When Michael Ennis runs out for Cronulla on Sunday afternoon at Belmore Sports Ground, not only will he be up against his old Bulldogs teammates in front of a vocal crowd, but he'll be doing everything in his power to get one up on his daughter's new godfather Josh Reynolds, who he says is in an "incredible" vein of form.

Despite leaving Canterbury after six seasons, Ennis and Reynolds are still great mates off the field, and just last Sunday the Bulldogs five-eighth attended the christening of Ennis' 11-month-old daughter Evelyn at a church in Caringbah.

Bulldogs skipper James Graham and Trent Hodkinson were among a number of other former teammates who also attended the ceremony, as did a handful of players from the Sharks.

It was a logistical nightmare, however, for Ennis to ensure mates from both teams could attend, given the Bulldogs and Sharks have had to play on either a Sunday or Monday since round nine.
