I initially thought the Reed pass to Xerri was forward but it is the angle of the camera. On the other angle it shows that it is flat at worst. It was a great pass by Reed, backwards out of the hands. Try time. If it was forward, then Harry Grant throws about 60% of his forward passes, he is...

Mate, if not Taafe then Sexy. Hutcho is not a great defender and both those 2 guys will offer fuckloads more in attack. Hutcho is so slow that his whole side panic because they are a man short. I would either a crack because I know what i'm gonna get with Hutcho and it's not enough to win tight...

Surely this team can make the 8. 1. Tracey 2. Foxx 3. Xerri 4. Critta 5. Kiraz 6. Burto 7. Taafe 8. King 9. Reed 10. Hughes 11. Kiks 12. Presto 13. Curran 14. Hayward 15. Mann 16. Morrin 17. Farmer or Fifita 18th man - Sexy If only we can get a consistent line up like this over the next 12...

I tend to agree with you Boggie23. The signs of improvement are there..... Think of all the players who have come in, they are all playing well and are buying into the coach's structure and culture. Taafe was shaky early, but has been getting better every game. Mann and Curran are both beasts...

If we play with the same determination as the last 3 weeks, we will keep it close for the first 50 mins, before it blows out. 1. Hutcho will be too slow to get through any holes and will let in at least 2 tries because he will get run around, which will put pressure on our outside defenders. He...

It's on the coach. Has gone all in with Salmon who, dropped a simple ball early in a set attacking their line and also cost us a try with his poor decoy run. Coach also keeps Morrin on the field too long, what happens? Morrin drops it cold and also gets sinbinned because he's fatigued. All the...

It would be nice to see Taafe actually break 1 tackle. The man gets pinched by the first defender every single kick return. Tracey or Critta would already have the odd line break if they were at FB. Same as Hutchinson, too slow to break the line, although Sexy would've sneaked through for a try...

With the team that Ciraldo will pick...... if we win it is only just. But with the team below, we could hammer the bunnies: 1. Tracey (Taafe too sketchy under the high ball) 2. Foxx 3. Critta 4. Kiraz 5. Wilson 6. Burto 7. Taafe (can do what Hutcho does, but isn't slower than a snail). 8...

I'm with everyone else. 1. Tracey (more upside in attack) and Taafe needs to get his confidence up under the high ball in reggies. If Tracey doesn't work, I would give Papalii a crack (if Galvin at the Tigers can get a run then why not Joash?) Wings - Kiraz and Skelton (we need metres from...

What about the fact that the Eels threw over 20 offloads and yet they complete at around 90%. On the other hand, we play the most boring style of 5 hitups and a mid field bomb (no one even close to throwing an offload) and we can't complete over 60% of our sets. I would much rather watch a...

My observations from the trial: * Hutcho is very limited in his skill set. Organises but that's about it. Put on 3 or 4 hospital passes, rushed up out of the line to let in the first try, is way slower than Sexton, so will never break the line. Give Sexton the 7, or even Taafe? * Taafe didn't...

I personally would only change W-G-D to Curran and Hutcho to Sexton. Otherwise awesome lineup (compared to last year). Bulldogs by 7 (Burto to ice it with the field goal). Would love to see some early long passes for our speedsters. Then in round 1 if everything goes well. Then swap Poasa to...

Still really weird how people are mentioning Sutton. He adds nothing at all. Soft carries and average defender. Same as with Edwards, I found him a very meat and potatoes player. Takes a few hitups for no tackle breaks and doesn't bend the line. Morrin ahead of both of them based on his energy...

Most of our sets should be (1) Tracey or Taafe (2) Kiraz or Xerri (3) Prop or Skelton if he is on the bench that game,, (4) edge 2RW e.g. Kiks then (5) halves to kick or spread it wide. So much better than Perham, Waddell or Okunbor mind-numbing hitups..... This year will be way better to watch...

1. Tracey (if he shows more zing @ FB in the next trial). If not, Taafe is in. 2. Foxx (for his finishing) 3. Xerri (for his yardage) 4. Critta 5. Kiraz (for his yardage) If he is not 100% fit, Wilson is in. 6. Burto (Floating bombs and small grubbers for tries and Run the ball bro) fuck off...

Also, I can't find Morrin listed in our top 30 squad for 2024. WTF! The man runs harder than 90% of our forward pack and bent the line more than TPJ at times. I'll be very disappointed if the coaching staff have dropped him out of the top 30. Anyone know what's up?

