Hearing that an announcement is imminent that Castle will be leaving the dogs. 1130 press conference. Info comes from reliable source

Apparently Klemmer will be starting in the ANZAC test in the front row with Woods. Triple M just released the leaked test team. 1. Darius Boyd (Broncos) 2. Blake Ferguson (Roosters) 3. Will Chambers (Storm) 4. Josh Dugan (Dragons) 5. Valentine Holmes (Sharks) 6. Johnathan Thurston (Cowboys)...

I've been racking my brain trying to think of the last time I was sure that we were going to win the next game we were going to play. I honestly can't think of the last time. There have been times when I've been fairly confident but still had that lingering doubt and on a few occasions when I...

Following Friday nights board meeting I felt the need to email Raelene Castle and the Bulldogs to voice my concerns over the direction the club was headed. The main points of my email were: *My disappointment at the resignation of Steve Mortimer and the fact that he was so worried about the...

These are from Buzz Rothfields column over the past fortnight. He has told me via direct messaging on twitter that this is all about James Graham. I have no idea whether or not this information is accurate but I can confirm it is written about him. It's the correct move IMO. Ever since bad...

I've just had a chat with a very reliable source from the club and he's told me to expect a very disappointing year next year. We are not in the market for anyone at the moment, including Lolohea. The club is hoping Des will walk. He won't be sacked because they don't want to pay out his final...

We should 100% make a play for this guy. People I have spoken to said he would make Brad Abbey look like Sam Perrett. North Queensland Cowboys young gun Kalyn Ponga opens up on NRL future Insanely talented Kalyn Ponga 0:27 HE’S the teenage sensation likened to Johnathan Thurston. Meet...

I'll just leave this here. Can't really say that we are on track, can we?

So I got an interesting voicemail today from the club. TheY said they were ringing because I attended the Belmore game and wanted to know how I enjoyed the experience. It's a pity I missed their call because I've called back about 5 times since lunch time and it's rung out every time. Nobody...

Have a look at these two press conferences after we were eliminated in the first round of the finals in 2013. You could apply everything that was said to where we are now, in 2016. Bennett makes the comment that "We play the way they play. Their forwards throw it out the back a lot. But you...

Des under fire? The Bulldogs went into their clash with the Cowboys with a chance to sew up a top-four berth. They've been at the right end of the ladder for the whole season, yet their style of play has faced criticism. It seems odd that a coach who has taken his side to two grand finals and...

Apparently Mbye has been informed that he will be playing in Origin 3 if Michael Morgan pulls out and he was happy to tell people at Maroubra yesterday.

I have been a staunch supporter of Des since he came to the club but I am starting to feel we will not win with him coaching our team. After the Manly game we all felt there was a reason for optimism but it's taken just 2 weeks and we have slipped back into the pathetic structure that has been...

Aiden Tolman recently got a skip bin delivered to his house. I'm not sure what he put in it. Source: Skip bin driver who noticed I was a Bulldogs fan

Reporting on ch9 that Jarryd Hayne has been released from 49ers. More to come.

Bulldogs chief executive Raelene Castle has penned the EKO (Early Knock Off) letter which she says is “from one boss to another’’. Fans can also download the EKO on the club’s website. Castle writes about asking employers for an “important favour” ahead of the big Allianz Stadium match...

If we want to be the 2015 premiers these are the obstacles we need to overcome. Week 1 vs St George - Illawarra Week 2 vs Loser of Roosters vs Melbourne Week 3 vs Winner of next weeks game Broncos vs Cowboys Week 4 Grand Final All games are sudden death and correct me if I'm...

Corey Thompson will leave Canterbury at the end of the season after taking up a two-year deal with Widnes. At just 179cm, Thompson is the NRL's smallest winger, but has made a fair fist of it since earning his first-grade debut last year. The 25-year-old has scored 15 tries in 35 games...

1. Brett Morris 2. Rona 3. Josh Morris 4. Lafai 5. Perret 6. Reynolds 7. Hodkinson 8. Tolman 9. Lichaa 10. Graham 11. Jackson 12. Pritchard 13. Eastwood 14. Kasiano 15. Lane 16. Klemmer 17. Mbye 18. Brown

I just spoke to one of the corporate sponsors who claims that he had some knowledge that Graham is a chance to play on Monday. Has anyone else heard this or have any inside knowledge of his injury status?

