Pre Game Thread, Trial 1: Bulldogs vs Storm @ Belmore, 7pm Thu 15-Feb

[B-Train]

Strong enough looking team. It will be good to see how Xerri, Hutch, Hughes and some of the youngsters go. I'm sure the 2nd half will be mainly the Reserves playing.

now I have to reactivate my kayo account.....

Yeah it's a bloody shame Murdoch/Fox has the sole rights to our games, seeing as Gus can't shame Ch9 into more TV games for us lol...we will earn the right some day lol

Iv seen Samrani play a few times and involved in a few opposed session - yet to see him in either not spend a fair bit of time with trainers getting treatments - some game injuries are just a case of getting up anyway.

Has he been playing centre or backrow?

Max King named as Maxwell King, that's a huge sign he's going to go to a new level this year if ever I've seen one

A bit off topic, but I dreamt we beat Parra 46-6 in round one the other week lol

Skeltons about to give someone fits

 

[Bulldog Brower]

Can someone- please give some info on player 25, Luke Smith, position, potential, etc.

Centre - imho he will be better suited to edge forward - in his defence he has played very little footy over the last two years - i may be being too harsh re being in the hands of trainers

 

[Flanagun]

You post too much, take it easy brah.

Just waltzes in here and acts like he's been around since 2016, or something.

Backrow, fit as fu#k and plays like an old school bulldog. I think there'll be quite a few guys knocking the door down to take over Kikau's spot in a couple years.

Really good, plays backrow and was in the flegg grand final side. Looks to have put on a fair bit of size. We have plenty of stocks coming through as edge forwards, Harry Hayes is a gun too, Joran Samrani looks to have grown into an edge forward too. If we were to turn one into a middle may be him as Hayes came through more as a centre and has great hands.

Another Bulldogs/Gunners win like 04?

Probs as we brought in so many backs blocking his path to FG. Hopefully once footy starts he gets into his work.

Yeah true bro. I know he can cover wing, centre and 2nd row. I wish they turn him into a prop.

Interested in how Hayes & Kautoga goes with their opportunities.
