Kouparitsas and Perry named in Bulldogs side for Panthers clash
Tue March 20, 2007
by Matthew O'Neill
Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes has named Adam Perry and Nick Kouparitsas in the starting side for Friday night's crunch game against Penrith following an ankle injury to Corey Hughes and of course Sonny Bill Williams being banned for two matches.

Hughes is likely to be out of action for the next 6-8 weeks and Perry was the obvious replacement after a solid game in Premier League last week. Perry has trimmed down in the off season and it's the fittest he has been for some time.

Kouparitsas does a direct swap with Williams and played in the semi-final against Canberra last year where he performed admirably. Williams took the two match ban today, but not before comment by Chief Executive Malcolm Noad and Coach Steve Folkes about the processes and officialdom within the NRL ranks.

Noad said, "Sonny will take an early plea, however, the vision we saw reinforces our view that the tackle should have been graded 'careless' rather than 'reckless'."

"The Club also reaffirms its position that despite the unfortunate outcome the tackle did not warrant a send off, there was no swinging arm, no closed fist and Andrew Johns had been tackled by another player and was dropping. That decision by the referee has now set the precedent for the send off of players for high tackles for the rest of the season.

"The send off also effectively means that Sonny gets a week on top of the grading."

Folkes commented on the standard of refereeing in the clash where Tony Archer and Steve Clark collectively put the Bulldogs out of contention in the clash. The long-serving Bulldogs coach who played for Australia in the 1980's said, "We are disappointed with a number of decisions throughout Sunday's game and will be lodging a formal report with the NRL.

"We understand that referees are human and from time-to-time will make mistakes and because of that we are not in the habit of using referee's decisions as an excuse. However, we believe the officiating on Sunday was below NRL standard and incorrect decisions had a direct result on the outcome of the game."

It wasn't the first time that Archer has been savage on the Bulldogs with a clash against Cronulla last year reducing them to 11-men for a 10 minute period.

Friday's clash against Penrith at CUA Stadium shapes up as a very important one even at this early stage for the Bulldogs. They have to shake off the demons of surrendering big leads and get the bogey out of their system if they are to enjoy a successful 2007 season.

Ben Roberts gets another chance at halfback with Brent Sherwin not named in the first grade side whilst Trent Cutler holds onto the wing position with Matt Utai still injured.

Luke Patten wins Bulldogs player of the year

Mitsubishi Electric Bulldogs fullback Luke Patten was named the Bulldogs Player of the Year last night at the Club's annual Presentation Awards Dinner.

Patten was rewarded for the most consistent season of his career. Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes commented, "Luke has had a terrific year and is a deserved recipient of this honour."

Patten was one of only three team members to play in every game (26) this season. He was the club's second highest tryscorer with 10 and led the stats for most hit-ups/runs with 523 and most metres gained with 4,862 (an average of 187 per game).

Bulldogs hooker Adam Perry was named the Bulldogs Clubman of the Year for his 10 years of service to the Club. Perry made his grade debut for the Bulldogs in 1997 as a 17-year-old playing in the under 19s. The following year he made his Premier League debut and in 1999 at the age of 19 he played his first NRL match in round 8 against the Roosters.

All up Perry has played 205 club games for the Bulldogs - 113 in First Grade; 59 in Premier League; 32 in Jersey Flegg and 1 World Club Challenge.

The Bulldogs Rookie of the Year award went to five eight Daniel Holdsworth. Like Patten, he featured in all 26 games for the Bulldogs this season, although cruelly lasted just 18 minutes in the Grand Final qualifier injuring his ankle while scoring a try. Holdsworth made the move from the Dragons to the 'Dogs for the 2006 season and proved many critics wrong who had concerns over the young five-eight and his ability to play such a key position.

Other award winners on the night included Adam Brideson who was named Premier League Player of the Year and Jamie Clark who picked up Jersey Flegg Player of the Year honours.

The 2006 Bulldogs Presentation Night also saw the unveiling of the inaugural Peter Warren Medal for Community Service. This award was named after the late Peter Warren, a man who gave so much support to the Bulldogs and to many charities and community organisations, was handed to Bulldogs captain Andrew Ryan.

Ryan is an acting ambassador for the PCYC assisting with youth projects in the western region of NSW. He has also been an ambassador for the White Ribbon Day campaign (Anti-Violence Against Women) for the last two years. Through this role he has worked with the Bankstown Domestic Violence Liaison Committee to increase awareness in local high schools of issues around violence against women.

In addition, he helped establish the Andrew Ryan Cup - a knockout rugby league competition for U13s and U15s with competing teams from western regional towns from Cobar to Lithgow.

During the off season and bye weekends Andrew always returns home coordinating his visits with charity fundraisers for the Dubbo Base Hospital and rugby league coaching clinics with the local junior clubs.

As part of the Bulldogs Club, Andrew has worked with the youth of Macquarie Fields in coordination with the Youth Off The Streets program run by Fr Chris Riley.