Canterbury will tinker with their forward-dominated attack in a bid to ignite halves Trent Hodkinson and Josh Reynolds for their clash against St George Illawarra on Monday. Much of the Bulldogs' attacking focus has centred around their ball-playing forwards since Des Hasler took over in...

Ok so there is another thread about our worst signing ever but what about our best? In terms of value for money and form, especially players who exceeded every bodies expectations. Off the top of my head I'm thinking Rod Silva, Nigel Vagana and Jonothan Davis (for those who remember the late...

Loko is due back this week. With all the injuries/suspensions we have do you think he will see 1st grade? With TRex possibly injured and on report he could be handy to have to the bench as a 2nd rower although Kas and Browne are due back. Alternatively he could come straight into centre if...

According to RLW we will not be very active in the player market for 2016. Des will stick with current halves but the rumour that we are chasing Folau just won't go away.

Ch9 just reported J Moz out for 2-3 weeks. We are stuffed imo and won't be able to handle even a depleted Manly. What options are left? Rona to centre and promote a winger? TRex or jackson to centre?

Listening to triple M on the way home I was gob smacked to hear Gallen say that our halves would be picked atleast for origin 1. Tallis seemed to agree and it was only Dan Ginane who spoke up and said there is no way they are even close to the best in the state. I find this hard to believe that...

Terrible news: BMoz and Lafai out for extended period The toll of the fiery Good Friday confrontation could result in up to six Canterbury players missing this weekend's game against the Dragons, with fullback Brett Morris facing the prospect of not playing before the State of Origin series...

Here is an image with two screen shots that prove the NRL is reactive rather than proactive when it comes to player welfare. The first screen shot is at the 04:30 minute mark when Curtis Rona crosses for a try. He is has grounded the ball and Millard comes in late and leads with the knee and...

Are we alone in thinking that Josh Reynolds' call for a "second opinion" on his broken arm was highly curious? We can't recall a player publicly questioning his club's medical staff before. Reynolds has privately told friends that his arm feels fine, and that he can't fathom why Canterbury...

So after the 'who let the dogs out' rubbish the club has chosen two songs to vote for as our run out song this year. The old "Canterbury are the greatest" song and ACDC's "Dogs of War". You can vote here...

There are reports Bulldogs back-rower Frank Pritchard is gaining a bit of interest from the UK Super League. Rugby League Week reports English club Salford are trying to lure the big Kiwi international away from the Doggies. In 2013, Pritchard signed a three-year deal to remain under Des...

STAR Bulldogs signing Brett Morris is yet to resume full contact training but is a certain starter for the beginning of the NRL premiership in March. Morris is recovering from a shoulder reconstruction and is training with the group without doing any full-on tackling. But the Test star is...

This is something I've felt strongly about for years. We need a team song worthy of our club. Nobody knows the 80's song and the Baha men abomination is embarrassing. According to Raelene it is something the club is working on

ACDC's new album has a track called dogs of war. Can't find a sample of it online to post and I can't attach a recording I've made either. There are a few videos on YouTube that claim to be it but they aren't. Try and listen to it if you can. It would be a much better song to run out to than...

Solid start to test career: Josh Jackson. Solid start to test career: Josh Jackson. Photo: Sylvia Liber Rookie Australian back-rower Josh Jackson has credited Canterbury coach Des Hasler with his and fellow Bulldogs forward David Klemmer's rise to the Test team. Jackson made his Test debut...

Besides Mbye who do we have to cover these positions next year? I remember we signed a guy called Guy Hamilton for NYC last year. Does anyone know where he is and if he's up to the job? It's a bit worrying considering both our halves have just had surgery.

Does anyone think that any of our current NYC or NSW cup players will be able to make the step up to NRL next year?

DEVASTATED Canterbury Bulldogs fans clashed with police last night following their team’s loss in the NRL grand final. Thousands of supporters spilled on to Burwood Rd in Belmore and the situation became tense when a pedestrian sign was ripped out of the ground. Fans jumped up and down on the...

You're maybe 40 kilometres away from Belmore when you catch it in the corner of your eye. The tiny blue-and-white car flag, two of them now, pinned up on either side of the Range Rover now blurring past you at a T-intersection. There must be a big party on or something. Call it 'Happy...

Apparently there are reports on Fox Sports that Ennis has also been put on report. I saw it on twitter, anyone seen the reports?

