Interested in Kennelers thoughts. Thinking Kiraz might make a good fullback.

I just received the Bulldogs Team email that Hopoate is Captain this week. Is this a joke. In my view Hopoate shouldn't even be in the team. A turnstile in defence and adds nothing in attack. What do Kenellers think of the announcement? Hopoate to captain Bulldogs in clash with Cowboys Will...

The TEAM list on the Bulldogs website lists 4 fullbacks, 5 wingers (and another on the way next season) and 1 centre! Is anyone in the know on the longer term plan? Presumably a few players will not have their contracts renewed next year.

In this off-season recovery after the grand final was spoiled by rules that defied common sense and over-use of technology, I watched again that wonderful 1973 match between the Barbarians and Wales which I hopefully shared here And whilst watching, I couldn't help but ponder how unplayable...

Personally I was impressed by the outcome from having the two referees. Firstly it will cut down on those arms around the kneck and head that has crept into the tackle, especially after the tackle has been made and the defenceless player is on the ground. Players and coaches will soon get the...

An extraordinary night for the Bulldogs. So extraordinary, in fact, I probably won't have space to refer to the Sea Eagles. The Bulldogs never stay down for long. They managed to get themselves into some trouble over the years but one thing they've never been afraid to do is make tough...
