Bulldogs backflip: Blake Green to stay with Newcastle Knights

Canterbury had signed the veteran half on a one-year deal but a serious injury forced both parties into a rethink.

Blake Green’s return to Belmore has lasted just nine days with Canterbury officially releasing the injured half.
The Bulldogs had signed the veteran half on a one-year deal earlier this year as cover for Kieran Foran before Green ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament soon after, forcing both parties into a rethink. Canterbury will make an announcement later today.
Green is expected to stay on with Newcastle after joining the club mid-season from the New Zealand Warriors.

The 34-year-old may have a dual coaching/playing role with the Knights but will miss the early part of the 2021 season because of the injury.
Green’s arrival was supposed to be a homecoming of sorts having played for Canterbury in 2010, but The Daily Telegraph last month revealed Green could backflip on his deal to remain in Newcastle.
The Bulldogs have since signed Sydney Roosters halfback Kyle Flanagan and are pursuing Penrith’s Matt Burton.
