Today the 8th of November Xerri returns to the wonderful game of Rugby league nut it's not just a normal comeback story.

In 1995, the basketball world was abuzz with excitement as Michael Jordan announced his return to the NBA after a brief retirement. The news sent shockwaves through the sports community, reminiscent of the anticipation surrounding Bronson Xerri's comeback in the NRL with the Canterbury Bulldogs many years later.

Both Jordan and Xerri shared a common thread in their comebacks - a burning passion for the game that had defined their careers. Jordan, widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, had left the Chicago Bulls at the peak of his career to try his hand at baseball. Similarly, Xerri, a talented rugby league player, had faced adversity with a suspension due to a doping scandal.



The anticipation surrounding their returns was palpable. Fans and media alike speculated on whether Jordan could still dominate the basketball court, and whether Xerri could regain his form and reputation on the rugby league field. Both were met with uncertainty and questions about their abilities.



Jordan's comeback with the Bulls began with some rusty performances, but he quickly found his groove and led his team to another championship, silencing the doubters. Similarly, Xerri faced challenges on his path to redemption with the Canterbury Bulldogs. He had to rebuild his fitness, adapt to the changing NRL landscape, and earn back the trust of his teammates and fans.



The parallels between these comebacks didn't end with their on-field performances. Both Jordan and Xerri possessed an unshakable work ethic and an insatiable desire to prove themselves once again. They displayed resilience in the face of adversity, serving as inspirations to others who faced setbacks in their own careers.



In the end, Michael Jordan's 1995 NBA comeback and Bronson Xerri's return to the NRL with the Canterbury Bulldogs were stories of determination, passion, and the unbreakable spirit of athletes who refused to let adversity define their legacies. Their journeys served as reminders that, in the world of sports, comebacks are not just about returning to the game; they're about proving that greatness knows no bounds, and that second chances can lead to unforgettable triumphs.

I put Xerri way in front of Jordan. Xerri plays a game I’ve watched consistently for 40 years. But I couldn’t watch 40 seconds of basketball without changing the channel. Such a boring boring game! It’s terrible.
all the best for 2024 and beyond Bronson!

Hope Xerri carves it nothing like a good redemption story and the club could do with some positive spin.
Not sure he will see a lot of ball if our pack gets bashed into submission every week.

"Xerri has set himself the goal of impressing coach Cameron Ciraldo and earning a spot for Canterbury’s opening-round NRL clash against Parramatta. It will be no easy task given he will be competing with outside backs including Stephen Crichton, Jacob Kiraz, Blake Wilson, Braidon Burns, Hayze Perham, Jayden Okunbor, Kurt Mann, Blake Taaffe and Jaeman Salmon."
Well I am sure that he will beat Jayden Okunbor to a backline spot in 2024! Do these knobs even read what is printed under their name?
