2013 NRL Bulldogs Squad

[B4L]

Mybe and Carter have been promoted to the FG squad , so i am pretty sure it will be more then 25:

I also heard that another back will be added eaither John Sila/ Ed Murphy and I personally think Klemmer should be in there it will give him a confidence boost.

I agree with all of the above, but I think Hodkinson may be on very thin ice. If he has a run of injuries next year it will be bye, bye Hodko.

Trex shouldn't start and finucane is a must there is no need for the slash maybe tapau in for hala

T-Rex was in Des's starting line up at Manly and he will be in it here.

 

[Alan79]

I'm not too sure about a lot of our younger guys. I haven't seen many in action so i'll go with those i've seen. and leave some slots vacant.

1. Barba
2. Perret or Turner Both prefer the same wing, maybe thy could switch sides in the trials to decide who goes to which side.
3. Morris
4. Inu
5. Perret or Turner
6. Reynolds
7. Keating or Hodkinson I'm still not sold on Keatings ability to mount pressure when we get within 20 metres, repeat sets don't seem to be in the game plan. Keating earned the right to start this year but if Hodko can keep the side more organised and help mount pressure i'd start with him.
8. Tolman
9. Ennis
10. Kasiano
11. Pritchard
12. Williams I'm torn about how i would use him he'd be handy coming on after 15 to 20 minutes but he's also someone that would get our edges looking dangerous from the start so he gets the run on position in my list.
13. Eastwood

14. Gavet (Graham when he returns)
15. Payne
16. Halatau
17. Jackson/Finucane

18. Jackson/Finucane
19. Keating/Hodkinson
20. Romelo
21. Graham (will step straight back into his bench role when he's served his suspension)
22. Lafai
23. Taupau


I think we'll be looking at something like a squad of 27 or 28 if we're adding some of the youngsters to that mix. It makes us look safe for depth but most of our second tier forwards are close to rookies or long serving NSW cup players with occasional NRL stints. Our backs are in a similar position with quality from 1 to 5 but mostly players with limited experience beyond the top 5. At this stage we really have only three tested halves options. In summary we've got a strong NRL side but our depth will need to lift to push for opportunities in the NRL side.

 

[bulldogs2010]

Same team as this year except Tony Williams to the bench, Corey Payne to NSW Cup and Hodkinson to halfback.

I have nothing against Keating but he showed what we lacked in the Grand Final: a genuine halfback and Hodko is the closest we have to that. Hodko also has vision, the ability to throw cut out passes and put players into holes; something Keating can't do. Just my opinion

 

[Big_Dawg]

T-Rex was in Des's starting line up at Manly and he will be in it here.

But him and frank starting? They are both left side second rowers and you need to have contrasting players starting i.e. jackson

[Qld-Dog]

GET CLEMMER INTO FIRST GRADE A.S.A.P. or we will lose him!!!

 

[Big_Dawg]

For what purpose it's stupid

 

[Bob dog]

Turner straight back in, also should resume kicking duties over Inu.
Lafai will be flat out trying to get the 4 jersey back.

 

[Guardog]

I kind of agree here. Perrett has a better game than Turner and has the ability to do something special (like he did in the test match.

Turner as 18th man?
