Round 4 Bulldogs V Souths - Team Lists and Discussion Thread

[Scoooby]

Carve up ahead.!!

60 plus mins of Katoa is going to be painful I guess Topine could play a bit there but you'd assume Katoa would play the bulk of the game.

We mustn't have been able to get a exemption for Dietz.

Left edge of Waddell, Lewis, Hoppa & Allan....

Absolutely no speed, agility or lateral movement whatsoever.

Alex Johnston - Hatrick
Mitchell - Hatrick
Gagai - x 2
Walker x 2

Must have got an exemption for Topine then because he’s a development player

Round 4 Team News: Lewis to partner Flanagan in Good Friday clash

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have named Lachlan Lewis to start in the halves for Good Friday's clash with South Sydney at Stadium Australia (4:00PM AEDT).
Lewis has been rewarded after a strong performance in last week's Mounties victory over Canberra.
With the Bulldogs having eight players out through suspension or injury, the team has been selected from a group of 21 available players.

Suspensions to Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Luke Thompson and Josh Jackson, in addition to injuries to Ray Faitala-Mariner (12-16 weeks), Jeremy Marshall-King (6-8 weeks), Jayden Okunbor (16 weeks), Christian Crichton (season ending), Ava Seumanufagai (3 weeks) and Jake Averillo (ankle) have created selection headaches for Trent Barrett, although Averillo has been named in the extended squad.

The team changes from last week's match against Brisbane have seen :
- Lewis come into the halves for Averillo for his first NRL match of the season
- Nick Meaney swap places with Corey Allan to start at full back with Allan on the wing
- Sione Katoa come into the starting side as hooker for the injured Marshall-King
- Renouf Atoni move from the bench to replace the suspended Josh Jackson
- Development squad utility Jackson Topine and Dean Britt both named on an extended bench with a final decision on the starting 17 to be made on Thursday.

I get changing things but why has he fired Averillo into the sun instead of putting him at centre?

 

[Spoonman84]

Must have got an exemption for Topine then because he’s a development player

Yeah true. Interesting that they went Topine over Dietz

 

[Spoonman84]

It said he had a ankle injury in the blurb but he’s still on the extended bench so who knows what’s going on.

Says he has an ankle injury

 

[Howie B]

I love the fact that another big name signing for fullback has been punted to the wing.. already.

Nick Meaney would win Survivor.

Yep so we have got DWZ and Allan on "fullback" money and they both play on the wing.

Give me strength ffs

 

[CBDoggies]

One of the biggest worries is katoa playing the full 80! This team after 20min is going to get smashed we just won’t keep up and the score line will blow out by the 80th minute mark my words

 

[TABOO]

HELP.

 

[Jarrad El Hickey]

Well everyone who was whinging wanting to see him swing the axe hope you’re happy let’s see how this goes lol

 

[BULLDVGS]

Yeah true. Interesting that they went Topine over Dietz

more utility value id assume

 

[707_2Belmore]

Katoa to play 80mins at hooker? Yikes

Yuk!!!

 

[Spoonman84]

Yeah that's true personally I'd rather have the option of hooking Katoa over utility value.

Topine has only played a game at hooker.

 

[Oldpanther]

It said he had a ankle injury in the blurb but he’s still on the extended bench so who knows what’s going on.

Says he has an ankle injury

Well that sucks. Dropping Hoppa for him would've been a big improvement.

 

[dogwhisperer]

Katoa to play 80mins at hooker? Yikes

Nah, I think that's what Topine is there for mate

 

[Spoonman84]

Well that sucks. Dropping Hoppa for him would've been a big improvement.

I think we need more than dropping Hoppa to improve that team it's a dogs breakfast.
