If it's Canterbury, our dog is definitely watching

Our dog RORY doesn't watch much television, but she actually did pay attention this morning.
Why?
The visiting CANTERBURY BULLDOGS defeated the PENRITH PANTHERS, 22-14, in the season's first NATIONAL RUGBY LEAGUE game for each club.
I guess Rory just feels a natural affinity for Bulldogs.
Ben Barba, Josh Morris, Bryson Goodwin and Josh Reynolds scored tries for Canterbury, who were outplayed by Penrith for much of the game. The Dogs' play improved in the second half, just as Penrith's fortunes dipped.
The Panthers lost two players to injuries, wings Michael Gordon and David Simmons.
Gordon's loss could be profound. Penrith's star player suffered a suspected broken leg in the game (yet walked off the field -- a sign of the toughness of rugby league players).
I was thrilled to be able to watch NRL on American television. Last season, our only option was listening to games on the radio.
I do love listening to rugby league on the radio, but it is a treat to see some on TV, too.
Our dog appears to agree -- as long as we're watching her Canterbury Bulldogs.
