The club is hungry, the players are hungry and the fans are hungry. This could be a great ride! We are finally on the right path, thanks to Gus and Ciraldo. If we manage to make the finals, we will be there in droves, out of the woodwork. Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

Can we play souths again? Pretty please Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

Complaining about referees and highlighting someone's outstanding characters are two very different things. Robbo is 100% correct in his thoughts about Travis as a trainer and a person. Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

If this gets to court and Topine wins, contact sport is dead, the nrl is dead. Good luck to any high performance trainer telling players to do 5 push ups. The players will tell them to get fucked on precedent. The nrl need to assist to protect their product. And by product I mean $$$$$$ Sent...

This isn't a Canterbury issue. This is a whole of game issue. It's on the best interests of the NRL to be assisting Canterbury as much as possible. Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

I also see this in Ciraldo's interviews. I watched the pre-game one against Newcastle. He was so confident, very assured, we are in a great spot at the moment. The dogs are back! Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

It's just a great feeling being super competitive again. The real Bulldogs are back, hunger, desire, will to win, love it. Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

O'Neill gives me Maloney vibes. I think he will be an excellent 7 when the time is right. He's very mature and barks orders. I think he leapfrogs them all next season. Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

I'm old (ish). This season has 1991 vibes for me. Young hungry players sprinkled with hardened first grade players to show the way. That approach in 1991 brought about the success of the teams in 93-95. I think 2024-28 will be an outstanding 5 year block for the club. Hopefully claiming the...

Some things I picked up out of Ciraldo's press conference. - Tracey has got the number 1 full time. - King looks highly likely to be included this week. - Taffe is in the best 17. Let's smash the knights! Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

I don't care who's in or who's out. We as a club are fully invested for the first time in 8 seasons. It's time to smack the knights, have the bye, then smack the tigers. Let's get moving towards that top 8. This group is very capable! Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

I loved the back 5 last night. it's hard to change that moving forward. That being said, Taffe brings a lot to our right side. The 7 is a dilemma. We should be 4 & 2 with a proven 7. I know it's frustrating losing the souths and melbourne games, but my goodness, we are so close. At the start of...

Knight out, Patolo added to the bench. Sexton and Xerri remain as reserves Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

Dogs 26 -12, it's Critta time! Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

I love what Morrin brings, but I feel we need to go with a bit of size. If Poasa is back this week, I'd replace him. If Knight and King start, then a bench of Mann, Curran, Hughes, Poasa looks good to me. Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

Great win today, real confidence booster. We get screwed over every good Friday match, I hate the bunnies. We are long, long overdue some luck and a result. Up the dogs! Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

Kautoga and Xerri playing nsw cup. Tetavano is starting putting those PCL rumours to bed. Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

Judge them in a few weeks, guys. We should've lost by 60, lots of heart. Discipline and mistakes on repeat, clean it up once and for all.

Long overdue, get hungry, get the defence right, let's be super competitive, and also fuck parra, they are scum!

Poasa, King, Hughes, Curran, Patolo, Knight, Tetavano, Fifita. Kautoga. There's enough there to keep us competitive in the middle. They just need to be hungry and hunt together and have a big year, do it.

Andrew Johns could be our 7, and we'd still struggle. We need our pack to go way above and beyond all our expectations for us to be any chance of 8th spot. Hopefully, that's the case. They will determine our season.

For legal reasons

Does anyone know how our Flegg and Cup boys went this evening?

One captain fits all! Critta is the man.

Inspired appointment!

It's great to see the kids shine. Gus in full effect with the juniors coming through. Todd looked really good in a position wet are desperate for. O'Neill reminds of James Maloney, let's hope so anyway!

Our front row stocks have diminished. That's tough to take when at full strength they were already diminished. Knight King Hughes RFM Fred Ciraldo Long year ahead.

If we nabbed two quality props, we'd be flying. Knight and King off the bench strengthens us. I don't think they're starters. Hughes, Patolo, Sutton as back up, so much stronger. We are close!