The NRL is set to investigate St George Illawarra's claims that a rival club approached Brett Morris despite the winger being contracted to the Dragons for 2015. The Dragons released a statement earlier this week accusing another club of enticing Morris to break his contract after Fairfax Media...

Did anyone else read the story at the back of the Telegraph sports section today? It was about Cronullas mad Monday with the strippers and how the game should change. Did anyone notice the emblem they used for the picture they put with the story.

Well like almost everybody else in the rugby league world the bookies believe we are no chance this year. Save your money I say. Roosters = 3.15 Rabbitohs = 3.50 Eagles = 6.50 Cowboys = 7.00 Storm = 8.00 Panthers = 13.00 Broncos = 29.00 Bulldogs = 41.00

Hey guys I just had a very interesting conversation with a mate who said that Reni is going to retire at season end and take up a role as captain/coach of Coogee wombats A grade. Coogee have not fielded an A grade team this year and Reni is very popular in the local area and it's creating a bit...

Canterbury have escaped sanction after an investigation into whether they again flouted the NRL's new concussion protocols. The Bulldogs were under the microscope over two incidents from their clash with the Sydney Roosters. The first involved fullback Sam Perrett, who seemingly refused the...

HASLER HELPS OUT Des Hasler is never one to show his emotions, but the way he grabbed Josh Reynolds' leg the moment that the he got his judiciary downgrade was as good as it gets. It was Hasler’s hard work which played a big part in freeing up Reynolds. Those close to Reynolds told me that...

So after this week we may have an injury and suspension crisis at our club. Reynolds has been put on report and I'd say he will miss some games due to NRL''s stance on lifting this year. Daley hinted both Morris twins played on with serious injuries and will miss at least origin 2, so we will...

FOOTY players are no strangers to rites of passage. At Canterbury, those can also extend to the front office. Bulldogs chief executive Raelene Castle found that out when she took over the reins from Todd Greenberg at Belmore last year. “Todd said to me in his leaving speech that I’m the sixth...

The NRL says it is investigating allegations its head of football, Todd Greenberg, turned a blind eye to the late front-rower Ryan Tandy’s gambling on rugby league games while he was chief executive at the Canterbury Bulldogs. The death of Tandy, 32, last month from a drug overdose has shifted...

Daley: T-Rex an option0:54 NEW South Wales coach Laurie Daley has revealed Tony Williams is firmly in his State of Origin plans for the 2014 series. Speaking on Sterlo ahead of the opener on May 28 at Suncorp Stadium, Daley said he had been so impressed by the Bulldogs forward’s form this...

James Hooper from DT was on Triple M before and said Graham has rejected our offer and his manager is shopping him around. Also kind of hinted it was a ploy to get his price up and negotiations are ongoing. Perhaps now the Fifita rumour makes sense?

Footy players do some wonderful stuff away from the game, especially at the Canterbury Bulldogs. Their winger Sam Perrett has been appointed national ambassador for the Miracle Babies Foundation. Sam Perrett has been appointed national ambassador for the Miracle Babies Foundation. It’s...

FORMER Broncos great Gorden Tallis believes Ben Barba and Anthony Milford should have to pay their own transfer fees if they’re serious about the family reasons to move to Brisbane. Tallis offered St George his entire $450,000 Super League contract when he wanted to move to Brisbane, but was...

Wallace has been released from the Broncos. Has anyone seen much of him this year? Is he worth a look for us? Personally I think he'll go back to penrith but maybe he could fit in somewhere?

I've had this idea for a while and last night only reinforced it. I think there should be an 18th player that can be used when a player is concussed or when a player can't continue due to foul play. The catch is that if 18th player is used the injured player cannot return for the duration of...

The NRL is investigating claims that spectators racially abused the wife of Canterbury forward Frank Pritchard during last Friday’s controversial match between Manly and the Bulldogs at Brookvale Oval. The fresh allegations add to the ugly aftermath to the grudge match on the northern beaches...

Firmer figures Clubs should be concerned about NRL chief executive Dave Smith's crackdown on crowd figures. For years clubs have inflated the numbers and the NRL has accepted them. Smith wants the real figures, which could affect the game's saleability. There is sure to be a 10 per cent drop in...

Sam Kasiano is facing the prospect of more time on the sidelines after putting on a shoulder charge in his long-awaited NRL return. Kasiano played his first game of the season in Canterbury's 40-4 demolition of Wests Tigers, as did fellow forward James Graham. However, the Kiwi international...