Even though I know the coaching staff will want to give the youngsters a go in the trials, I would like to see the following: 1st half 2nd half 1.Tracey Taafe 2. Foxx Wilson 3. Xerri...

Why say that mate? If Xerri gets picked then CC, JT and the trainers think he is ready (from his preseason training and trial form). If the pick him, then i'll believe that he is ready to fuckin carve up for the dogs. I betting him to have more long range tries than fox this year (Could be Josh...

It's possible but we need a few things to fall our way and get very lucky with injuries: * One of Patolo or Sam Hughes needs to have a breakout year. Someone who can support King and Knight who should be able to get the job done in the middle. * Burton needs to find his voice and running game...

Anyone who says we aren't making long term progress with Gus is a dope. I'm sick of us losing but there are a lot of stokes in the fire with all these young pathways they are developing. Watch us in 5-10 years. First step is get back to or at least close to the 8 this year. If everyone plays to...

Maybe Braidon is intimidated by Xerri killing it at pre season. It's understandable, as he wouldn't get a run in front of Wilson, Foxx, Xerri, Kiraz and now Tracey. I would even put Skelton ahead of him. It's a shame they can't pick Skelton as a power runner off the bench (roaming edge forward)

20k, while we're throwing out random ball park figures :-D

We have Curran, come join your team mate AFB :-D

Don't compare him to George Costanza. George is a fucking legend!

Yeah, Curran shits all over Edwards. My 17 is: 1. Taafe 2. JAC 3. Xerri 4. Crighton 5. Kiraz (if Xerri not ready, Kiraz to centre, Wilson to wing) 6. Burton 7. Sexy (Hutcho if he out trains him in the off season) 8. King 9. Reed 10. SST 11. Kiks 12. Presto 13. Curran 14. Mann 15. Knight 16. Sam...

Waaaaaay better than having Edwards, Mann or weak gutted dog at 13. I would probably rotate Curran with Mann in the lock role. Kiks and Preston complete the back row. Pretty fucking good if you ask me. Still need an alpha FRF, but at least it moves other bludgers further from our 1st grade squad.

Foxx brings kids to the game. Both of my kids follow the dogs and the Foxx is by far their favourite player. Burto is also one of their fav's but the Foxx provides that jump out of your seat, excitement. My kids and I would hate watching the Foxx run out for another club. Hopefully he learns...

Waddell is like the new Tolman. But misses tackles and gives away penalties. *Sees an overlap* "Glue hands mode, activate!" Absolute attack killer.

If the boys form some combos over the off season and stay relatively fit, I don't see why this team above couldn't win a lot more games than this year and at least be in the picture (for the log jam in the bottom of the 8). Honestly, if this squad plays to its potential I don't see us that far...

Wilson runs harder than most of our forwards. He will put on size and grow in confidence after a full pre season. I'm backing him for one wing as well. 1. Crighton or Taafe 2. Foxx 3. Kiraz 4. Crighton or Xerri 5. Wilson 6. Burton 7. Sexy 8. SST 9. Mahoney 10. King 11. Kiks 12. Presto 13. Mann...

I know it's left field, but after the game against the Titans I wouldn't mind if Kikau left. Watch him carefully during the Brimson try. Just jogs back, sees something unfolding and continues to jog and then watch them score. If that was Jammer he would've sprinted back and been the last guy...

It's not about the performance of players. Its about the connection between them. Positive feelings. You vibe?

1. Critta 2. Fox 3. Xerri 4. Skelton 5. Kiraz 6. Burton 7. Sexton 8. TKO 9. Reed 10. King 11. Kiks 12. Preston 13. KO 14. TPJ 15. Taafe 16. Waddell 17. Hughes. Surely this team can win a few games in 2024. My 6 year old son loves the doggies because I do but he cries every time they get belted...

The fact that TPJ played like a fucking animal for 5 mins just makes you angrier. All he has to do is hit the ball up like that for 20 mins and then another 25 after half time. NOT shoot out of the line for thin air. NOT try to fuck someone up and give away a penalty or sin bin. , DONT DO...

I know we were completely outgunned talent wise today but watch it again and tell me I'm crazy but I saw this all game. Refs telling us to get the fuck of the player with the ball so we either give them a quick play the ball or they rule 6 again. Anytime we actually had momentum in the tackle...