We are 3 middies (2025) from playing finals again. Love all these signings. There is clear intent about professionalism and players coming from winning cultures.

Tackle 1 - spin it left Tackle 2 - spin it right Tackle 3 - spin it left Tackle 4 - spin it right Tackle 5 - spin it left Tackle 6 - score a try or spin it right Fuck hit ups and go forward, overated!

Maybe its going to be: Tracey Kiraz Xerri Crichton Foxx Burton Taffe

I'll wait to hear from Danny Weidler first before making assumptions.

The 13 is made for him, great signing!

Like i keep saying, you haven't missed out on a player if they re-sign with their club. You've only missed out if they choose to leave for another club, and it's not yours. There is a major difference between the two!

This has Gus written all over it. Two junior premierships this year is massive! It WILL filter through to NRL level, just have patience.

He was at Manly this year.

You don't need $800k props. You just need the right attitude, some mongrel, and an opportunity. Good luck!

Sounds like the nrl's first Psychosocial case is about to unfold at our club.

Who's replacing him? As far as we know, he and Thompson are gone. I can't wait for Knight and King to start with Patolo and Hughes coming off the bench for huge impact. I was also talking about our pack, not just TPJ. It will be worse than this year's. We aren't winning shit.

Believe it or not, our pack will be worse next year. We we are spoon bound, unbelievable.

After the club walked under 100 laders prior to round one, we find ourselves a measly 6 points out of the top 8. Throw in our new purchases, what's still about to unfold and some holy water before round one next year, we are top 8 bound! Up the dogs...

This has been done a hundred times. I voted for Matt Ryan last time and this time

The Bulldogs never bought internationals. We are a hard-working club, who bring up their own and throw in a few solid buys each year. We are slowly getting back to that model, probably from 2025 onwards. We always worked this way and over achieved this way. It's the Bulldog way

Mate Wayne Bennett gets things wrong. You can't be Nostradamus. CC is young and still learning, he will be better for this season and push us to better things next. As for Averillo, it's done, good luck to the kid, he's no representative player. Taffe and Critta will battle it out.

Good signing, lots of energy and isn't a lazy bastard. He will pop up everywhere.

A fair few of these signings could be targeted at replacing current players 16-30. On face value, we are getting them cheaper, and they are better or, at the very least, the equivalent. That's how you manage the cap. Players 1-15 take a bit more time and aren't readily available. Im sure...

Massive clean out, it's much needed!

Great signing, I don't care about his age. He's a pro and has looked after himself I'm sure. He's a beast and a winner, bring it on.

Rumour has it that Sio Siua Taukeiaho is a done deal at the dogs.

They're young they'll get over it. I'm just throwing one out there, I'm probably miles off. Either way, not going to be a pretty day.

There's a bit of me that feels the club is trying to field the youngest, most inexperienced team it can today. No Kikau, Fox, Thomson, talk of Preston, Mahoney not playing. Protecting our better players from this massacre. That way when it finishes 72-4, the narrative will be, we had the...

Today is officially Rest In Peace, Canterbury-Bankstown day.

I have strategically organised lunch with friends at 1pm. Not watching this bloodbath.

- Avo to 1 without doubt - Sexton was wearing the 7 - Kiraz to 3, Skelton 2, no Alamoti - completely new forward pack - 55 new defensive coaches because we stink.

Honestly, the losing Sexton part made no difference. Our defence is diabolical, it's the worst I've ever seen it and worse than the spoon years, it's an utter disgrace.

Awesome, let's bring on the big boppers!

Taffe has always performed in the top grade, great versatility. He would certainly strengthen our squad.

I get that Critta will get first crack at 1 but geez Taffe goes really well. What would he cost? $350k? He could be used like he is at Souths but if he made of fist of it and Critta struggled, he could be a really good 1 with Critta and Xerri in the centres.

