Canterbury sunk to new depths and narrowly avoided a seven-year low as St George Illawarra scored a much needed and morale-boosting 32-12 Round 9 win on Sunday.

The Bulldogs scored two late tries against the run of play to avoid being the first team since Cronulla in 2014 to go scoreless in four games in a season.

They have failed to score a point three times already this year.

DOGS NO.7 BENCHED IN WOEFUL NEW LOW

Canterbury let Kieran Foran walk out the door and the club hasn’t replaced him with an experienced playmaker in the spine.

Jake Averillo and Kyle Flanagan filled the halves on Sunday and they are both only young still, despite Flanagan playing an entire season with the Roosters last year.

The Chooks let Flanagan leave and we can now understand why, with teenage superstar Sam Walker braining it in his rookie season.

Flanagan, on the other hand, is struggling to improve much at Belmore where he’s the senior playmaker in one of the competition’s worst teams.

The problem is there’s no one more experienced than him at the club to show him the way.

Lachlan Lewis and Brandon Wakeham are the other halves at the Bulldogs but neither of them have done enough to deserve a permanent spot in the side, let alone be tasked with putting the team on their shoulders.

Their attack has been miserable for three or four years now and it’s not improving quickly under coach Trent Barrett, who was Penrith’s attack guru last year.

Fucking hell first Napa and now Flannagan are described as "stars". We have NO stars in the team (that's why we're fucking shit). Luckily next year we've recruited 2 stars in Burton and JAC.

Good to see Flanno was benched as it means Baz has some balls and can make the tough calls. This adds more substance to the rumour that Burton wants to play 7 which is perfect for us because Flanno is just trash.

I'm trying to wait until next year to pass judgement on Flanno but he's done absolutely nothing at all. Could be egg on our faces here. Did he have a shite kicking game at Rorters?

First half attack was terrible in their 20. No repeat sets and Flanagan deserved to be hooked.
I was joking.. That's the common line from lots of people in defence of Flanagan. Everything is always the forwards fault.. Even the coach deciding to hook him.

This is twice in the last few years we've been shown up as Rooster's bitch, first Napa now Flanno. The Cocks have been treating us like cucks for a while now.

Which is exactly why we are going to have the last laugh, when we start climbing and reaching the top. Others (rorters included) would have had their time and be falling. We only have one way to go. And that’s up.. others can only go down an sink.!!
