Bulldogs<\/a> captain Reed Mahoney<\/a> has unleashed on his team after what he described as an "unacceptable" showing against the Warriors.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs conceded the first three tries of the night to the Warriors, who ran out with a comfortable 24-12 win at Accor Stadium, with the final scoreline not telling the full story of the New Zealanders' dominance.<\/p>\n

Speaking post-match,\ufeff a livid Mahoney offered up a downcast review of his team's performance.<\/p>\n

"The whole thing was frustrating," he said.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffIt's unacceptable. I haven't got much else to say.<\/p>\n

\"Reed<\/p>\n

"\ufeffWe've got to have a hard look at ourselves, as individuals as well. We're just waiting on others to do our job and it's not what we're about."<\/p>\n

After beginning the game in an 18-point hole, Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo<\/a> labelled his team's attacking pressure as "disappointing".<\/p>\n

"The first half just wasn't good enough," he said.<\/p>\n

"We spoke all week about starting fast and we just didn't get it done\ufeff.<\/p>\n

"We give a penalty away early, we give the opposition possession and [conceding] the three tries is just not what we want to be about, but it is what we are at the moment.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs responded after the break as young gun Harrison Edwards stepped the Warriors forwards close to the line in the 45th minute.<\/p>\n

Winger J\ufeffayden Okunbor also scored but the damage was already done.<\/p>\n

"I thought we responded in the second half, I thought we played better\ufeff but it was way too late," Ciraldo said.<\/p>\n

"We can't come in and play like that in the first half and then wait for a spray at half time and then respond in the second half."<\/p>\n

Coming off a four-point loss to the Raiders during Magic Round, Ciraldo said he would consider shaking up his team ahead of the round 12 clash with the Titans.<\/p>\n

"We'll look at making changes," he said.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffIt's a result of performance, clearly if guys are doing their job in the 17 then you're not making many changes.<\/p>\n

\"Watene-Zelezniak<\/p>\n

"The teams at the top of the table roll out the same team because everyone is doing their job but when you're in a position where you're not getting those performances consistently, then I've got to look for guys who can.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffThere are some guys on the fringe of our squad that are really putting their hand up [to play].<\/p>\n

"Blake Wilson came in today and did an outstanding job. This is the first week we have been able to use guys like Blake because he's outside of the top 30 – once you get to round 11 you can use blokes outside of the top 30 and there's a couple more [players] in that boat as well.<\/p>\n

"We've got a NSW Cup game tomorrow that's a really good opportunity for those guys to come out and show us that they want to be in the NRL team, but the way some of them are training, they're showing me every day."<\/p>\n
