Why Bulldogs WILL NOT make the Top 8 in 2022 | NRL | Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs

[oldpuppy]

We need to stop watching these YouTube comedians.
It's like next year will be a shoot out between the broncos and sharkies.

Dream big boys last to first.
With all the competition for spots up for grabs a rookie to make the hooking spot his own from our new recruits.
On the back of that dogs to fire up in 2022,let the carve up begin.

We just need all our boys to make 50 effective tackles per game average, and we will be sweet. I think our attack may be ok...as always we alI hope....

 

[Bob dog]

The theory if Averillo doesn't play like Andrew Johns we will go nowhere is bullshit, individual brilliance is throughout in the new look.

 

[capt obvious]

All depends on how quick the boys gel

 

[Caveman]

We will do fine.

One thing is for sure, we will notch up more wins this year than last.

 

[Berries]

Our biggest problem will be injuries. A couple of big outs and we will almost be fielding the same crap from this year.

 

[GreenTurd]

Top 6 I think. Attack wise were good. Our edge defence has been a shambles for years, fox is very good fixes 1 edge. The other edge is a worry.

 

[Dingo]

You can scrape into the 8 with more losses than wins, it's not that hard.

 

[B-Train]

It's bad enough to post what some of the mainstream clown journos write.. Who cares what some YouTube nobody thinks?

You can say that about most teams. We have also strengthened our depth in a big way or havent you noticed...

 

[John Matrix]

Better to fly under the Radar and over deliver than have any expectations that you don't achieve.

Honestly don't give a crap what any jurno, fan or ex-player thinks.

Guys a genius because neither will half the teams unless youre the knights who default in with a F/A in the minus.

Because MSM is all a lie and social media is the bastion of truth. Whoops wrong thread .

1. Storm, 2. Roosters, 3. Panthers
4. Manly, 5. Rabbitohs,
6. Sharks, 7. Eels
8. Raiders, 9. Titans, 10. Broncos, 11. Knights, 12. Bulldogs, 13. Dragons, 14. Warriors, 15. Tigers
16. Cowboys

We can finish anywhere in that 8th-15th bracket, but I wouldn't be expecting to finish 8th, something like 12th is a lot more reasonable. 23 when we get Mahoney and Kikau is when we'll push for the 8 imo.

When I look through a lot of the rosters of the teams in the 8th-15th bracket they've strengthened a lot. It's not just us. The Dragons, Warriors and Tigers will still be hard to beat.

 

[Bulldog1966]

I'm just going to ease into next season with high hopes and see how expectations form based on our early games.

Same..and I'm refusing to read bs opinions from journos and other rugby league fans, they can eat an oversized hotdog with veins ...

Exactly right.
Management have done almost 100% of what could be humanly achieved to put together a competitive team.

We haven't earnt the right to be a Top 8 contender, as yet, but we are on the right trajectory.

As supporters we always hope for the best, and there's no reason, at this stage, that we can't be hopeful of doing very very well.

I'll be happy to see what the new players bring, guys like Fox, Burto, Vaughan, TPJ, some new enterprising play, renewed Bulldogs spirit and determination in defence and not being continual easy beats, with the dreaded sense that we haven't got a snowball's chance in hell of winning more than 3 games in a season.

We all said it will take a while to regain our standing, it begins now this pre-season

 

[JayBee]

Reasons we can: formidable forward pack. Outstanding five eight.

Reasons we can’t: Barrett

 

[BULLDVGS]

Reasons we can’t: Barrett

I get why people think this, but surely the recruitment drive hes been a part of says something about his coaching ability.

 

[senshidog]

Nothing wrong with being wrong 100% of the time.

Kinda expected when you have a flashy side and still get the spoon in 2020.

Like u I’m the eternal optimist,I do believe we will make the top 6,I’ve seen a couple of their training sessions and for me combinations are something that they are already working on,there are negatives and for me 9 is the obvious one,but the one most people forget nowadays is that forwards win matches,and I believe we have one of the best in the business,if they can control games we will go better than most think.

I hope you are right. I want Barrett to succeed but he is the biggest unknown and risk going into next year.

Let's hope Barrett has learned from his past errors and leans on Gould and Hanson for support