Please play Burton, with him (having a big game) we have a chance. Without him - we don't have enough strike. Unless Sexton just goes nuts both sides of the ruck and says follow me lads. Burton's missus to hold it in and Bomber to play! Dogs by 7

It means you haven't paid your yearly membership. I'll send you a private message so you can transfer the cash to me/ the kennel

Sick person will be either: Sexton (will shut down our whole attack without him). Averillo (Perham will come in and send our attack back to the plodding, dark ages) Kikau (the only person in our team who can bust a tackle). Other fuckers need to step up and win this bloody game. Or fuck off in...

Yeah Nah. Maybe we push for the bottom of the 8 MAX! Thompson while fit hasn't done enough and TPJ is hit n miss. King has been a shell of himself. Our forward pack still needs someone strong to lead them. Will be cool to see Burton and Sexy build some combos with a consistent backline around...

How much does it annoy you when you see the game TPJ plays against the Phins. Running off the back fence, being selective in his offloads, looking for the tough stuff and quick play the balls. But the fucker only does it 1 in 8 games! Watch him go nuts in his contract year and we extend him. If...

Someone mentioned it above, Sexy opens up the field. So because he can run it or has some options short, it attracts more defenders and then Burto has more space to hit the gap himself or send Kiks at a hole. I dont know about the edges and why they were changed. I think it should be: Left side...

The Flippers are too well coached. So it will be tight, but I agree - it is our best squad in a long time. We should win based on both squads. Unless Perham squeezes his way back into the 1 jersey. Then we lose by 20+

That's crazy man, Avo has been great at fullback. Wilson is unfortunately the odd man out if Skelton gets the jersey and we can all see that when Sexton is on the field and our forward pack get some momentum, Burto can play his game and be one of the best running 6's in the game.

How can a few be bagging Sam Hughes. Check the replay again, the man bent the line nearly every run and found his front. I swear every other forward had a play the ball 3 times longer (even TPJ), who's too lazy to get the fuck up faster for the benefit of the team. I still have hope for Ciraldo...

Tino. I still feel has is a little unstable with the family situation and off field history. Tino is a clean skin, hard worker and is 10x better then all of our forwards combined. If we can't get Tino then ok I guess I would take Haas. Fuck our current forwards are shit. Which dope said to not...

I feel like this happened all year. Maybe we win today, but it has taken most of the season for the coach to work out who should be playing -Avo at fullback, give Blake a run, getting rid of the plodders (even though Waddell is a cat with 9 lives). It was was the same with Fittler at Origin...

People comparing Reed and Flanno missing that last try against RFM and Sutton on the first try. Chalk and cheese. RFM and Sutton made a pathetic effort when they were fresh and should have been hurting from the 66-0 butt fucking we got the previous week. Reed had defended for about 70 mins and...

Next year if our team plays to potential so much to offer: 1 Crighton 2. Foxx 3. Kiraz 4. Xerri (or Burns) 5. Wilson 6. Burton 7. Sexton 8. TPJ 9. Reed 10. Thompson 11. Kikau 12. Preston 13. Oloapu 14. BBO 15. Topine 16. Morrin 17. King or RFM (if Thompson is gone and King starts). Some points...

Patolo would be good next week for his size (or Hughes)

My bad, I forgot Morrin (I meant to have him instead of Topine at 12.). Topine on the bench instead of Sutton.

Wilson has the same energy and love for the jersey that reminds me of Kiraz when he first burst on the scene. Keep picking the kid and he will become a new fan favourite for sure. I love him already!

Anyone dissing Foxx, fuck guys! The man is a ferrari who hasn't been let out of the garage except a few times by Burton. If we had a fcuking spine this year who could got him ealry ball or gave him the space he needs, the Foxx would be right up there on the try scoring list. We didn't buy him...

We will find out on Tuesday as he must name: 1. Avo 2. Wilson 3. Kiraz 4. Burns 5. Foxx 6. Burto 7. Sexyman 8. King 9. Reed 10. TPJ 11. Preston 12. Topine 13. RFM 14. Sutton (if fit) 15. Ox 16. Edwards 17. Flanno (for defense only) 18. Skelton NO Perham or Waddell

I agree, some changes are good but Okunbor still there is crazy. It's Waddell, Perham all over. Coaches have pets and then refuse to see their errors because it means they are wrong. I would go with this team, but who are we to pick a more competitive team than the coaching staff (who should...

You watch, next week the Knights will get fucking reamed by a real side. That's how bad we are. Let that sink in!