Late mail on the game plan just said players from a certain club are unhappy with their captain. They said whoever it is has been captain less than 2 years and the team has only 1 win this season. That leaves Ennis Hayne or Matua Kingston Has anyone heard anything about any unrest over...

Roosters management will meet on Tuesday morning to work out a strategy for the best way to handle the Sonny Bill Williams match against the Bulldogs. The Roosters need the game to sell out but not at the expense of making Williams a bigger target than he already is. There's a lot of ill-feeling...

Ben Barba's character has been brought into serious question as he goes through the toughest time of his life - and he has some serious ground to make up as a person and a footballer. Barba won't care what this column has to say, but outside the gambling and alcohol issues he faces, he must work...

Dogs, Storm, Titans, Parra, Panthers, Knights and Sharks will all have either one or both new home and away jerseys. Personally I'd like home jersey to stay the same but a new home one would be cool.

CANTERBURY will seek an apology from Channel Nine over the Mad Monday fiasco, it has been claimed by major sponsor Gary Johnston. In a remarkable turn of events, the Jaycar Electronics boss claimed last night that the Bullldogs had uncovered no evidence that any players abused the network's...

When it comes to sackings, Channel Nine can't Hackett There is clearly no need for Channel Nine to sack Grant Hackett for being repeatedly drunk and out of control. Channel Nine only ditch people who are pregnant or not good looking enough, and Hackett is neither of these things. * Oh, and...

“@TripleM_NRL: Refs for weekends #nrl finals: Storm v Eagles Cecchin/Archer + Smith/Hampstead in box, Bulldogs v Rabbits Hayne/Cummins + Ward/Sutton in box” What does everyone think? Are there any stats gurus out there who can tell us how we've faired with these guys this year.

In round 12 this year South destroyed the raiders 36-18. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiptOEU7e-c&feature=youtube_gdata_player Then in round 13 they played us... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiptOEU7e-c&feature=youtube_gdata_player Does this situation sound familiar to anyone?

If our Toyota cup team wins this week and the Raiders first grade team beats Souths, it will be Bulldogs vs Raiders preliminary finals in both games.

BULLDOGS: No major injuries to report. Ennis has a rib complaint but in an attempt to down play the situation the club has said it was a case of severe winding. Either way he will be a definite starter in two weeks. We will play on Saturday 22nd as the swans have booked ANZ for the friday night...

We are all disappointed about last nights game and we all vent our frustration on here. But the boys are approaching the finals for the first time in 3 years and to abuse them on twitter doesn't help. We expect these players to give so much for our club and to treat them this way when they lose...

I've heard from a few people that some of the roosters players were running a muck in Coogee and Bondi yesterday to the point where they were refused entry into several establishments and ended up in a fist fight amoung themselves on the street. One player was said to be in tears after being hit...

Ok so we have won 12 straight and barring a massive choke we will win the minor premiership for the first time since 2004 but I'd be interested to know how confident people actually are heading into the finals. We have many positives but also a few negatives. Negatives that teams like Melbourne...

THE South Sydney Rabbitohs have ruled out any suggestion of "tanking" in one of their remaining premiership games to avoid a finals showdown with Melbourne Storm in Victoria, where they have never won an NRL game. An analysis of the likely finishing order after 26 rounds reveals Souths will...

I've been thinking about this for a while. I remember during the rugby world cup in 2003 that they set up "live sites" around the city for people to watch the on a specially built big screen. I thought it would be an awesome idea if one was set up at Belmore for the semis, especially if we make...

Last nights game was a cracker and one we won't forget in a hurry. It has got me thinking about some of the super doggies efforts ive seen over the years. My two favorites are Dogs vs Dragons 1995 knockout final where Dean Paye scored in the dying minutes in the mud. The other is of coarse the...

So there are a lot of polls on the Kennel at the moment so I thought I'd ask the rest of you who you think is the most underrated bulldogs player of the past 20 years.

Good luck to Josh Morris tonight. Hope he has a blinder and gets through the game injury free and most importantly I hope he helps the blues destroy those filthy toads.

So it looks like Mad pup is out for a long time with a dislocated elbow which means we have lost yet another outside back. Added to the fact that we will be without Morris for most of origin we look to really be stretched for depth. Macdougall, brown, turner all out, Lett reportedly quit and...
