That makes a lot of sense. I was thinking there's gotta be something up with that stat, to have the ~3rd best defence but such high missed tackles couldn't align unless it's actually part of the defence. If players know they can't make the tackle, but know they can slow the player down and...

Comparing the first 7 games of 2023 and 2024 there's an obvious improvement in attack and defence: 2023: scored 107 pts, let in 175 2024: scored 142 pts, let in 125 Increased points scored by 33% Decreased points let in by 29%

How good is it seeing objective data showing the systems working. All the nonsense over the past few years about it being too hard etc gone. Just solid results that speak for themselves

He is solid as. I'll again give props to Ciraldo and the rest for getting the best out of these players

That pass from Taafe

Ciraldo and Gus have done such a good job over the past few years

How nice is it to have 2 pretty decent fullbacks

Taffee is awesome. Thought it since he smashed us with souths. He's been making more of an impact than basically any other player than Kikau last few weeks. Chip to score last week, forced an error and then scored a try, huge game last night.

The whole second half they ran 1 out and wasted the extra players. Scared to lose so they didn't score anything. And the defence was just awful

Awesome play

Crichton has lifted this team and its showing Making him captain was wise

YEAH LADS

Alright whatever the old boys said to kikau they gotta say it every week

Crichton and Mahoney smiling in the slow mo while Kikau makes a break is great

YEAH LADS

YEAH LADS

YEAH LADS

The bloke played with a broken jaw. If he was a panther they'd have made a documentary about him already this week. Hard man

Should be contrary conduct for leading with the shoulder If its contrary conduct for leading with the forearm or elbow then a shoulder is equally wrong

They won by 4 after concussing 2 of our players and getting a 3rd sent off They should've won by 40 not 4 with 3 men out We did very well

I looked up how rare it is cause I didn't remember it. Only 5 times in 25 years the bulldogs have held a team to 0. 2024, 2021, 2018, 2006, 2003. So yeah pretty good work Source: https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/teams/canterbury-bankstown-bulldogs/results.html

great game. mahoney kikau kiaz burns stand outs

Skeltons got some steps

Kiraz is awesome. Such a bulldog

It's not a full souths team but it's still Tatola Burgess Johnston etc etc. They're a solid team. Big win after the biggest loss

Great try

We finally have a real half

DOGGIES BRO

Was a good press conference. Spray didnt get through so theyll get dropped. Seems good. Old wood probably has some old culture. New blokes are playing well. Preston and Alamoti are way above 1st year performances.

Momentums all with us 8-)

Reynolds has setup way more tries than I think anyone expected

very stoked the team didnt give up after letting in a few tries. ciraldo is doing a very good job

always give it to preston 10m out, except when they overcover him, then play to the winger easy as

Awesome signing

We're going to win

That win was unreal. Bloke breaks his fkn arm and keeps playing, another bloke goes blind and goes back on, and another breaks his fingers apart then scores a try, and then they win from a field goal kicked from a mile out. Unbelievable

The one eyed king

Rep player in a few years. Sign him long term. Reminds me of Matt Gillett

I'll just say it cannot be a coincidence we have multiple rookies playing like top quality veterans at the same time we got a new coach. The coach and the new systems are finding and improving these blokes and that is massive.

Ciraldo is elite

great cover tackle by burton

dogs look so solid this year gone from being a mess to being a solid defensive team, good game management, good attack

Mahoney is everywhere. He's elite

good game management last few minutes. slowed it down heaps

sick tackle by reed

Hazem and Graham are such good picks for a podcast

Awesome game. Best in years.

Defence is really good and if they keep this up they're top 8 defence Attack will improve hopefully

Mahoneys gonna need to become the Cameron Smith of this team. Just take full control, give orders to the halves

That Burton kick is so useful on Turbo. Allows the defenders time to press on him so he doesn't break out. Do that every other set cheers

Mahoney is such a good signing

Hopefully Ciraldo tells them at half time not to do that again cause that was ridiculous Even if Kikau kick stayed in you've got Burton for that job, whats the point?

