Mahoney came on with just 16 minutes to play with the game already in the Bulldogs\u2019 keeping.<\/p>\n
Ciraldo confirmed post game that Mahoney, who is heading to the Cowboys next season, will have a reduced role going forward, while lauding Hayward.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he (Hayward) was really good. Probably a couple of moments he\u2019d like back but defensively he makes our team function at a really high level and that\u2019s probably the greatest compliment you could give someone,\u201d Ciraldo said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe helps make other people around him better.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been doing that for a while and deserved the start tonight.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll definitely start next week. He\u2019s earned the right to start the game through his performances and that\u2019s really hard on Reed because Reed\u2019s been doing a lot of good things for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not so much about Reed it\u2019s more about Bailey and what he\u2019s been doing for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s earned the right and I think the way he and the team performed tonight, he deserves to stay there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Webby fronts media post brutal Dogs loss | 03:36<\/p>\n
There were plenty of question marks heading into Saturday night\u2019s fixture over the Bulldogs\u2019 ability to handle wet conditions.<\/p>\n
Some of their worst performances this year (vs. Broncos, Tigers) have been in the wet.<\/p>\n
Ciraldo was smarting post-game, pleased he was able to prove some doubters wrong.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe played the conditions a lot better than we have the last three times we played (in the wet),\u201d Ciraldo said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlaying the conditions a lot smarter than we have the last couple of times so that\u2019s pleasing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI woke up and read the paper today that we couldn\u2019t play in the wet so it\u2019s nice to prove that wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo is committing to another shock late season switch to his spine, with hooker Reed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55690,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,7618,763,761,762,158,668,46101,7675,85,46100],"class_list":["post-55689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cameron-ciraldo","tag-fox-league","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-press-conference","tag-question-marks-heading","tag-reed-mahoney","tag-sports","tag-team-function"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55689\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
