Dogs hammered

The Bulldogs have made massive strides since Mick Potter took over the reins a few months back, but showed they still have the odd 'shocker' in them against the Warriors.Going into the game as favourites, the Bulldogs missed 31 tackles and came up with a host of simple errors to hand the Warriors a 42-18 win.Once every couple of months, the Warriors produce an 80-minute effort that would beat any team in the comp - sadly for the Bulldogs they decided to come good on Friday night and handed out a real mauling.

Bulldogs on the rise

When assessing contenders for Dally M Coach of the Year, Mick Potter would have to be a genuine chance.No team has improved more than the Bulldogs since Potter took over from the hapless Trent Barrett, and Canterbury played some superb football in disposing of the Titans 36-26 on Sunday.The transformation has been stunning. A team that struggled in attack is suddenly scoring tries for fun, with six scorching tries against the Titans.Potter won't get the Dally M gong, but for a coach who has totally turned his team's season around in tough circumstances, he deserves massive praise.As for the poor old Titans, they have now lost eight on the trot and it seems just a matter of time before they give Justin Holbrook his marching orders.
