Firstly, a little bit of optimism is required before reading on.
C'mon!! The club, the team and our fans are on a high. The Bulldogs are playing some good footy and even with our losses in recent weeks, we were in all of them and we were our own worst enemy in those games that we should have won. We are playing with confidence and the team is starting to gel.
It brings me to ask the question. Are we heading into a five game winning streak? Here is what lies ahead.
Dragons - Won
Knights - Winnable. Beat them Round 7. 36 - 12
Even without possibly Burton and Crichton, the Knights won't have Best and possibly Saifiti. I think their halves are average, no Ponga.
Eels - Winnable. We are playing a better style of footy with confidence especially if we beat Knights. Eels are on the slide. Club is a mess atm. Their confidence is low.
Bye
Roosters - Winnable. Roosters without Origin stars. Beat them Round 5. 30 - 26
Personally, I think we could do it if we stay focused and switched on. We have shown we have the potential to match it with all the top sides so the next month is a realistic goal CC should set for the players.
