Retired Canterbury star Sam Perrett believes the Bulldogs can build their NRL future around under-siege halves Moses Mbye and Josh Reynolds.In the eyes of many pundits the Bulldogs underachieved in 2016, culminating in their elimination final exit to Penrith.A month ago a top four spot was a real possibility for the Dogs, now their premiership dreams are over after four successive losses.Mybe and Reynolds have copped much of the criticism for the Dogs lacklustre end to the year.But Perrett said coach Des Hasler should rebuild his side around his halves.When Moey (Mbye) and Grubby (Reynolds) are on they are the best in the competition, Perrett said.There is just that instinct, that rawness about them, and that unpredictability.When everyone is tired guys like Grubby and Moey they seem to be able to make those freakish plays.You would think they dont have that energy in them but they do those sort of things.For me it is just a matter of harnessing that strength of theirs.Critics of Haslers playing style have claimed Mbye and Reynolds havent been able to take ownership of the team because the Dogs forwards, in particular skipper James Graham, are asked to play first receiver so often.Perrett said Hasler would look to shake-up the Bulldogs ahead of next season.The wheels are always spinning for Dessie, he is always trying to figure out what is going on, how do we get better, Perrett said.At the end of the day what we did this year wasnt good enough, he will be looking at things and how to fix them.There will be changes.Canterburys NSW back-rower Josh Jackson said fault for the Dogs inconsistent season didnt lie with Hasler.I havent been to another club but I cant imagine there are too many coaches who do as much work as Des does, Jackson saidYou never see him turn up in the morning. He is the first one there and the last one to leave.I dont think there is any player unhappy with Des at all.In the past few weeks it is individual errors that have cruelled us and we have to fix that up next year.

After Gasquet beat fifth-seeded Ivan Dodig of Croatia 7-5, 6-3, Tsonga followed up with a 6-7 (3), 6-2, 6-2 win against sixth-seeded Edouard Roger-Vasselin in an all-French match. COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina `s defense accepted coach Will Muschamps challenge and his freshman quarterback made his coachs decision to start him look good as the Gamecocks beat East Carolina 20-15 on Saturday.After last weeks loss, Muschamp said he had to find players who could tackle. His defense did him even better, picking off a pass and recovering a fumble in its own end zone and had another interception at the Gamecocks 1. The Pirates only scored on two of six trips into the red zone and didnt have a play longer than 28 yards.All that was enough to take the pressure off Brandon McIlwain in his first start. It wont be his last. Muschamp is turning the Gamecocks (2-1) over to the freshman.Hes got a lot of poise about him, said Muschamp, who decided it was McIlwains time after the Gamecocks offense looked listless in a 27-14 loss to Mississippi State last week. Hes got a lot of the `it factor you look for at that position.McIlwain ran for 34 yards and two touchdowns and was 16-for-28 for 195 yards passing.And dont go telling Muschamp how East Carolina (2-1) gained 519 yards to South Carolinas 312 yards or how Zay Jones caught 22 passes for the Pirates, setting a school record and finishing just one reception away from the Football Bowl Subdivision record.I dont look at the stat sheet and see how many yards they have. I only care about the score, said Muschamp, emphasizing what he thought were even more important statistics for Jones -- the senior had 190 yards receiving and his longest catch was for 15 yards.The Pirates turned the ball over four times and, after committing just seven penalties in their first two games, committed eight penalties Saturday.What I saw in this game is too many penalties. What I saw was too many turnovers. I saw a team that outgained another and a defense that outplayed the other defense. We didnt pull it through at the end, East Carolina coach Scottie Montgomery said.THE TAKEAWAYEAST CAROLINA: The Pirates have no one to blame but themselves. They allowed a South Carolina team that hadnt scored a point in the first half in its first two games to jump too a 17-0 lead after an 80-yard kickoff return by A.ddddddddddddJ. Turner to set up the game-opening score and an 84-yard drive on the Gamecocks second possession. Philip Nelson was 44-for-58 for 400 yards, but South Carolina had four sacks as he sometimes stayed in the pocket too long.We dont look at moral victories. Were going back to work, said Montgomery, hired at the end of last season.SOUTH CAROLINA: McIlwain looked like a freshman at times with several underthrows and overthrows. But he put two passes in just the right spots on a key fourth-quarter drive that ended with a 39-yard field goal from Elliot Fry -- South Carolinas only points in the final 52 minutes of the game. The freshman also made a key choice, pitching to David Williams on a fourth-and-1 option that sealed the win.Muschamp isnt letting his freshman quarterback talk to the media, so we dont know what he thought about his big day.ZAYS BIG DAYEast Carolina lined Jones up all over the field and he got open wherever he was. But after the game, he said he had no idea how many catches he had or how close to the record he was. Instead, he couldnt believe all the chances his team blew.It hurts to put great drives together and you get to where the money is and you cant cash it in, Jones said.Jones came into the game needing 130 catches to break East Carolinas career record held by Justin Hardy. That seems more likely to be obtainable after Saturdays performance.UP NEXTEAST CAROLINA: The Pirates finish a run of three straight games against Power 5 opponents by traveling to Virginia Tech. East Carolina has beaten the Hokies the past two years and Montgomery expects his team to shake off this loss quickly.We dont look at moral victories. Were going back to work, said Montgomery, hired at the end of last season.SOUTH CAROLINA: The Gamecocks play at Kentucky. Its likely the loser ends up near the bottom of the Southeastern Conferences Eastern Division.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
