Official Round 8 - Bulldog v Shark - Team List + Match Discussion

[pillow]

Averillo’s knee is cooked and burns has an ankle injury, watch us be down a back in the first 5min for the third week in a row

 

[Cappuccino]

Demoted to an equally important position. How will Kyle ever live with that shame?

Seriously, what does Ciro expect this todo...apart from get in our players' heads. The bloke's an idiot.

Who mentioned demoted??

 

[Baseball Furies]

If KO is debuting, a late change with Flanno will take the pressure/focus off him in the lead up!

Here’s hoping at least..

 

[KLil]

I love that Ciro is constantly trying new things to find the right formula but for fux sake give SKELO a go brah!

 

[Howie B]

Is it just me or is moving Burton to 7 a sign that Oloapu will debut at five eight?

100%.

Karl has been playing 7 in reggies but played all of his junior footy at 6

All good mate, Okunbor on the pine to cover

 

[Flanagun]

I've been saying Burton should be halfback since we signed him. Hopefully Oloapu is a late change for Flanagan. It would make sense with Burton at halfback.

Thankfully Okunbur is off the wing too. At least Ciraldo recognised what he did wrong and changed it quickly. Hopefully Skelton isn't far off..

How would that make sense if KO has been playing halfback in Cup? All he's doing is causing confusion. These selections remind me of Barrett. make wild changes and hope something sticks lol

 

[trent_solotar7]

swap burns for skelton and flange for KO

Here’s hoping at least..

To be fair, he could be playing qld origin tactics. Oloapu and Skelton slipping in towards the last day won’t give Sharks much time to prepare against them.

 

[Punchbowl Dog]

Burton played 7 when Cleary was out

 

[tyl0r]

Same team named this week with some changes closer to game day to keep the media pressure off the players debuting. KO and Skelton in... At least I hope this happens

 

[amapusae]

This might be low key genius , give Burton no other choice but to get involved

 

[Gene Krupa]

Im not commenting anything about Averillo....

But you did.

 

[Flanagun]

Who mentioned demoted??

I assumed that's what you were implying when you called me out despite Flano still being in the team.

 

[CQDog]

Burton played 7 when Cleary was out

Tyrone May did

 

[NPC83]

Oloapu has been playing 7 in reserves

I know mate I watch reggies but he also plays wide of the ruck at times like a running 6 and you’ll notice in a lot of his highlights he played 6. Maybe CC wants him there. Time will tell.

 

[Eesma]

Wouldn't be shocked to see Flanno dropped for KO last minute. KO might have been playing at 7 in NSW Cup but, if we're going to debut him in an understrength squad, might as well be in his favoured position. The week Flanno does get dropped, he'll be listed in the Tuesday announcement regardless, so the media don't have an entire week to run snippets of widdle baby crying.

 

[Cosmo24]

We’re getting pumped anyway.
40-4.

At least the disappointment has set in early this week.

Would’ve liked to have seen Skelton and Oloapu.
Maybe against the dragons next week would be a fairer matchup

 

[Flanagun]

Burton played 7 when Cleary was out

Only because he wouldn't fit into Luai's jersey. Luai still did all the organising and ran the team.

 

[Eesma]

Wtf two centers that are injured!!
I thought Davey was out..

Davey had a finger injury. They'll likely just tape him up and give him injections.
