Bulldogs Academy Team List: Round 9

A word from the Coach, Vanessa Foliaki: 

"As we head into this round, we know it's a must-win to secure a top two finish, especially after last week's cancellation" she said.

Parramatta are a strong side across the board, and we recognise the need to be at our absolute best to come away with the win.

"Our focus this week is entirely on our preparation, and we're looking forward to the challenge ahead."

Harold Matthews Cup (Mens Under 17s)

A word from the Coach, Mark O'Meley:

"We take on a red-hot South Sydney team sitting high on the ladder," he said.

"Despite this challenge, we will continue to take the positives from last week's win into Round 9."

Tarsha Gale Cup (Womens Under 19s)

A word from the Coach, Nik Wolfgramm:

"It's a massive game for both women's teams with results determining where we will sit come finals," he said.

Parramatta are a strong side that can cause problems if you allow them to. Our focus will be starting fast and minimising errors. If we can maintain this for 60 minutes it will put us in a good position to get the two points. 

"There's definitely a good buzz through the squad as we look forward to the weekend."

SG Ball Cup (Mens Under 19s)

A word from the Coach, Steve Turner: 

"We need to learn from our Round 8 loss and address our discipline as we look towards a very good South Sydney Rabbitohs side this week," he said.

"You learn a lot from losses and we will be working hard to fix these areas during the week."
