News ‘Put the house on it’: Viral NRL conspiracy says Bulldogs to win 2024 premiership

[Chris Harding]

The dynamic has changed this time round though.
17 teams and remember my thread how the Melbourne Storm stole us? That hasn’t taken into effect when 2004 was there.
Our best bet is to edge into the 8 and pray to Odin on the three 3x matchdays in the finals

Odin will want a sacrifice.

Maybe a few Kennelers could be banned as an offering.

You are kidding yourself if you think the dogs make the 8 in 24. I feel, at best scenario, is sneek into 8 in 25.

 

[DinkumDog]

We would have to improve 1000 fold. The top teams would need to implode

What if we rename ourselves Canterbradbury? :

 

[Ant2611]

Would be nice but I can only think of a word of four syllables to describe this..... de-lu-sion-al

We would have to improve 1000 fold. The top teams would need to implode and by far the biggest problem consists of the bunker and on field officials... Welcome to OZ....

Canterbury Bulldogs fans, the premiership wait is nearly over, if you believe the social media prophecy giving long-suffering fans hope.


Long-suffering Canterbury Bulldogs fans believe the nearly two-decade long premiership drought is almost over, according to a wild trend that has taken NRL social media by storm.
The Bulldogs had yet another horror season, finishing in 15th place on the NRL ladder with just seven wins and sporting the NRL’s worst defence and second worst attack in 2023.


The Bulldogs had a horror end to the season, winning just one of their last seven and two of their matches after round 12 and extending their finals drought another year, having last featured in the playoffs in 2016.

It also didn’t help that the club was embroiled in ugly accusations late in the season where first-year coach Cameron Ciraldo was slammed for his training practices after a player walked away from the club after a wrestling punishment dragged the club into the spotlight.

When you’re losing, everything becomes harder.

But despite the club’s dire position, the fans have some hope thanks to history.

The Bulldogs club has been around since 1935 but what interests fans most is the record since 1974.

In that season, the Dogs lost the grand final 19-4 to Eastern Suburbs.


A decade later in 1984, the club won its fourth premiership 6-4 over the Eels.

In 1994, Canberra beat the Bulldogs 36-12 in the grand final.

The Bulldogs’ last premiership victory was in 2004, a 16-13 win over the Roosters.


In 2014, the Dogs lost 30-6 against the Rabbitohs.

See where we’re going with this?

Since 1974, the club as gone L, W (1984), L (1994), W (2004) and L (2014), meaning the club is due for another W in 2024.

Interestingly, it was the Bulldogs that ended the last three-peat when the ended the Eels reign of premierships in 1981, 1982 and 1983 with a win in 1984.

Could history repeat itself again?

A TikTok user who goes by Trademark Sports added that in 2003, the Dogs won the Jersey Flegg competition, then won first grade in 2004.

I remember the fans saying that the Bulldogs were due to win the 1980 GF based on our 1938 and 1942 GF wins where 38 + 42 equalled 80 so a win in 1980.

Now let me see since 1980 we have won 84, 85, 88, 95, 2004. Thats 4+5+8+5+4 = 26. Sorry its going to be 2026 lol. But wait we can take 2 points off for the salary cap breach and because we should have won in 2002. Wow 2024 they may be right.

Hahaha I almost had more joy sending Fittler out a loser than winning the GF.

Ya wrong boi

 

[Dognacious]

only problem is we're a long way from even making the top 8 to begin with

If we keep going like recent weeks i reckon top 8 isnt silly. But winning the comp is reaching a bit high imo

 

[chemdog]

Na fuck that we winning the comp. Dream big

 

[Dognacious]

nah I've changed my mind where winning the comp this season!

Im ok with it if u r right but wont be putting any cash on it

 

[KLil]

Im being honest here... If this team can keep excelling whilst we also get guys like Sutto and Fafita fit and firing for bench spots whose to say we cant make the GF?

IM not saying we will win it but fcuk i'd be stoked if we can make a prelim and sneak into a GF, keeping the 10 year GF appearance history alive.

 

[Doggfather]

If we can sneak into the 8, then we can do a Hasler style run for the grand final.

We can be competitive against every single team in the comp.

 

[Bob dog]

Too early to say, if you say that we wont go close.
Week by week semi final intensity fully determined hectic bro, top 30 will be used up.

 

[MichaelM]

Can you imagine!!

They would need to shut down belmore for a week - actually the celebrations would be bigger than anything ever seen previously in the NRL

I would take a week off work!

Dare to dream!

 

[James zac]

Let me remind you of 1988

And 85 and to a lesser extent 86

 

[Grunthos]

Well, if we can get into the top 8 anything is posable.
