Canterbury Bulldogs odds
Another year, another shocker for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

How will Canterbury fare in NRL 2022? Let’s check in with the bookies.

Best Canterbury Bulldogs bets for NRL 2022
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:
- The Bulldogs claimed the wooden spoon in 2021, and it is no surprise to see them start the year as favourites to retain that title. There have been a lot of key changes to the team this year, which can be a good thing, but 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 and top eight both in the best bets, but if the new guys gel and the coach does find a way to turn this team around, there is every chance the Dogs could sneak into the postseason.

Canterbury Bulldogs players to watch in 2022
Josh Addo-Carr
Born: 28/7/1995
Games: 127
Tries: 102
Position: Winger
The Bulldogs have been criticised in recent years for investing too heavily in outside backs, but Josh Addo-Carr isn’t just any old winger. Besides his immense skill as a footballer, the former Storm superstar also brings a wealth of knowledge from his time with one of the strongest sporting organisations in the country. That’s exactly what the Doggies need.
Matt Burton
Born: 14/3/2000
Games: 32
Tries: 20
Position: Five-eighth
It is a testament to the depth of Penrith’s squad that most of Matt Burton’s 32 appearances there came in the centres. He was a big contributor to the Panthers’ premiership win last year, but now he has an opportunity to properly showcase his skills in his preferred position at five-eighth. This is one of the guys that can take the Dogs forward in a big way.
Kyle Flanagan
Born: 15/9/1998
Games: 42
Tries: 6
Position: Halfback
It’s been a strange few years for Kyle Flanagan. He looked set to be Sydney’s long-term halfback, but that adventure lasted only a single season. The Bulldogs picked him up off the scrap heap last year and gave him another go, but he was in and out of the side in the back half of a wooden-spoon campaign. If the Flanagan-Burton pairing doesn’t work, it could be curtains for Kyle in the NRL.

- 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.
