Phil Gould opens up on the Bulldogs\u2019 rough month, explains where confidence has dropped away, how injuries have hurt the side, and why the pressure of playing for a club like Canterbury can quickly overwhelm younger players when results turn south.
\nGus breaks down why the Bulldogs\u2019 defence-first DNA is being tested in today\u2019s NRL and why simply defending your way to wins is no longer enough.
\nPlus, a State of Origin debate. Did Laurie Daley get it wrong dropping Dylan Edwards for James Tedesco? Was Reece Walsh unlucky to miss out? And is the Cameron Munster and Sam Walker halves combination a gamble that could define the series?
\nWe finish with trivia, and a full NRL preview.
\nSix Tackles with Gus State of Origin Game 1 live podcast show is happening at The Locker Room from 2pm before kick off on Wednesday 27th of May. If you want to come along send us your best Ask Gus Question to sixtackles@nine.com.au It\u2019s all thanks to TAB.
