BULLDOGS
CRAWLEY’S VERDICT:
If you aren’t at least a bit excited about Phil Gould’s Canterbury rebuild you’re living on a different planet to any league fan I speak to.
But the arrival of new coach Cameron Ciraldo along with Reed Mahoney and big Viliame Kikau has taken the anticipation this year up several notches, along with the return of local hero Josh Reynolds, and the potential of watching a young gun like Paul Alamoti blast on the scene.
And while it wasn’t great news hearing a calf injury will rule Tevita Pangai Jr out for the start of the season, it’s too early to get caught up in the negatives that came with their disappointing trial loss to the Sharks.
Of course, the added incentive watching the Dogs this year will be seeing if Gus succeeds or fails, depending on how you feel about the most polarising individual in the game’s history.
Bulldogs - Ranked: 8th
STAR POWER: 8/10
PLAYING STYLE: 4/10
BOX OFFICE APPEAL: 9/10
HEROES AND VILLAINS: 9.5/10
POTENTIAL FOR DRAMA: 9/10
JERSEYS: 8.5/10
TOTAL SCORE: 48/60
MOST POPULAR SUPERCOACH PLAYERS: Paul Alamoti 46%, Matt Burton 35%, Franklin Pele 26%

If fan passion and loyalty counted towards premiership points the bulldogs would be Premiers every year!!! There is no one more loyal than a Bulldogs fan....That is my honest opinion.
