Amid a short-turnaround, a growing injury crisis and five years of coming up short, the odds are against Canterbury on Good Friday but the Bulldogs are fighting to overcome the odds.
Kiraz has been in outstanding form to open 2023, sitting in the top five for Dally M voting and leading the league in runs, run metres and offloads while also ranking third in tackle busts.
"I love playing first grade, I took a long journey to get here and I want to take advantage of it. So every time I go out there, I want to play with my heart out. I know what it means for the fans, so I want to do it for them and for my family," Kiraz said. "I love the stadium, I love the rivalry, it just feels special, it feels different. I'm a faithful person as well, so it really is Good Friday for me."
