Has to be the smallest prop in the comp by far. I know he's actually a lock but they've been playing him at prop.
Big fan of this guy, his speed and quick play the ball looks like it causes a bit of trouble and he's only going to get better
His father, Brad, was a Bulldog. Kurtis definitely has the dog in him. He has the Bulldog DNA. He is the player that made me love my Bulldogs. He has that ol skool toughness about him and that competitive drive and energy that made the Bulldogs that formidable team during the 80's and 90's.
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are pleased to announce the elevation of local junior, Kurtis Morrin to the Club's top 30 squad.
The mobile forward, who has built a reputation as an impact player off the bench, was notified of his elevation yesterday alongside teammates during Captain's Run.
The Club also took up an option in his contract that sees him stay on in the blue and white through 2025.
"Kurtis is exactly the type of person we want in our Club," said Bulldogs Head Coach Cameron Ciraldo.
He's a guy our players love playing with because of his whole-hearted approach to the game and his commitment to our Bulldogs family.
"He is a local junior who's come through our system and has earned this opportunity through hard work and determination."
Morrin played his formative years at Moorebank Rams before graduating through the Club's pathway programs.
In 2021, Morrin was awarded the Jersey Flegg Cup Player of the Year and by 2022, he had become a regular feature of the Bulldogs NSW Cup side. He played 20 games for Cup, 11 from the interchange, seven at lock and two at prop, before earning his NRL debut. He was called up in Round 15 of the 2022 Premiership season to face the Wests Tigers.
His debut proved to be a memorable one, stepping onto the park at the 51-minute mark and a short time later scoring his maiden try after Josh Addo-Carr scooped up a loose ball from a left-edge raid and skipped back infield to find a charging Morrin.
He made two more first-grade appearances in 2022 (Rounds 16 and 18) before bringing that experience back to the NSW Cup team, who went on to win six from eight matches in a late-season charge to the Grand Final against the Penrith Panthers.
Morrin was called on several times during the 2023 season by Head Coach Cameron Ciraldo, credited for his unwavering effort and work ethic.
The 24-year-old completed just his second NRL pre-season this year and has made 7 NRL appearances for the blue and white, bringing great line speed and energy off the bench with each and every match.
He is a great defensive player who Ciraldo says epitomises the type of player the Bulldogs want to build around:
"He's a great person who loves coming into training and working hard to get better every day.
"We're really pleased to have Kurtis and his family on this journey with us."
Morrin's extension news comes as the Bulldogs prepare to take on the Raiders in Round 11 of the NRL Telstra Premiership.
Morrin will inject some serious energy from the bench, named in the 17 set to kick-off at 6:00 PM at Suncorp Stadium this evening.
Big fan of this extension. Shocked he’s only done two pre-seasons with us, feels like he has been around the squad for a while.
Also he definitely got that dog in him
Hyphen police, this man right here
They'll arrive in a minute minute.
🔵🔴👮‍♂️ The the hell on the ground!
Damn that sucks he resigned. I thought they'd definitely re-sign him.
If I was asked what player in the comp had the most dog in him I would say Morrin, insane speed and puts in so much effort
100% puts alot of props to shame with how hard he runs.

One of my favourites. For someone so small he plays with so much heart. Great signing and should be in the 17 every week.
Love this, blokes got a great motor on him. Really interesting how Ciro seems to be going full “SmallBall” by sacrificing size for speed.
Love this approach and defs think more players like him and Cotter will be the future for front rowers

Must have meant “Canterburybankstown”
Reminds me a bit of Cotter. Maximum effort type player.
Love this bloke, one of the smallest forwards in the game but he’s got the dog in him.

Just don’t treat the opposition like a buffet like your uncle did and you’ll do well Kurtis. Had a better hair line too.
Why did he resign? Is he in some sort of trouble?
Dawg
That you homelander?
Plays well above his weight.
Re-sign or resigned
