"IT HAS been 48 years since the Bulldogs last missed the finals on three consecutive occasions, but hooker Michael Ennis believes all is finally ready for Canterbury to break their two-year finals drought.
Des Hasler has been in charge at Belmore for just three days but Ennis, the man most likely to lead the Bulldogs, said the new coach hadn't taken long to leave his mark on the playing group. Hasler won't take on full-time duties at the Bulldogs until Monday but in his short time with the club, there is already genuine belief Canterbury can play finals football next year.
''Previous to the last two years, I hadn't missed the finals in my career,'' Ennis said. ''It's been a bit of a letdown, that's for sure. It's something that I hope doesn't occur again and I think, as a club, we've put all the right things in place to ensure we'll be around in September.''
He hopes Hasler can instil Manly-like characteristics at the Bulldogs that will help them again become one of the most feared teams in the competition.

Well they're halfway there already.SeaEagleRock8 said:"He hopes Hasler can instil Manly-like characteristics at the Bulldogs"
Interesting. Ennis wants the Bulldogs to play tough, win the comp, implode and then sack the coach.

They've got the "implode and then sack the coach" part down pat.