I reckon him and Pangai must partner up during tackling drills. They work on their shirt grabbing style together, it's part of the bonding process. Culture building. United squad. #Canterburybullduds

You watch teams like the cowboys play. Fast, fluent, supporting the ball and exciting to watch. We look slow, no direction, non threatening and so far from what a winning football style looks like. It's really scary actually. If we played the cowboys tonight (the way they played against the...

Fittler is a fucking Gronk. Shittest at picking a good NSW and now fucks the dogs with his 18th man taking our main chance of winning against the Sharks. This season goes from bad to worse. Whats the bet Perham takes a billion shitty hitups which stifles our attack, is well out of position...

Bulldogs fans during the Parra game....

So funny how many of us go through the same week thinking: Early in the week - i'm so fucking pissed that we lost. Mid week - it was a tough loss, but it's still better than what they have dished up in previous seasons Late in the week - Maybe we jag this win. The team could fire? The refs...

Ciraldo = B- Flanno really fucked us at the startof the season due to not contributing anything except some good D, mounting more pressure on Burton and Reed. Waddell and Ok have been good but still some major issues with attacking plays and D in our red zone (still paper thin). One weakness is...

Man I hope they don't rush back any of these guys early. Please make sure they are completely healed to reduce the risk or re-aggravating anything. And now sink your teeth into what our team could be if we could somehow scrape into 8th spot this year. No expectations, other teams would be scared...

We need to have some experience out there for the young ones stepping up so we can't take a machete to the team.....yet! 1. Perham 2. Burns 3. Casey 4. Alomoti 5. Skelton 6. Burton 7. JR 8. King 9. Reed 10. RFM 11. Davey 12. Preston 13. Waddell 14. Karl O (when JR tires) 15. Ok (back to his...

There was so many options for Ciraldo to replace Avo today but it was like he was deer in headlights. 1. Burton to centres, JR to 6. 2. Davey to centre (played many games at Manly quite well - whenever there was an injury). How the Eels didn't score about 10 tries down Avo and Oks side still...

Maybe we will also see the best of TPJ because of Ciraldos vision. We can only hope. TPJ these are your instructions: DO - steamroll *****, offload when its on and intimidate within the laws of the game. DONT - give away fucked up penalties and go for hero plays if it's not the right time

I have a feeling this no excuse policy CC has means that if certain people keep fucking up or not doing their job e.g. providing try opportunities (assists, finishing off sets with correct kicking options) then they will be dropped soon enough (Rajeb and Karl O are waiting for their chance)...

#Xiraz24

We beat Tigers by 4, Parra beat Tigers by 2. Therefore, we beat Parra by 2. Simples!

It is definitely winnable. Reed will be there to defend against Murray. Preston will be marking Kaloaomatangi Alamoti and Foxx can shut down Campbell Graham. If Grub can straighten the attack and get early ball to Avo and Kiraz. I'm putting some money on the dogs for the Easter upset.

With all our players out, it's a bit of a free swing. I just want to see that attitude again this week and if we go down swinging, then i'll still be satisfied. But if King and Presto play, then we can definitely win this. I want Burto to beat down Cody Walker that fuck head.

How good will it be towards the end of the season, with a full squad to pick from: (If only we could punch our way and stay in 8th, then anything can happen with this team). 1. Perham 2. Skelton 3. Kiraz 4. Alamoti 5. Foxx 6. Burto 7. Olaupau 8. King 9. Reed 10. Thommo 11. Preston 12. Kikau 13...

"Waddell needs to be in the middle or left right out". I agree, but he probably needs to play big mins this week since we have no one. So let him play 13 as an extra prop and Tanner can take turns subbing for King and or Sutton (King will probably play big mins as well.

One thing we know is that Ciraldo is a thinker. So these are the lessons he hopefully took out of our win over the Cows: "Flanagan - when Grub comes on, let him run/straighten the attack. Just support the ball, defend and generally stay out of the way". "Waddell - If you see an overlap out wide...

I thought I had a man crush on Papenhauzen with that hair do, but Preston's flowing locks. Not many backrowers hit that line and stretch out for the second try. He is a bulldog! Lock him up on a long term deal!

Ciraldo is a smart fucker. He would've seen: * Waddle being a 4th tackle settler hog, he will tell him to let the ball get out to the strike players, you are for grunt work early in the sets ONLY. * Flanno, stop being a momentum killer with your shitty running to the line, you never beat anyone...

Perham was a fucking beast. Beat the first defender nearly every time. Not much talk about him but I was impressed. Does anyone else have Talau vibes around Alomoti. Fucking stocky, powerful but good footwork. He should become a huge weapon for us once he gets a few more games under his belt...

