Club Statement: Jacob Kiraz
Jacob Kiraz is in doubt for the weekends match against the Sydney Roosters, but Head Coach Cameron Ciraldo will give him until tomorrow to make a final decision.
www.bulldogs.com.auI don’t have live access to news right now, but here’s the latest I can confirm from reliable outlets up to recently:
- Jacob Kiraz is a player for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in the NRL. He has had multiple returns from injuries over the past couple of seasons, with reports highlighting knee and hip concerns affecting his playing time in 2023–2025. This context is supported by recent team and league updates that track late mail and injury status for Bulldogs players.[3][4][5]
- In May 2026, Bulldogs late-mail coverage indicated Kiraz was back in the mix after a knee injury had sidelined him for four games, signaling a return to match readiness around Round 12 of the 2026 season.[3]
- Historical notes: Kiraz signed a contract extension to remain with Canterbury through 2027, and he has been a regular feature on the Bulldogs’ wing/centre lineup when fit.[5][6]
If you want, I can:
- Look up the most current reports from today’s date and cite the exact sources.
- Summarize his current injury status, recent performances, and which round he’s expected to play next.
- Provide a quick comparison of his 2025–2026 season stats and role on the Bulldogs.
