This week on The Bye Round, Jimmy sits down with rising Bulldogs star Jacob Kiraz for an honest and inspiring conversation. From his deep connection with Bulldogs fans to the powerful bond between the players, Kiraz opens up about what makes this Bulldogs squad special.

Plus, they dive into the influence of Lebanese culture in his life and in the locker room, the impact of coach Cameron Ciraldo, the tough years at Canterbury, his State of Origin ambitions, and whether the Bulldogs have what it takes to win the Premiership in 2025.
