Canterbury football boss Phil Gould has teed off on the NRL's scheduling department for failing to give his team enough time between games. The Bulldogs won a golden point thriller over North Queensland on Sunday night, and will back up to play South Sydney on Good Friday at 4.05pm. The issue has been exacerbated by a casualty ward that is overflowing at Belmore, with the club having 10 players on the injured list this week. "We've got a lot of players out, but we've been that way pretty much most of the season, and we had some more injuries the other night," Gould told. "It's a very short turnaround. We go from playing the last game on Sunday night to Friday afternoon. "It's a four-day recovery, it's ridiculous. "People want to talk about welfare, and the RLPA want to argue about time off during the holidays. What about this? "We've got the two teams that played Sunday night having to back up and play on Friday. "What sort of scheduling is that compared to everyone else? And why does that happen?"
