of him.

    Dogs respond to paul kents disgusting rant

    Anything that falsely tarnishes the public perception of the club should matter to fans. An NRL club is a business after all any everyday is a fight for a new dollar. He did it because he's a lightweight on journalistic skill and relies on peddling rumour and innuendo to make a living. He...

    Dogs respond to paul kents disgusting rant

    Bulldogs 9s

    Not sure why people are getting worked up over the 9s. Only the clubs that need the cash take it seriously. Des just using it as a training run for his forwards and some fringe players. Means nothing. In fact I'll tip whoever wins it struggles to make the eight this year.

    Halves that are available for 2016

    We've got the 2 incumbent NSW Origin halves and got to a GF, where a few things went against us (Ennis out, Hodko on one leg, Reynolds popping a shoulder early, and no Kasiano). I believe with B Moz and the other additions provided they all stay fit Canterbury will win the 2015 comp (note that...

    Why im confident about the penrith game..

    I'm confident about the Penrith game as both times they beat us this year the refereeing arguably decided the outcome and the second time was during the post Origin flat period we had. Will be tough as Panthers play for 80 mins but the week off could stall their momentum.

    Theory : Ennis moving on a catalyst for non performance

    Agree, that's why I made the comment about Rothfield's credibility. He's got form for making outlandish statements. Would be silly of a playing group to throw away a shot at a title to sulk because one player is leaving.

    Theory : Ennis moving on a catalyst for non performance

    Really, to win the Comp, Bulldogs need to win every game.

    Agree with Barnzy re the 2009 season. I've been saying ever since Steve Clarke cost us the comp that year. The Idris no try ruling at Kogarah cost us the minor premiership and the chance to rest Noddy in the final warriors match where he busted his jaw. I think we would have beaten Storm in that...

    Reynolds gets 3 weeks with early guilt plea

    It could be a blessing in disguise. Gives him a rest after Origin and if he cops the suspension due to carry over points they reset meaning a similar offense later in the year shouldn't result in suspension.

    Would you want Benji Marshall to join our team this season?

    I'm leaning towards no. I could potentially entertain him as a back up at the right price. The problem with him playing fullback is his defence - will or can he put his body on the line when the big defensive plays are needed. He would provide experienced depth in the halves (certainly wouldn't...