I missed the game, how did Skelton get on the park?

What has happened to Nu Brown? Looked solid in the first month before injury, comes back and has playing well in nsw cup. He can't even get on the extended bench with all that's going on, strange.

Say what you want about Gus, but he's taking a million bullets to protect players, staff, and coaches at this football club.

Does anyone know of a Gus press conference at 11am?

I think we almost have no option but to re- sign him on a reduced deal and hope he comes good. Not much out there in the prop department.

I've also watched 2 min highlights of players that looked amazing and amounted to nothing.

It's not how it works on here. If you're not a 1.2mil international then you're deemed fucking useless. This place is all about glitz and glamour. You need to be a superstar, or you're nothing. I hope the kid goes well, a genuine 7 who is still only 22. Good luck, throw in some big boys next...

We needed his old man

Where the hell does this club go from here?

All paper talk, why buy into it like it's the gospel? Also, if a player re-signs for their current club and we had an interest, that's not missing out on a player. That's the player staying put. Well done to club and player. If a player chooses to leave their current club and we show interest...

Hoffman, RFM and Burns all named on extended bench, however not named in reserve grade. You never know, could be late changes?

Pretty disappointing thread. Gus doesn't sleep and is doing all he can to make us great again. Don't judge him on the previous 5 years of failure. He had to undo a lot of shit before he can go forward. Our club as a whole is firing, sponsorship, membership, pathways, etc. It will translate to...

If DCE did move on, it would be to the Titans, 10 years later. He and Dessie would bow out together.

Wow all happening: Hunt request denied Brooks to manly Schuster in limbo

Too many people are taking Gus for an idiot. Gus has done deals. He won't announce shit until those players' commitments are over. That's how he works. Anyone thinking he'll let this club sink on his watch are delusional, let it play out.

Maybe it's Sam Walker we are trying to pinch?

People crying like we are dismantling our premiership winning team. The more gone, the better, let them all go!

Brooks = Raiders bound.

Danny Weidler going hard at this story. He may be a c$%t but he doesn't get many things terribly wrong. He's all in again in saying Hunt wants out now.

All the best to Avo at the Dolphins.

May as well bring tricky trindall to guide him.

Can't see it happening. Both he and Burton are left sided, left footed kickers who are best utilised on the left. This would mean one of them is heavily impacted being on the right. Not a good fit

Let's blame the ref for conceding 40

We are building guys, won SG Ball, doing well in Flegg, first in NSW Cup. It WILL translate to nrl soon, up the dogs.

Qai-Ward, was he for this year only at the stage or longer term?

Wilson's acceleration is a must at 1 in the top grade. He will create so much by just getting outside his man.

Official as per dogs page, Reed is available if he passes all his protocols this week. Kiraz available, no word on RFM. Burns and Thompson, one more week.

If our middle was tight yesterday and our ruck/marker defence switched on, we win by 12. A costly loss, we handed it to the chooks. Our D is a big issue, has been all season.

It's time to mix it up a little and get some players back into the squad. Kiraz, hopefully, back, give Nu Brown a run, Pele is back next week. Get Patolo in the squad, does Rajab get a full game. Pretty filthy about today, we really blew it. Our defence around the ruck was under 10s stuff at times.

Hope he does well, definitely debuting today.

You can't bag a bloke that's won 3 comps lol.

I remember standing on the hill at Belmore for most games on 98 thinking what a crap team, next minute we made the GF lol

My bad, I thought it was a forward signing

We have signed a prop from the Clydesdales, top 30 contract from 2024, cheapie, hope he does well.

Waiting for the first person to say, done deal. zzzzzzzzzz

I just see 13 written all over Alamoti, tough, strong, skill, ball playing. Xerri and Averillo could be a great centre pairing for 5+ years.

Stop being emotional and let it play out. If those mentioned weren't at the club, we would be the Moorebank Rams.
