With a negative w/l record of 3/4.
I'm not too hyped on this far more interested in our next game, it's a must win and then we will be at 50% at least for a week when we play Panthers at their fortress.

Reminder there’s a 3 year age gap between Burton and Hynes. Would you take the swap offer if it came?

Make no mistake bulldogs have pretty much the best defence.
Vs roosters we had them come back as we lost so many players that night.
And if you include the dud calls against south’s and the robbed try kikau vs sharks bulldogs are the best defensive team.
Now the bulldogs are gonna throw caution to the wind out wide and score some cracking tries and suffocate teams with their new defensive resolve.
All aboard this is real

A bit of luck with results but you could argue we should have beaten one of Souths or Storm anyway.
If you would have said we’d be in the top 8 after 8 rounds given our draw you’d take it every day. Real opportunity now to build our season from here.

I’m calling it now. Bulldogs to finish top four and win the whole thing.
I saw we've come in from $61 to $23 to make the top 4!

Every result went our way this round and we went from 12th to 8th after beating the bye. Given the bye is usually a tougher test than the Tigers, we look good to keep climbing the ladder next week.

You ***** never learn.

Now people taking up top 8 and some fools even saying top 4.

Take it one game at a time. We've got a long way before we deserve to be in the top 8, and we've got a lot more learning to do.

100% we're going in the right direction.

100% we'll get into the top 8 and stay there soon.

But dampen your expectations a little as it'll only end badly for you.

We'll get there, just be patient
