I removed the following text from the Bulldogs history: "Eventually all this settled down and the title officially became what most of the fans called the team, the Canterbury Bulldogs." I have checked nrl.com.au, the Bulldogs official web site (where they are officially call Bulldogs Rugby League Club Limited) and even the "Big League" magazine (NRL official mag') still calls them just Bulldogs. -- Timothy Hitchcock
- While I'm sure that it was correct, they may have changed it back. Oh well as I can't find anything to confirm what I'm saying, I guess we leave it out Steven jones 03:21, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Scandals
An anonymous user included a section that was at a minimum very POV and posibbly just plain vadalism. I have removed the section. If someone wants to add a reasonable section on the scandals the bulldogs have been involved in in the last few years it will probably help stop people adding garbage. If no-one else does, I may do it myself soon. Steven jones 03:09, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- That would be a good idea; someone should add NPOV info about the rape scandals by the Bulldogs. --realwingus 11:18, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Old logo
Despite my best efforts on Google I have not been able to source a good quality picture of the old Bulldogs logo, last used in 1996. I personally think it is still better than the current logo. If anyone knows where to find, please leave a message on my page. Dankru 00:33, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- Never mind, I found one. Am I the only person to reckon the "new" logo looks stupid?Dankru 22:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bulldogs Song
Added our current bulldogs theme song
Added our famous supporters, thats all i could come up with
Added major sponsors
Will add more later
- Moved the song to it's own page, thought maybe other team songs could go there too. Tiburon 10:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Noted former players
Created the table of past players as thought it looked better than just a plain list. I just included all former interntionals and players to have represented NSW/QLD and some rather famous ex-bulldogs.
Anyone i've missed or debate on who should be added is welcome.Tiburon 10:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- An excellent table - hopefully you plan to use this as a template for other clubs.--Alexio 11:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Follow-up: In fact I'm going to steal this table and use it on the Gold Coast Giants/Seagulls/Chargers page!--Alexio 12:15, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Move
Should we move the page from 'Canterbury Bulldogs' to 'Bulldogs rugby league team'? 'Canterbury' no longer applies in an official sense... what do we think?
- Done.Timmah86 10:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vote on introduction entry
Dear all - I have the following quote in the intro as at least 30% of the time the club is called 'Canterbury' by people in the press. Another editor 'Timmah86' does not agree. RAther than entering an edit war I am proposing a vote:
"Ironically, though the club is now officially known as the Bulldogs, having dropped 'Canterbury-Bankstown' from its name, it is still often called Canterbury by players, commentators and fans alike"
Support remaining in the introduction

Remove
- Timmah86
- Comment Personally I'd like to see a comprimise on both parts of the argument. For me, that one paragraph should be removed from the start into the main section of the body, because I can't see anywhere else in the article where it refers to the name drop. I reckon the opening line should read:
-
-
-
- The Bulldogs (also known as Canterbury, Canterbury-Bankstown) are a team in the National Rugby League (NRL), the premier rugby league football competition in Australia.
-
-
Perhaps then include a footnote next to the them Canterbury name and include a note about how people still refer to them as "Canterbury." --mdmanser 09:04, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with Mdmanser on the comprimise - discuss, don't vote. But each to their own... Daniel.Bryant 06:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
-
- OK OK, so I'm outvoted. The note is in the 'emblem and name' section nowCas Liber 14:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Completely agree with Mdmanser and Daniel Bryant. It is the logical solution. GizzaChat © 11:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Moving History onto a separate History page yet?
I've noticed that many articles, once the history section starts to get detailed, the History gets summarised and the full one goes on a separate page (and can really go to town with loads of detail :) . Do we think this page is long enough to do this here? cheers Cas Liber 19:17, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
