He\u2019s done it in Sydney. Canterbury has a backs-to-the-board win that keeps their season alive,\u201d Fox League commentator Andrew Voss said.<\/p>\n ‘Shades of Vegas’: Ciro explains switch | 08:07<\/p>\n CAPTAIN COURAGEOUS<\/p>\n The Bulldogs have only scored more points this season than the hapless Dragons which is why their coach decided to gamble.<\/p>\n Ciraldo shook things up in a bid to spark his side\u2019s attack by moving Crichton to five-eighth for the first time in his NRL career, with Matt Burton shifting to left centre which saw Bronson Xerri drop back to the bench.<\/p>\n But the changes didn\u2019t achieve a great deal with Crichton running the ball just once in the first half, although he did score their lone try in the opening 40 minutes when he latched on to a Lachlan Galvin grubber.<\/p>\n Crichton fell asleep at marker which allowed Reuben Garrick to score Manly\u2019s second try, but that will all be forgotten given his late heroics.<\/p>\n The question now is what Ciraldo does going forward with the Bulldogs coach facing some major decisions at the selection table as they look to stay in touch with the top eight. <\/p>\n HOLY MOLE<\/p>\n Pick him, Loz.<\/p>\n That\u2019s the message every Blues fan is sending Laurie Daley as he mulls over the most important squad announcement of his Origin career.<\/p>\n Daley inexplicably dropped Haumole Olakau\u2019atu for Origin II, but the barnstorming back-rower must return to the starting side for the Suncorp Stadium decider after he dominated again on the right edge.<\/p>\n ‘SHOULD have put the game away’ | 06:00<\/p>\n No forward has broken more tackles than Olakau\u2019atu this year, and he was at his rampaging best with nine more on Saturday night to go with 154 metres.<\/p>\n Blues fans will nervously wait to see how Olakau\u2019atu pulls up after he appeared to hurt his left shoulder, but he was able to finish the game.<\/p>\n Dylan Lucas was put in a tough spot on Wednesday night on debut and should go back to the bench where he would provide fantastic coverage in the back row or centres.<\/p>\n TURBO BOOST<\/p>\n There\u2019s another Sea Eagles superstar knocking on the door for an Origin recall after Trbojevic make a successful return from a hamstring injury that had kept him out since round seven.<\/p>\n The luckless fullback has been outstanding for the Blues in the past and is an option at centre or on the wing, with Latrell Mitchell, Bradman Best and Crichton other contenders.<\/p>\n Trbojevic set up an early break for Jason Saab and featured moments later when Lehi Hopoate scored the first of his two tries.<\/p>\n He\u2019ll need more minutes under his belt to convince Daley that he\u2019s ready, with his focus on Manly after they struggled against the scrappy Bulldogs.<\/p>\n It didn\u2019t help that they lost Kobe Hetherington to a head knock early on, while hooker Brandon Wakeham limped off with a calf issue minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n Fogarty\u2019s kicking in general play was outstanding, but the veteran will be filthy with himself after he twice struck the post with conversion attempts and then missed a gift field goal from close range.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poster-fallback.png\"\/)
