Bulldogs Academy Team List: Round 2

All four teams will host the Canberra Raiders at McCredie Park and Hammondville Oval respectively. 

Lisa Fiaola Cup (Womens Under 17s)

A word from the Coach, Vanessa Foliaki: 

"Canberra will be a tough test. We haven't played them before, but we know they bring a mobile, fit pack that will challenge us physically," Foliaki said.

"This week is about discipline and detail. Stick to our processes, trust our game plan, and bring the same energy and intent. If we do that, we give ourselves the best chance to perform."

Harold Matthews Cup (Mens Under 17s)

A word from the Coach, Mark O'Meley: 

"The boys have jumped straight into the pre-season, have hit the ground running and working hard from day one," he said.

They have shown great progress in the areas that the program respects, and they have been steadily building the foundations with a clear focus on improvement of team and Club principles.

"It has been a long pre-season with the bye in Round 1, and now it's time to put it together on the field." 

Tarsha Gale Cup (Womens Under 19s)

A word from the Coach, Charlotte Henry:

"It was a strong start to the season but now move on to prepare for our clash with Canberra," Henry said.

They are a strong, fast and elusive team, so we need to be dominant in both attack and defence.

"Our focus for the week will be to stick to our structure, trust the process, and be relentless." 

SG Ball Cup (Mens Under 19s)

A word from the Coach, Steve Turner: 

We're really excited to kick off the season this week having had the bye in Round 1," Turner said.

The boys have worked hard and we're looking forward to being able to play some footy this weekend. 

"There's been a real focus on the basics over the summer and as a coaching staff, we're excited to see the group in action."
