Canterbury Bulldogs Team 2023 - Bulldogs Best 17

[Vlasnik]

This Canterbury Bulldogs Team will look very different in 2023 with a couple of huge signings joining the Bulldogs, how will their 17 look though? Matty and the Guru take a deep dive into the many ways that this team could line up, the Bulldogs are desperate for a big bounce back in 2023. With the team the Bulldogs have on paper, they should be breaking a few teams hearts.

Flanno is now the clear bottleneck in this team. Best ROI will come from moving him on and getting a better HB until a great one is developed or becomes available (not many available, but need some magic). This is 100% the best case scenario next move for the dogs if it can be done - hence the spotlight on Flanno. He should do a Jacko and retire or go to England. No player is bigger than the club - give him his money and let him run the water otherwise. Don't think it's fair that this blooming teams growth is restricted by Flanno's development. Frustrating and boring, dogs need to be ruthless to be the best.

Kiraz is NOT a fullback ffs. WOW HE SCORED A TRY AND HAD A TRY ASSIST AGAINST JOSH RALPH AND WALES. START HIM AT FULLBACK OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT A FULLBACK PROSPECT.

Patolo absolutely does not deserve a spot in the 17 unless he plays really well in NSW Cup.

Averillo isn't either though?

 

[D0GMATIC]

I love a good premature teamjaculation . . . I've got the Oks as right wing . . . Swallow that

Daine Laurie is though.

14. Brown / Reynolds
15. Thompson (better off the bench)
16. Sutton
17. Davey / Waddell

18. Skelton
19. Pele

* Topine @ 13 because it allows TPJ to still play middles, but move Thompson to the bench where he is more effective ATM. Plus it also allows us to keep Pele and Patalo in NSW cup for a while longer.

I hope Rajab does a bit of work at fullback in pre season. From the glimpses I’ve seen of him he’s a #6 but could be a surprise packet at #1
