We continue our which five former players we'd bring back series with the Canterbury Bulldogs.
For those who have missed previous editions, these are players who have stared for the club in the past who would fit into the modern day side to assist them in their journey towards an NRL title.
As I'm in my mid 30s, I'm keeping to players who I've largely seen, and also not including current players who have moved on. Recently retired players won't be considered either. Therefore the likes of Mortimer and Folkes missed out based purely on my not seeing them play live.

4. Andrew Ryan
Yes, technically Ryan played for the Dogs early this year but no one is counting his 9s appearance ... at least I'm not, plus it would be a travesty to leave him out of this list based on what I saw.
Another player who would massively improve the squad through both his talents and also his leadership qualities. With the recent departure of two Bulldogs players they currently need both.
Although Ryan debuted at the Eels, it was his time at the Dogs that made him a genuine star of the game. Playing 218 times for the club he captained the club to their 2004 title (albeit given Steve Price was unavailable for the decider) and won Dally M captain of the year during his time also.
A New South Wales regular with 12 caps, he also represented Australia 11 times.
I'd love to see him slot into the lock position in the current Bulldogs side, which would force a fearsome middle with Dylan Napa and the below player.
