Canterbury Bulldogs odds
Another year, another shocker for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
Only the unmitigated disaster that was the Brisbane Broncos prevented the Dogs from claiming the wooden spoon in 2020, so new coach Trent Barrett has a big job on his hands.
How will Canterbury fare in NRL 2021? Let’s check in with the bookies.

Best Canterbury Bulldogs bets for NRL 2020
There are dozens of NRL betting markets for Canterbury-Bankstown, but where are they likely to return some real value?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- This year the Bulldogs have gained a lot of interesting players two of them being Nick Cotric and Kyle Flanagan one of these two could definitely be in the top 10 race for the Dally M Medal as long as the team learns to gel with each other.
- The Bulldogs narrowly missed the all mighty wooden spoon with Brisbane Broncos taking the spot as the ‘worst’ team in 2020. However bookmakers still have Bulldogs as the favourite to take out the wooden spoon for the 2021 season. There have been a lot of key changes to the team this year which can be a good thing however if the new coach Trent Barrett cannot fix this team and the culture doesn’t improve, this is a very good bet.
- You don’t have to look to far into the past for examples of teams bolting into finals contention after being written off in preseason. It may seem strange to put the Wooden Spoon market and Top 8 market both in the best bets, however if Trent Barrett does find a way to turn this team around and with the new players joining the 30 man squad this year we could really see an early 2000’s Canterbury Bulldogs team and see them sneak into the finals for the first time in four years.

Canterbury Bulldogs players to watch in 2021
Corey Allan
Born: 19/4/1998
Games: 29
Tries: 8
Position: Fullback
Corey Allan was one of the key players poached by Canterbury to join the team for the 2021 season. Last year was a significant year for the young player as he wasn’t given a shot to play until round 10 so had to make and impression. An impression is exactly what he proved himself scoring 5 tries, 6 try-assists, 20 tackle break and 7 line breaks in 10 appearances. Corey Allan didn’t move to fullback until Round 17 however made the position his own and helped the Rabbitohs make it to the preliminary finals. If he makes a smooth transition to the new club we should be expecting a bigger display of what he can really do.
Nick Cotric
Born: 18/11/1998
Games: 93
Tries: 46
Position: Winger
With the 2020 season being another disappointing one for the Bulldogs they have recruited some fresh talent and 2017 Rookie of the year Nick Cotric is one of those players. Having 46 tries in four seasons and making 126 tackle breaks in the 2020 season, the bulldogs will be expecting him to make a big impact on the attacking line and help potentially turn this team around.
Kyle Flanagan
Born: 15/9/1998
Games: 29
Tries: 5
Position: Halfback
Kyle Flanagan’s season last year can only be described as interesting. Playing for the Sydney Roosters he started the season off with a bang and was leading the top point scorer competition before Trent Robinson made the decision to drop him from the starting squad and then dropping him from the team at the end of the season. Kyle managed to score 198 points, with 11 try assists and averaging 257 kicking metres for the season. We can only expect he will have a bit more freedom to play his own game this year with the team being completely shifted which should result in another great season for this young player.

- Formed in 1934, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are the oldest surviving expansion club in the top flight of Australian rugby league. Only two teams in the NRL have contested more first-grade premierships: the Sydney Roosters and the South Sydney Rabbitohs, both foundation members of the NSWRL.
It took Canterbury only four years to win their first flag, and only four more to repeat the feat. However, things got much tougher after World War II. The Berries, as they were once known, were nowhere near it in the 1950s and did not reach the grand final again until 1967, when they ended St George’s 11-year premiership streak with a one-point win in the prelim. They lost the decider to South Sydney, who would go on to win four titles between ’67 and ’71.
That year was something of a watershed for Canterbury. The club grew stronger as the ’70s progressed and developed an exciting, free-flowing brand of footy that took them to the GF in 1974 and 1979. They lost both of those encounters, but the drought broke at last in 1980 when the Dogs exacted revenge for ’74 with an 18-4 demolition of Eastern Suburbs.
The floodgates were open. Canterbury added back-to-back flags in 1984 and 1985, then another in ’88. They finished the decade as one of the strongest teams in the division, which put them in a position of rare security while other clubs battled for survival during the Super League wars of the 1990s.
