The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have made an exciting announcement regarding their coaching staff for the 2024 season.
Bulldogs legend, Michael (Mick) Potter, will be taking on the role of the Bulldogs' NSW Cup Head Coach.
This move sees Potter transition from his current position as an NRL assistant coach to focus on the development of the Club's future NRL players.
Potter, a highly experienced and accomplished coach, will now have the opportunity to nurture and guide the emerging talent within the Bulldogs' ranks.
His vast coaching experience will be invaluable as he works towards helping these players achieve their dreams of playing in the first-grade team.
This appointment comes as a replacement for David Tangata-Toa, who has moved on to join the New Zealand Warriors.

He was a key member of the Bulldogs' Premiership-winning sides in 1984 and 1985, and now he will have the chance to contribute to the club's future success from a coaching standpoint.
Throughout his coaching career, Potter has held various positions across different leagues, including the Super League, NRL, NSWRL, and Fiji National Rugby League representative teams.
This wealth of experience will undoubtedly benefit the Bulldogs' NSW Cup squad as they strive to develop into top-tier players.
The Bulldogs' decision to bring in a respected figure like Potter demonstrates their commitment to building a strong future for the club.
With his guidance, the emerging talent within the Bulldogs' ranks will have the best possible chance to fulfill their potential and make a significant impact at the NRL level.