Good effort by Mahoney. Need that stuff

Ciraldo does have leadership written all over him. Very Bennett like. If Turbo stays fit then Manly can and should beat everyone, top 4 side, so as long as we're competitive and show scoring ability and continue to defend despite some Turbo tries, that'll be a good outcome.

First game I've been quietly looking forward to in years. We know the team has been struggling for years now, and they won't turn it around overnight, but the foundations are there for success and improvement, and with time that'll pay off. By the end of the season they'll be a better team than...

If we could sign the Turbo brothers I would be pretty happy. I don't even care that Toms injury prone. They're good blokes to build a team around. Culture boost

Graham needs to be working in the Bulldogs somewhere

Best possible news. My hope is that club elections dont interfere with his role. Let him have time to work.

That sucks. Would've been the best possible move we could ever make at the moment. Not sure where to go from here. I suppose try again every year.

What is 'hope'?

You could get Bellamy and he couldn't turn our roster into a first grade team. It was just stupidity trying to find some quick solution to a big problem.

Remember when you geniuses wanted to sack Pay. So they did. Good work.

Dogs need a longterm plan like Gus brought to Penrith. Until then it's short termism.

OP Aren't you that clown who complained every game to sack Pay? Ignoring that its the players who arent first grade quality? Yes, yes you are

Man im so glad the ignore button exists. Unmute some of you clowns and youre crying we signed a half decent half. Absolute clowns

Nice. If he can't catch Hoppa can catch and then just offload to him to get the metres.

We need a good fb so im for this

He can kick conversions which makes him an automatic benefit to our team...

Dogs need a fullback who will sprint every catch like slater tedesco barba. Until then were just gonna make up the numbers

100%. lol

lol..........:tearsofjoy:

lol oh no not foran

Now put a win/loss/draw next to each and look at which spines are winners...

Needed a half, got a half. Good placeholder. Let the idiots ramble on but there's fuckall players available so you take what is available and Green is solid

Took our club to the spoon. Cya champ

nice and thank fuck it isnt another forward

lol it was josh reynolds it wasn't cooper cronk

lol then you keep him. not like you'd want to mess with a good thing. anyone who can turn this shit team into winners is overqualified with a real squad

Nobody likes us boo hoo :D

barba carried hasler here and turbo carried hasler there

Bellamy pls

Make Cronk coach that guy is the smartest football brain in the world If not coach then some supporting role Fucking won a grand final with 1 arm by telling dipshits where to run and who to tackle

Well it's not like Trent can do much worse is it

We have no leader on the field. Every single game the entire team is confused and unenthusiastic.

We're shit but at least Thompson does the job Napa was meant to

"If Foran stays fit" should be the new bulldogs slogan

uncertainty lol. I think people were more bothered by the fucked up cap

No thanks

Great plan. If you wouldn't want to goto a new top of the line built stadium in Belmore you're seriously not a real doggies fan. Straight up

lol @ all these new accounts coming in to throw in their 2 cents transparent as fuck

8 years? Must be Pays fault. Why wasn't he coaching them properly in 2013? Shambles. He should've turned everything around with his team of reserve graders in 6 months or a year.

Fifita on a long term contract would be so good

reminder we won more games with lewis but you guys knew wed do better without him and now we lose every game lol defence matters, hes not a half but he can tackle, put him at fucking centre or lock its not like we have the best centre or lock in the world so they cant get moved one position...

RFM for captain When this team rebuilds he needs to be promoted

remember wakeham came out this week saying hed have a big game

the key to winning is to attack huge holes in defence we figured it out

https://www.thekennel.net.au/forum/index.php?threads/wakeham%E2%80%99s-bold-call.116466/ lol

Are they gonna ring that Souths bell at kickoff

I'm more sad about losing James Graham to England than possibly losing this bloke to whoever

Ok bye