I'm also loving the celebrations after the tries. See Reed jump up when Foxx scored and was roaring to the crowd. He is a fucking bulldog alright!

Just watched the replay again. There are some key things which are different to last year: * Blind Freddy see's Preston starting would be better than Brown at Lock and Ciraldo changes it (I fucking love him for that)! * The second Jacob Kiraz try was great but it was the ball from Reed to get it...

For next week. 1. Perham (I thought he has some good touches even though our team had zero momentum. 2. Kiraz (thought he had a crack) 3. Averillo (give him more early ball because he has good footwork, if he fucks up badly in defense again - put Skelton in) 4. Alamoti (again, more early ball)...

Yeah but to be honest. I didn't see Kikau actually putting his hand up for any tough stuff. And then when he actually did get a run, it was a weak effort and slowest play the ball ever.

Mahoney best Dog on the field but a fucking length! Kikau and Burton did not want to be there. So bloody disappointed with their effort. Every one of our forwards got fucking buckled over and smashed. Except Pele who played for about 10 minutes. Playing Brown as 13 was a BAD decision, offered...

Too many hugs and telling story telling this pre season. Why the fuck weren't they practising their attack.

I want Flanagan to know how to count to 6. Therefore if it is the last tackle, get a fucking try, an opportunity to score or god forbid a repeat set!!!! That is what every other half has been working on over the off season. And you get paid to finish our sets with a good result. If he can't do...

8th - on the back of breakout years for: Kiraz (close to Dally M winger of the year) Burton (plays origin again) & Dare I say it, TPJ (most offloads and our best forward alongside Max this year). All are possible - lets go 2023 Pavdogg

Man I hope we beat them: a) to stick it to Des b) to give Siebold a loss first up (that smug bastard thinks he knows more than all the other coaches combined). I'm just worried our combinations won't be ready yet to beat a mid tier team. Hopefully the trials are used well to get the team firing.

Maybe we should debut him against the Broncos? Stick it up em!!!!

Just read that Turbo will probably be playing Round 1, that drastically changes our chances of winning to start off the season. Faaaaaaaark!

Fannigan is on borrowed time. I would rather Grub in the 7 or 6 with Burto. Flanagan offers NOTHING but defense and some support play. But to counter that, every time he gets the balls on the 5th tackle he shits the bed and takes the wrong option. Every. single. time.

NAS is a beast, but I actually think Max King as our number 8 shouldn't be underestimated. He is smaller and more mobile, also doesn't have the brain snaps that NAS is prone to do. If NAS is replacing Thompson, then i'm ok with that. (The POM has not delivered on his huge price tag)

I don't get why there's a discussion. Josh Reynolds would be captain based on experience and he bleeds bluest and whitest.....

But, but Flanagan didn't get to play his best becoz of Barrett's coaching. He will run deeper into the line and finish off sets better if we just give him another four 4 year to hone his craft.....

Yeah, he probably deserves to start the season there but if he has a couple of shockers or if opposition expose his weaknesses, he may be done cause he aint going to get another crack in the halves or centres

1. Crighton 2. Foxx 3. Shoupp 4. Kiraz 5. Allan 6. Burton 7. Rajeb (I can't write Flanno) 8. King 9. Reed 10. Thompson 11. Kikau 12. RFM 13. Jackson 14. TPJ (Prop) 15. Topine (Lock) 16. Davey (Edge) 17. Patalo or Waddell (Prop) Potential changes could be Alamoti for Shoupp, Rajeb for Biondi Odo...

So cool that because of Gus and probably now Burto, Ciraldo etc that young kids see the Dogs as a club on the up. 2024 should be big. A massive drive deep into the top 8.

Move the world's best winger to fullback. No way! Burton and Kikau will give the Foxx even more space out wide for a 20+ try season next year. Let's Trot!

For some reason, in the Kennel clip of Burton and Foxx lighting it up - Foxx is reminding me a lot of Nigel Vagana. I know Foxx has him covered for speed but more the way he moves so well at pace, the longer hair, the confidence after scoring tries. Imagine if we can get the team attack firing...

I agree with the earlier comment regarding JMK and Waddle. I know Waddell got a linebreak and did some good things but the stats say 4 error and 1 penalty. Talk about dick fingers! And he does this every game. Back to the bench and let someone like Morrin start. So tired of Waddles being first...

Corey Waddell has to deadset muder someone to get subbed off. Anything else he remains. We have anyone else in his spot and we win this game.
