BULLDOGS
Jackson Topine (second row): Captained Australian Schoolboys in 2019 and was named the Bulldogs 2020 club person of the year for his superb attitude. Even more impressive when you consider Topine is still 19 and this award was presented to him after spending a season inside the bubble, which all the players said was the toughest year they’ve ever had.
Chris Patolo (middle/edge): A talented local junior from Bankstown, Patolo has impressed with his attitude. Has been in the club’s junior rep system for some time and training for a chance to crack the big time under Trent Barrett.
Paul Karaitiana.
Joseph O’Neill.
Kurt Picken (centre): A talented outside back from the Yarrawarrah Tigers in the Cronulla junior comp. Has been in the Bulldogs’ junior system for a few years now and has a chance to impress in the full-time squad over summer.
Paul Karaitiana (halves): Arrived via Keebra Park, where he grew up playing alongside the likes of David Fifita and Tanah Boyd. Also a gun touch player who represented Australia in under-18s.
Joseph O’Neill (five-eighth): Still SG Ball age so is a long way off first grade but has talent and a tremendous attitude. Westfields Sports High coach Wayne Lambkin reckons O’Neill “is just a scholar of the game, and you wouldn’t meet a nicer kid”.
