Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs
Ennis playing against the DragonsEnnis joined the Bulldogs from the Broncos for the 2009 season.
He was selected for Country in the City vs Country match on 8 May 2009.
Ennis made his State of Origin debut for New South Wales in Game III of the 2009 series, replacing bitter rival Robbie Farah who was dropped. Ennis made an impact in his first game as the Blues won a dead rubber match, 28-16 with Ennis landing three goals from three attempts.
He filled the full-time goal-kicking role at the Bulldogs in 2010, replacing Hazem El Masri, who retired in 2009. However, he was replaced by Bryson Goodwin after a couple of games due to his poor goal-kicking ability.
Ennis played in all three games in 2010, all resulting in losses. In the third match, Ennis was blamed by some for costing NSW victory when he gave away a penalty by punching Queensland's Nate Myles with six minutes to go (NSW at the time were leading 18-13). There have since been calls for Ennis not to play for New South Wales ever again, but, despite this, he was selected for all three games the following series, also lost.
In the 3 year period from the start of 2008 season, Ennis was penalised in games 58 times, the 2nd most of any player in the NRL behind Anthony Watmough.
In February, 2011, Michael signed a new 3 year contract with Canterbury.
