PATRON’S REPORT Mr. John Khoury
Dear CBDRLRA members, As you know the Bulldogs have had a long and proud association with your wonderful association. Together, we have served our local community through our special junior league competition and your CBDRLRA members. This has helped unite so many diverse cultures, religions, and backgrounds. As we work towards ensuring a successful season ahead, you should be proud of the role that you are playing in developing the sport within the Bulldogs local community. We always say that the Bulldogs are more than just an NRL team. They are a club that represents much more across our wonderful and diverse local community. Collectively, we are paving a way for young athletes in our district to follow their dreams and aspirations. Part of this is to improve and invest in our local grassroots communities, including our junior rugby league programs. We also need to provide continual support and encouragement to create an environment for ongoing and sustained success, on and off the field. Whilst the last few years have been challenging regarding our results, the club has responded quickly to create the right environment for 2022, and beyond. We have decided to return to being a ‘Development’ club once again, with a focus on establishing a system that best gives players from the Junior League the opportunity to move into the Bulldogs Junior Development Program. 4
