When new Bulldogs chief executive Aaron Warbuton officially begins work in his second stint at Belmore, he will do so with the following philosophy in mind.
“When everyone works together at Canterbury, the club is firing,” Warbuton said. “Simple as that.”
For the first time in recent memory, there appears an opportunity for that to happen. The family club – long plagued by political bickering, threats of extraordinary general meetings and boardroom coups – has emerged with a new chair, a new coach and a new-look playing roster.

Warbuton’s job is to bring them all together and ensure a frustrated fan base joins him for the journey after succeeding Andrew Hill.

“There’s politics in football, but when you have a clear vision and a team that can execute, you just keep marching forward,” Warburton told the Herald in his first interview. “Everyone that is passionate about Canterbury wants to ensure the club is where it should be.
“The way I look at it is that people can go about showing their passion in a number of different ways.
“For me, it’s about harnessing that passion and delivering, so that I am accountable.

“I have been appointed for a reason and … my message to the board is that I can get in there and pull people with me. We can get to where we need to get to if we keep our blinkers on.

“One of my strengths is just getting in there and getting the job done. It’s a team effort, but it’s putting everything aside and working towards the ultimate goal.”
Warbuton’s appointment is a homecoming after previously serving as Canterbury’s head of commercial partnerships from 2010-17, luring brands such as KIA to Belmore. He worked closely alongside Todd Greenberg and Des Hasler during a successful period he believes can be reproduced if all stakeholders pull together in the right direction.

“When Canterbury is humming along, I know our competitors are watching over their shoulder,” he said.

“A strong Canterbury is a strong comp.

“You can sense the optimism. Even when opposing fans aren’t throwing mud, you can sense there’s something bubbling.

“With Canterbury and the team that’s coming together, everyone is excited.

Bring back the madness, heard that one too...let's see, has a bit of Greenberg about him can certainly hold his own.

Gotta give the club credit as a whole too though, it was just a couple mere months ago we were in turmoil surrounded by so much uncertainty regarding the board & recruitment & sponsors. We’ve actually cleaned up very well. Quick
