this game is vital against manly

Only chance i think we have is if we get a wild storm and conditions are deplorable. This is another 50 point loss IMO

Yep,thank god Galvin left , he has zero at present , 3 steps and a bomb , and a pass that comes of most times but I watched last night and they are not crisp passes , players reaching for them in front , up or beside , he just fires them off and prays , bulldogs did us a huge favour , Galvin has not improved his game or his team , in fact he has not played as well as he did hear in games and his team well first place last year , then he arrives and the rest is in front of everyone , they have imploded and gone backwards badly , yes it’s a team sport but he was bought in while,they were on top of the comp to give them the edge they needed to win the comp , how’s that going now , I say suck it up Galvin family and Gould and there crap coach , he can’t even settle on a team and leave it alone , he is like that kid who always has to move something just to make him feel good , over rated coach , disgraceful club manager , poor family choice 😂 my rant

Ciraldo comes across as entitled. I coached at Penrith so I’m awesome. I know everything and I’m awesome. Despite being a shit coach I’m coaching at the Bulldogs and I’m awesome. I’m losing but still awesome.

Gould sold the dream that Galvin will win comps and Ciraldo was going to be leading the ship. Watching what is transpiring is hilarious. Just hope they completely collapse. It’s similar to when Bennett coached Newcastle and the supporters were already counting their chickens.

Think people have forgotten how good he is....

Fresh on the scene.
He was talk of the game.
Then he got injured and was forgotten real quick.

He's a good player.
Perth landed a good one.

I don't mind their spine.

Meany is solid.
Wishart is crafty.
Sexton, well, he looked capable at the dogs till they torpedoed their season.

Yea, It looks average but it also looks like they have people who will get the job done.

Mal was going ot pay Jayden Campbell 1.7M a season or something stupid if he came there. Would have ruined WA.

Wow .. so glad we got rid of Galvin out of our side .. was over paid .. over hyped .. he hasn’t kicked on like the experts said he .. (ie: Gus the flog Gould) said he would. Infact I would go as far to say he’s gone backwards .. !! hahahaha we saved our money there .. !!

Interestingly, Galvin is beating Luai in most stats this year. I'm not a a fan of Lachlan as he comes across as an impetuous child, however Jarome doesn't stand by his word, which is even worse.

we need to hope
Herbert can tackle this game...
fogarty coming back maybe disrupts the good attack manly has had with Walsh and brooks
olakuatu somehow gets injured
we get a fair bit of rain to make it a contest up front
expect tdm and luai to have good games today

 

[Telltails]

Twal out is a real kicker. Just hope Manly have an off day and the ref doesn't facilitate a lopsided possession rate in the first 20 or their speed/ kicking game will haunt us.

our PM Albo doesn’t keep his word either
we are still better off without Galvin we dodged a massive bullet

Yes it is vital … but the Tigers are not going to win it … I’ll be satisfied if they can keep it within a dozen …

dreams are free
right now we could use joey manu at right centre prior to June 30

Ok here is a wild one.

Canterbury will soon get pissed off with Gould and Ciraldo.
Gould will need to make a decision.


Lastly, not similar to Wayne's stint at Newcastle. Wayne actually got Newcastle hitting 7th and playing the Quarter final. What derailed Bennett and the Knights was Alex McKinnon's spine injury.

Bulldogs, it's not even Galvin's fault I think.
The coach has gone "hey running 5/8 who is super fit. Go play Halfback!".
Galvin has issues as a player, which he could sort out at 5/8. He was never a halfback and I have no idea what the Bulldogs are doing.

I don’t really put the current woes on Ciraldo ….he doesn’t have a squad of players that can win games the way they are being played ( and refereed) in 2026 .. they are slow all over the park …their props are mid and spine is one of the worst in the comp… sure he is making a lot of changes ..but what else should be do? Stick with getting flogged every week ?

The problem is that this is the squad that Gus put together and it sucks … he deserves to be punted at the end of this year …they need to start again and 69 yr old Gus shouldn’t be getting another chance to put the next squad together … Ciraldo is probably gone too… but he has been collateral damage and will likely get another chance elsewhere down the road …Gus will be back full time in the commentary box ..unfortunately

Heck our socials are screaming "Iceman". So as a dream it is one with half a chance.

Man Joey Manu + Tyrone May at centers would be incredible.


There are clearly some teams that are up for a raid. I still think we need another decent prop, definately a quality center and an upgraded utility.

Basically you’re saying he’s sucked this year…So why are you taking it so personally that he’s leaving. You should be happy. Unless you want him to keep weighing us down.

What derailed Bennett and the Knights was old mate Tinkler went broke and couldn't afford to pay uncle Wayne so uncle Wayne said see ya.

Hopefully you mean Taylan.

And a couple manly sin bins

The amount of glazing Tyrone gets, it wouldn’t surprise me if he doesn’t.

Lol...they're stuck with them both for another 5 .5 years

The Dogs are absolutely cooked. They’re going nowhere with that spine.
