Bulldogs 2007
Encyclopedia
The 2007 Bulldogs RLFC season was the 73rd in the club's history. They competed in the NRL's 2007 Telstra Premiership, finishing the regular season 6th (out of 16) and reaching the semi-finals before being knocked out by the Parramatta Eels
.
. While the Knights won 25-24 in a dramatic season opener at EnergyAustralia Stadium
, the game will long be remembered for the sending off of Sonny Bill Williams
for a swinging left arm which left Andrew Johns
lying face down on the turf unconscious in the fourth minute. The Bulldogs capitalised on this, at one point leading 24-8 before a comeback by the Knights saw them lose by just one point.
The Bulldogs then suffered a gigantic loss to Penrith
a week later, before recording their first win of the season against new club the Gold Coast Titans
in front of a home crowd of 14,675. Round four saw them clash with newly crowned heavyweights South Sydney
, who had yet to lose a game. The Bulldogs rose to the occasion, disposing of the highly-fancied Rabbitohs 34-10 in front of a record Telstra Stadium crowd of 34,315. This was deemed a South Sydney home game.
Round five saw the Bulldogs host a tense match against the Manly Sea Eagles, ultimately going down by just two points in what was a very physical game at Telstra Stadium
. A large crowd of 20,269 attended the match, which saw Hazem El Masri take the field in his 250th First Grade Premiership Match. The 'Dogs then travelled to Parramatta in Round six, and produced a remarkable comeback from 16-6 down just before halftime to snare victory 21-18 over the Eels
in front of over 18,000 fans.
Round seven's clash was set to be a bumper one at Telstra Stadium, but a disappointing crowd and performance from the Bulldogs saw them fall to the Wests Tigers
34-18. The next week, the Bulldogs returned to form with a comfortable 30-16 win against the Newcastle Knights at Telstra Stadium. Hazem El Masri
scored a try and 5 conversions to take his career tally to 1910 points, only the 6th player in history to do so.
Round nine was the first Monday Night game for the Bulldogs in 2007, playing against the in-form Melbourne Storm
at Olympic Park
. With Origin selections the next day, both teams were eager to impress. It was a disappointing game for the 'Dogs, going down 38-14. Round ten, and the Bulldogs returned to Telstra Stadium, taking on the Sharks minus their Origin stars. A late comeback from the Bulldogs in the second half was not enough, losing 30-20 in front of only 12,384 fans.
There were many Origin stars backing up from both teams for the round eleven clash with the North Queensland Cowboys
at Suncorp Stadium
. Johnathan Thurston
and Matthew Bowen were brilliant as they carved up the 'Dogs defence, and although the Bulldogs rallied for a late comeback, it would again not be enough as the Cowboys ran away to a 26-16 win, leaving the Bulldogs with their 3rd straight loss and sitting 14th on the ladder.
Round twelve was a crucial match for the Bulldogs, travelling across the Tasman to face the New Zealand Warriors
at Mount Smart Stadium. Under pressure, the Bulldogs broke their three-game losing streak with a 40-20 win over a 12-man Warriors outfit, only their 5th win of the season. Round thirteen was a bye.
Returning from the bye, the Bulldogs took on the Brisbane Broncos
at Telstra Stadium. A sloppy affair, the Bulldogs went down 19-12, and dropped down to 13th on the ladder.
Again under pressure, the Bulldogs had another tough assignment in the Manly Sea Eagles at Brookvale Oval
. It was a stunning win for the Bulldogs, defeating the Sea Eagles 27-8. The next week, the Bulldogs returned once again to Monday Night Football for their round sixteen clash with the struggling Sydney Roosters
. Without their Origin stars, it was a dominant display from Sonny Bill Williams
that led the 'Dogs to a 38-6 dismantling of the Roosters in front of a big crowd of 20,722.
Now sitting on 10th spot, the Bulldogs had a chance to jump into the Top 8 against the Cronulla Sharks
at Toyota Park. Down 12-0 at halftime, a good comeback saw the Bulldogs prevail 14-12 for their 3rd straight win. The next week, however, saw the Bulldogs suffer a loss against bottom-placed Penrith Panthers
at Telstra Stadium, in front of just 12,465 fans. In control of the match for the first half, the Bulldogs conceded 26 points in the second half, losing 30-20. They were lucky to be sitting on 8th spot after round eighteen.
For round nineteen, the 'Dogs travelled to Carrara Stadium
to face the Titans. It was a great performance from the Bulldogs as they streaked to a 36-12 thrashing against the Titans.
Round twenty and the Bulldogs took on the St George Illawarra Dragons
at WIN Stadium
. In front of 19,051 fans, the Bulldogs scored late in the game to score an upset, winning 28-24. This was the 'Dogs 10th win of the season, with their position in the Top 8 secured for another week.
Another Friday Night blockbuster was played in front of 27,201 fans where the Bulldogs hosted the Parramatta Eels at Telstra Stadium. Parramatta dominated the first half, leading 18-10 at the break, but during the second half the 'Dogs rallied for yet another comeback, scoring 2 tries to make the scoreline 28-22 with 10 minutes to go. As another try-scoring opportunity passed, Sonny Bill Williams looked to have scored off another one-on-one strip, but was ruled to have knocked it forward. In the end, the Bulldogs lost 34-22.
With a chance to cement their spot in the Top 8, the Bulldogs played against the Canberra Raiders
at Telstra Stadium. Another superb performance from Sonny Bill Williams, including a first career hat-trick, saw the Bulldogs effectively end the Raiders' finals hopes with a crushing 52-4 win, their biggest win over the Raiders in history. Hazem El Masri kicked only 6 goals from 10, but during the game scored a try to take his career tally to 2000 points. He ended the day on 2010 points, only 166 points from Andrew Johns' record.
The Bulldogs began their final three games (all to be played on Friday nights through Rounds 23, 24 and 25) with a one-point victory against the Brisbane Broncos by 25-24. The game 'see-sawed' considerably before a Brent Sherwin field goal managed to put the Bulldogs in front by one with 5 minutes remaining. The victory saw them temporarily third, but other results meant they kept their position in the top four and secured a likely finals berth.
The Bulldogs now have 2 matches left, first against the Melbourne Storm
at Telstra Stadium
, and then will conclude their regular season against the North Queensland Cowboys
at Dairy Farmers Stadium
on 31 August. With these two matches remaining, the Bulldogs are currently positioned in the top four.
