Dogs are the real deal this year.

I can't help but acknowledge how much an improved team Canterbury have become . They are 2nd best defensive team in the comp.  They are starting to tear broncos a new one . 
defence structure is easily the best I have seen this year. 

I don't think they have that much a greater squad than our team but the supreme fitness and team first work ethic is great to watch .     We desperately need a Connor fullback and more speed .   They are so well coached .

    • Gus is a twat with a big head

  • We seem to talk to a lot of players but can't  get the signature . The recruitment is make or break fir both Ryles and eels . Who , how , why and when . Blaze looks nothing like a 500k player 

  • The way they have turned their defense around is fantastic. The games they lose they are still in them to win, culture turned to winning

  • A couple of years ago, myself and some others said the dogs would be a top 8 side and we would drop down the bottom.

    Not one I wanted to be right about.

    I bet Mahoney is loving playing in a team with a fast backline.

  • I thought without  Crichton the dogs would struggle today but they haven't missed a beat - ciraldo has tapped into the dogs DNA, they gain confidence through their defence and hard work - when the controversy around training techniques was reported it was abvious the club means business now,  once they add a gun middle and halfback a title is just around the corner for them.I agree they are well coached just like the Panthers, if our club is any hope of success it's has be built around defence.

  • Thing is people are here would be like "I knew it" and "oh how embarrassing" etc.

    Good on them, they did it the right way and has worked out. Cannot fault them on how they have handled themselves in developing this club and Ciraldo has done a masterful job with their defence. If they win a comp before us, so be it what can you do?

    • Difference is dogs are now built for long term success, unfortunately for us  our club likes to dip their toe...

        • Agree Fong, something definitely needs to change at boardroom level they've redefined the term stability...

      • Not so much dip their toe, more so made a GF and can sit back and relax as that's a win. Keep those membership numbers booming. Now there is a sense the memberships drop, they have started to act.
