Bulldogs to wear Pink Socks in support of Breast Cancer
Thu July 3, 2008

The Mitsubishi Electric Bulldogs are set to abandon their traditional blue and white and will take to the field in hot pink socks for their clash with the South Sydney Rabbitohs at ANZ Stadium on Monday 7 July.

The socks have been specially commissioned by the Bulldogs to raise awareness of and funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and will be signed by each of the players and auctioned on graysonline.com.au from Tuesday.

Monday's match will also celebrate the involvement of women in the Club with the wives, partners and mothers of players to be honoured at a dinner and in what is believed to be a first for the game, the Bulldogs will use a female ground announcer for the night.

Injured Bulldogs utility Michael Sullivan and his sister Neroli who lost their mother to breast cancer in 2004 will address the dinner, relaying some of their own experiences and encouraging fans to support the cause.

"My family has been directly affected by Cancer, therefore we would like to encourage everybody to support the club as we try to raise awareness," Sullivan said today.

"Personally I would like to encourage everybody to get every scan they need done, as my mum passed away with secondary cancer, which possibly could have been avoided had the secondary cancer been detected early."

The National Breast Cancer Foundation CEO, Ms Sue Murray welcomed the support of the Bulldogs.

"More than 13,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed this year. This is devastating not only for the person who is diagnosed, but also for their family, friends and colleagues. Survival is improving due to better detection and improved treatments, but the importance of ongoing research cannot be underestimated.

"It is wonderful to see the Bulldogs supporting breast cancer research in such a unique way. Having the whole team decked out in pink socks will help raise awareness and much needed funds for this disease, which will take us one step closer towards prevention and an eventual cure," Ms Murray said.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation is one of five key charities that the Bulldogs will support this year. Already the Club has led a Blood Drive for the Red Cross, filled 10 wheelie bins full of food for the Salvation Army, formed a partnership with the RSPCA and later this season will host the Bandaged Bear Cup as a major fundraiser for the Westmead Childrens' Hospital.

Sullivan signs two year deal with the Bulldogs
Fri July 20, 2007
by Matthew O'Neill
Warrington Wolves have confirmed that hooker Michael Sullivan will be joining the Bulldogs on a two-year deal at the end of this season.

The 27-year-old broke his arm in the Round 20 v Salford City Reds clash last weekend and is set to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks after having an operation to plate it.

Sullivan joined the Wolves from Cronulla Sharks in 2006 and has made 38 appearances for the Wolves scoring 8 tries.

The Wolves on their website www.warringtonwolves.com said, "The Club would like to thank Mike for his service over the last two seasons on and off the field, having contributed to so many Foundation projects."

Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes said, "With all the talk about NRL players going to England, he's bucking that trend and coming back.

"Michael will be very handy for us, particularly around the ruck.''

Sullivan is the second player this week to return from England to the NRL with former Bulldogs player Ben Harris quitting Bradford to link with North Queensland.

The arrival of Sullivan all but spells the end of Adam Perry's 11 seasons at Canterbury, which have included nine in the top grade.
