That sparked something in the second half, but Burton has returned to five-eighth where he\u2019ll partner Lachlan Galvin, with experienced playmaker Sean O\u2019Sullivan on the bench. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a bit in our attack that I really like where we\u2019ve won the possession every week, we\u2019ve made the most meters every week, we\u2019ve also made the most line breaks in each game every week. So they\u2019re all really good signs,\u201d Ciraldo said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe haven\u2019t been able to execute every opportunity and we played against some teams that have scrambled really well. So we\u2019re just trying to take leanings out of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to show our guys what we\u2019re doing well and where we can improve. And that process doesn\u2019t change whether we win, lose, (based on) reactions or anything. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re just trying to get better every week. It\u2019s our third game on the weekend, we\u2019re coming into our fourth game and we just want to see an improvement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve won two games, we\u2019ve lost one, so I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any need for panic stations. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think a lot got made of Critta (Crichton) moving in a little bit last week. Burto took a bump, needed a little rest out wide. Critta came in and got involved with the ball in his hands and we scored two tries pretty quickly after that. <\/p>\n
“You still got juice in your legs?” | 03:10<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I\u2019m not sure of all the hysteria around that, but there are a lot of things we\u2019re doing well.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs take on the Rabbitohs on Good Friday but will be without Harry Hayes after the workhorse forward was ruled out for the second week in a row.<\/p>\n
Ironically, Hayes was the player used in Tuesday\u2019s Instagram post, with Logan Spinks to replace him on the bench. <\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, Harry won\u2019t be playing tomorrow,\u201d Ciraldo said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe hasn\u2019t pulled up as well as we would have hoped from training earlier in the week, so that gives an opportunity for other guys. Harry\u2019s very important, but they\u2019re all very important in our squad.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo has backed the club\u2019s decision to shut off social media comments on a post…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":580199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,689,46737,21686,145613,4428,7618,7622,19061,167600,11101,55893,284402,21683,284404,2105,7681,284405,4617,33215,49979,761,762,673,10668,158,677,132921,8244,80471,284403,1314,284401,284399,4439,85,4546,284406,284400,698],"class_list":["post-580198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-ayush-kumar","tag-ben-hunt","tag-bench-role","tag-brisbane-broncos","tag-cameron-ciraldo","tag-canterbury-bulldogs","tag-coaching-staff","tag-comment-section","tag-cooper-cronk","tag-death-threats","tag-dragons-fullback","tag-ezra-mam","tag-game-problem","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-ian-hitchcock","tag-inside-recruitment-horror","tag-lachlan-galvin","tag-lord-gould-of-brookwood","tag-martin-gabor","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-new-south-wales","tag-newcastle","tag-nrl","tag-oceania","tag-online-trolls","tag-panic-button","tag-panic-stations","tag-pressure-increases","tag-social-media","tag-social-media-attacks","tag-social-media-team","tag-south-sydney-rabbitohs","tag-sports","tag-stephen-crichton","tag-vile-attacks","tag-vile-social-media","tag-western-bulldogs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580198","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=580198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/580199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=580198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=580198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=580198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
