Season 2018 is over for half the teams in the competition. The players are dreaming of white sandy beaches and end of year trips. Yet before the bags are packed and we erase from our memories the often terrible performances of the teams that finished in the bottom eight, letโs have a look at some of the positives that they had. Whilst all these teams will have a lot of work to do to improve their fortunes in 2019, what can they take from this season to build on?
Canterbury Bulldogs
At first glance you could be mistaken into thinking that the Bulldogsโ season was a total disaster, but things are not as bad as the results seem to show for the 12th placed Bulldogs.
Their attack improved greatly from 2017 and Rhyse Martin has been a valuable find in goal kicking.
David Klemmer showed his value by leading the team in run metres.
Bulldogs were slow to start the season but finished strong, winning four out of the last six including a 38-0 win over the Dragons in Round 24.
Rookie coach Dean Pay will be all the better for having this season under his belt.
