RL:Underhill or Undertaker? Dogs laud deadly new hitman

Canterbury forward Jack Underhill ought to think about changing his name to Jack Undertaker after producing a bone-rattling tackle that would send most people to an early grave.

The raw-boned 21-year-old, who conceded he'd "never met a Lebanese person" before signing with the Dogs, had Canterbury fans off their feet in celebration on Friday at Accor Stadium when he belted Melbourne's Alec Macdonald.

The tackle, which came at a crucial point in a 30-20 win that ended a five-game winless run for the Dogs, is an early contender for hit of the season.

Macdonald was rocked by the rookie Bulldogs prospect, who only made his debut a week earlier in the Magic Round loss to Cronulla but is quickly making a name for himself.
