Brent Sherwin isn't your average ex-footy player. He is the LAST Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs halfback to win a grand final. His kicking game, footy IQ and passing game was considered second only to Joey Johns, at the time.

He joined Elmo live on The Kennel Podcast to discuss his career, the 2004 Grand Final and preview the Bulldogs Vs Panthers elimination final and his thoughts on how far the Bulldogs can go this year.

They had multiple players go down injured against a determined Melbourne team in Melbourne but fell at the lost hurdle. But are the Bulldogs down and out?The fallout from the game has been huge with several players going for scans on injuries this week including Toby Sexton, Jethro Rinakama, Stephen Crichton and Enari Tuala while Viliame and Kikau and Marcelo Montoya were already injured. But this week, everything is on the line. The Bulldogs will be taking on the Panthers for an opportunity to face the Broncos in a preliminary final. The storylines for this game are monumental. Ciraldo vs Panthers. Sexton redemption story, Burton back to the position where he won a GF. Crichton coming up against his own team. A replay of one of the best games of the year. So many things to discuss. However everyone has written the Bulldogs off. The whole NRL is essentially predicting that the Panthers will run over the Bulldogs in this game. But after the team's gritty performance on Friday against Melbourne, I think this is more hate than reality!What do you think?

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs keep proving they’re the NRL’s comeback kings, erasing a 14-0 deficit to stun the Roosters 24-20 and send Belmore into raptures. We’ll break down the key momentum swing, Burton’s masterclass and the defensive grit that sealed the win.

But there’s no time to celebrate: with 11 first-grade regulars sidelined and stars like Stephen Crichton and Max King unavailable, Cameron Ciraldo has named one of the most inexperienced squads of the season to face the Dolphins on Thursday night. What does the depth chart really look like, and where can the Dogs exploit the Phins?

Origin chat is heating up! Bulldogs enforcer Max King earns a maiden NSW Blues jersey off the bench, while in-form Tigers prop Terrell May is sensationally overlooked. We’ll dig into Laurie Daley’s thinking and what it means for both players – and for the Dogs’ middle rotation during the rep period.
