So Junior Kangaroos and Junior Kiwis is coming up soon, would any players be involved?

Adam Keighran might be a long shot for the Junior Roos as a bench utility.

Reimis Smith is an incumbent, while Morgan Harper and Lopeti Mafi will also come into calculations for the Junior Kiwis.

 

[Mitch Connor]

Smith would be too old now right?

Harper might be a long shot by they were blowing smoke up his arse massively during the Manly game on Fox a couple weeks ago.

 

[ALX25]

Smith would be too old now right?

'97 DOB, so still eligible.

Unlikely that any Bulldogs will be selected for their respective states for SOO U20.

 

[dogluva]

Absolutely terrible game from the Dogs. Seemed to just basically give up and were lucky that they did not have a 100 put on them. Honestly whoever thought that this competition would be the stepping tone to the Nrl and unlimited amounts of quality players would be unearthed needs help. Will be glad when this 'premier' competition is assigned to the bin. Nothing but a glorified touch footy competition where defence is nothing.

 

[ALX25]

Unlikely that any Bulldogs will be selected for their respective states for SOO U20.

No Bulldogs in either side.

Dogs mid season signings continue, backrower Zac Cardassilaris from Roosters
