The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs enjoyed a revitalised 2024 season, making a successful return to the finals. New recruit Stephen Crichton
played a pivotal role, earning the Dally M Captain of the Year award after inspiring his team with standout leadership. Although their
season ended on a disappointing note due to a drug scandal involving Josh Addo-Carr, the Bulldogs are well-positioned to continue their progress.
In 2024, only three players are confirmed to be leaving the Bulldogs, though several others remain uncertain about their futures. Jeral
Skelton will join the Wests Tigers, while Harrison Edwards is heading to the North Queensland Cowboys. Zane Tetevano will retire from the NRL, capping off his time with the club.
Josh Addo-Carr’s departure makes the biggest headlines, following a positive roadside drug test. A full list of confirmed departures includes
Addo-Carr, Jordan Samrani, Joash Papalii, Skelton, Edwards, Hayze Perham, Chris Patolo, Tetevano, and Poasa Faamausili, with the latter two retiring.
For the 2025 season, the Bulldogs have already secured two key signings. Tom Amone will join from the Leigh Leopards, while Sitili Tupouniua
arrives from the Sydney Roosters. The club has also bolstered its backline with the return of Marcelo Montoya and the addition of Enari Tuala from Newcastle.
