Bulldogs coach Des Hasler was left with more questions than answers despite his side’s 13-10 win over the Dragons in Round 21 of the NRL Telstra Premiership on Friday night.
Fourteen errors had a big influence on Hasler’s opinion of the Bulldogs’ performance though he was pleased to see his side earn a much-needed win.
The Bulldogs’ 12th win of the season sees them re-enter the top four on the Telstra Premiership ladder for the time being.
Their three-point win over St George Illawarra comes just eight days after they were humbled by reigning premiers North Queensland to the tune of a 36-0 flogging.
Racing out to a 13-0 lead at half-time, the Bulldogs failed to register a single point in the second stanza.
“Possession is a real issue for us at the moment. We have been coming up with too many unforced errors and it’s something we need to address pretty quickly,” Hasler said.
“There’s some very good aspects about what we’re doing, but there are other aspects we need to address. We didn’t provide much of a platform in attack in the second half. We were able to get into some good field position but we couldn’t complete the sets.”
