Bulldogs coach Phil Gould says the team is rethinking “every part of our operation” after concluding it has been caught “on the wrong side” of the NRL’s newer faster style of play. Multiple outlets report Gould’s assessment that the Bulldogs are not matching the demands of the game as it is currently being played across the competition. The comments indicate the club is reviewing how it trains and prepares to respond to faster tempo and the pressures that come with it. While the reports focus on Gould’s candid acknowledgement, they do not specify particular tactical changes or outcomes in individual matches. Overall, the coverage is consistent: Gould frames the issue as structural rather than isolated, suggesting adjustments are needed across the team’s approach to performance. The reports from Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne present the same central message, with no outlet offering a conflicting interpretation of Gould’s remarks or the reasons for the Bulldogs’ struggle.
