I keep on reading about the rebuilding business, I think some of us have lost faith in the Bulldogs spirit thanks to Has-been,
I believe coached properly we still have the team to win yes to win the premiership 2018 taking into consideration players play in their right positions and to the utmost of their ability.
This would be my team and why:
1 MBYE...has the credentials to become a great fullback without the organizing pressures
2 B. MORRIS...fit he can still be a strike force
3 HOPOATE...his running and passing ability would be tremendous
4 J. MORRIS...he might have lost some speed, out wide his defense absolutely essential
5 MONTOYA...needless to say he is our brightest young back
6 BROWN...he looks the goods in attack and defense
7 FORAN...organizing half he is know, it's wrong to risk his fragile body as a hard running five-eight
8 TOLMAN...a full 80 minutes player if needed, keep away from the ball on the 4th tackle
9 LICHAA...will be a better player if allowed to play his natural game, he'll rise or fall by his action
10 KLEMMER...he is a prop the coach should help him recapture his great ability to offload
11 JACKSON C...captain Jackson say no more
12 ELLIOTT...great prospect needs to work on his mistakes rate
13 WOODS...at lock he will have the freedom to roam can be devastating on the edges
14 FUALALO...no nonsense go forward prop
15 TUALAU...can be a devastating runner and hits hard front on
16 FAITALA-MARINER...nonstop action needs to fine tune his game
17 WOOLFORD...very talented time for him to rise
18 TO'OMAGA...has the potential to be similar to Taumalolo
19 EASTWOOD...if we keep him he needs to prove himself in reserves.
I am sure other players with potential would rise to the challenge under the new coach
Your thoughts...?
