Official CHN "The Bulldogs are heading in the right direction"

[Gubanaculum]

Dont forget holland was a fullback now trying to learn how to defend in the centres, not easy to do ...

 

[Kempsey Dog]

His attack was far more that "solid" while his defence was no worse than others that were previously in the same position.

Holland is fine given our current position, im happy to have him for now, just need to recruit another good centre until Harper is ready... Cotric would be the dream.

Wasn't there a stat that Holland had the most offloads or line break assists of any centre in the comp in 2018?

 

[flamebouyant]

I am relaxed always. He wasn’t the only problem with our defence.. others were responsible as well.... going after an up and coming superstar is fine I like what we have so far...

Like Morgan Harper?

 

[Grunthos]

Holland was causing so many problems for the defence once he got a run. Breaking tackles, offloading, running great lines, etc. Typical Kennel when some people can't admit to that, bloke was arguably our biggest attacking spark last season.

100% on the money!

Per game average.

The big question with Holland is will he bring that late year form into this season and own the position? He has earned the chance to start the year at centre weather he keeps it is another question and up to him.

He was a completely different player towards the end and when you think about it the whole team was different I’m tending to lean towards the inclusion of Lachie and his enthusiasm that was brought to the team and it rubbed off on the others. Holland showed skills I never thought he had some off his off loading was terrific.

 

[Dognacious]

Hoppa is a classy player
Holland is someone trying to become a solid first grader.inunderstand he is prob the best we have at the moment but I hope the club haven't given up on a good mid season signing or have eyes on a young good prospect.

Do we get more cap to spend mid season?

 

[Bull Terrier]

He and Smith also combined well so that't another positive. If they aren't playing side by side this season then I honestly give up, we haven't had a decent centre/wing combo in years

Who would you pick for our other side.?

 

[silva]

Agreed left centre is a worry. Hoppas no good at centre. Id like to see some young guys tried there in the trials and whoever stands up get the nod

 

[Phalangist]

Players swap around and re shuffle mid season every bloody year..

You been hiding under a rock ?

Remember Lichaa's end of year form in 2017? He then went back to old ways the year after.

It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds!

I do not see us trying. We have backs "with potential" coming out the wazoo.

That's a worry with all of our players, pressure free footy is much easier to perform under. Holland did demonstrate physical dominance over his opposition so that's a good sign moving forward imo.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Dunno. Guess Hoppa will be there because there's no one else with the last wing spot going to whoever performs best during pre season.

Here’s the thing, you consider trying to avoid the wooden spoon to have been no pressure. Many would not agree with you, particularly those invokved. Plus pretty much every player was doing their utmost to avoid being cut. Or at the very least dropping down the pecking order.

There is always pressure in FG.

Are you serious??? FMD Holland at best is a solid squad player yes he’s the best we have but that’s stating the obvious- wouldn’t make top 25 anywhere else.

Are YOU serious, there are at least 6 or 7 far worse fullbacks in the NRL.
