He may have doubled his career 40\/20 tally and unlocked halfback Lachlan Galvin in a 32-0 whitewash of Wests Tigers, but Sean O’Sullivan knows it guarantees him nothing going forward.<\/p>\n
In his sixth game of the season at his sixth NRL club, 27-year-old O’Sullivan tormented the Tigers by foot and displayed the natural ball-playing skills that would earn him a starting spot at plenty of clubs.<\/p>\n
“Obviously I like to be in those kinds of moments and a lot of hard work goes into that from the coaching staff and in the games you\u2019ve just got to execute it,\u201d O\u2019Sullivan said, having only kicked one 40\/20 in his previous 65 NRL matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But perhaps his best attribute was working in sync with Galvin as he helped straighten the Bulldogs’ attack in just their second game together in the halves.<\/p>\n
Yet coach Cameron Ciraldo said post-match that skipper Stephen Crichton would return to the No.6 jersey with vital games ahead for the Bulldogs to push into the top eight, starting with the Warriors at Accor Stadium on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bulldogs v Wests Tigers – Round 20, 2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll just keep playing my role whatever that is, I\u2019ll keep doing it and back myself 110 per cent,\u201d O\u2019Sullivan said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe and Lachie have got on really well since I came to the Bulldogs. He\u2019s a super kid.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe trained a lot in the pre-season too… I was excited we got to play again together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He likes what I do so he can run around like a headless chook as he does, it\u2019s good<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course I\u2019d like to be starting but like I said, I\u2019m really confident in what I can bring especially to the Bulldogs. I understand what my strengths are.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just have to bide my time and keep working hard. Whatever happens, happens… whatever \u2018Ciro\u2019 thinks is best.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is a one-year deal with the Bulldogs and O\u2019Sullivan said he hadn\u2019t given deep thought to 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re just sorting through a couple of things at the moment but I leave that up to my manager \u2013 I\u2019ll just keep trying to put my best foot forward in whatever position I\u2019m in and go from there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hasn\u2019t ruled out Super League but said he felt comfortable at the Bulldogs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Curran makes his mark with a double<\/p>\n
\u201cI love being part of the Bulldogs… my partner and I are about to have our second kid, so for me I won\u2019t look too far ahead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In other words, he\u2019s not particularly keen for a seventh club after the Roosters, Broncos, Warriors, Panthers, Dolphins and now Dogs \u2013 three of those were one-year deals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d be lying if I said that wasn\u2019t the case,\u201d he said, when asked if he\u2019d like to settle at just one club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really super-confident what I can bring to a team and I would obviously love that opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just have to keep doing my role. I\u2019m not bigger than anyone else at this club, or in this team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t out my wants or needs in front of anyone else\u2019s because we\u2019 all competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He may have doubled his career 40\/20 tally and unlocked halfback Lachlan Galvin in a 32-0 whitewash of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":811699,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-811698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811698","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=811698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/811699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=811698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=811698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=811698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
