\u201cAre you still on the Galvin for seven bandwagon? Because everyone in rugby leave thinks he is a good six except you,\u201d he asked Read.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you so stubborn in saying he\u2019s seven only.\u201d<\/p>\n
Read hit back, replying: \u201cHe\u2019s a good six as well. I\u2019m not saying he\u2019s a seven only. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019d be really good in the seven but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s their issue. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s the problem at that footy club.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s the playmaker and they\u2019re not winning so he\u2019s got to be part of the issue,\u201d argued Ritchie.<\/p>\n
Read responded: \u201cNathan Cleary couldn\u2019t win games on his own! <\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have got to help him. Stick him in the Dragons and see how he goes. I\u2019m just saying. he\u2019s not the only bloke to blame.\u201d<\/p>\n
Host Braith Anasta then jumped in and suggested Read was being \u201cridiculous\u201d, before asking him if Galvin was a half-eighth or a halfback.<\/p>\n
When Read began to hesitate Anasta interjected, saying: \u201cJust answer the question\u201d.<\/p>\n
Gorden Tallis also sided with Anasta and demanded Read say where he thinks Galvin\u2019s best position is, with all three going against the journalist.<\/p>\n
However all four pundits did at least agree that Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo was wrong to point the finger at the refereeing on Friday, arguing none of the decisions they made changed the outcome of the match.<\/p>\n
Ciraldo had asserted his belief post-match that Jacob Preston\u2019s late shot on Isaiya Katoa was not worthy of a sin bin.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what he wanted him to do,\u201d Ciraldo said of the tackle.<\/p>\n
\u201cKatoa has got the ball, he\u2019s going to tackle him and then he releases it in a millisecond before he hits him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand it, but we had to be tougher through that period. We defended great for a couple of minutes after that and then after 10 plays or so we let in just a soft try.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t control that, but I can control us being a bit tougher for longer after that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs are in desperate need of a response to turn their season around, starting with a game against the Cronulla Sharks at Magic Round.<\/p>\n
