    News Foran. Canterbury bulldogs withdraw offer.

    You keep going on about Foran lovers etc but don't actually directly address any of the points made and instead just fall back on a 46 sec interview from Mick Ennis and some warped idea that there are loads of good halves on the market and plenty waiting for their FG shot at the Dogs.

    Official Nick Cotric signs three year deal with the Bulldogs

    Not sure about his potential as a fullback, but 650K/year doesn't sound so bad for a fullback. Otherwise 650 is at the top of the market for a centre and too much for a winger when we suck through the spine.
