Team after the bye

[Wally D]

Heres a left of field one.
Lewis in the centres inside Montya tighten up defence on that side of the field.
Hoppa in the centres inside Smith (or even swap the two around and put Hoppa on wing).

1. DWZ
2. Montoya
3. Hoppa (inside Smith)
4. Lewis (inside Montoya)
5. Smith
6. Wakeham (Foran will surely be out)
7. Cogger
8. Tolman
9. Lichaa
10. Ogden
11. Jackson
12. CHN (but needs to improve on defence - 27 tackles 9 missed today!)
13. RFM

14. Elliott
15. Napa
16. To'omaga
17. Sue


Source?

That line up makes good sense. The pairing of Montoya and Meany is an open turnstill. It is the blind leading the blind on that wing.

If Foran is not out, I would put Wakeham on the bench.

Only problem with the bench you have suggested is that there needs to be a utility there.

 

[Spoonman84]

Okunbor injured his foot again,could need surgery

You’re on the money mate! He’s back in the moonboot.

 

[DoggyStyla]

1. DWZ
2. Meaney
3. Lewis
4. Hoppa
5. Smith
6. Foran
7. Cogger
8. Tolman
9. Brown
10. Nappa
11. RFM
12. CHN
13. Jackson

14. Wakem
15. Ogden
16. Sue
17. ToOmaga

This is what I would go with..

 

[bradyk]

Full strength imo - not including players off contract/probably moving on after this season

1. Meaney
2. Okunbor - Montoya if injured
3. Reimis Smith
4. Hopoate
5. DWZ
6. Lewis - Cogger if injured
7. Foran
8. Tolman
9. JMK
10. Ogden
11. Jackson
12. Harawira-Naera
13. Elliott

14. Holland
15. Sue
16. Napa
17. Chris Smith

Faitala-Mariner needs to be turned into a prop. Stimson coming next season which might finally push Jackson to lock and Elliott to the bench over C. Smith. I'd drop Napa for Toomaga, Chris Smith or another prop, but he's on to much $.

 

[repolski]

You picked Montoya. Cannot take you seriously.

 

[TABOO]

Why are many calling for Cogger to be replaced?
I thought he played quite well yesterday, especially with debutant in Wakeham there next to him.
His kicking game for the most was good.

 

[Delta]

1. DWZ
2. Okunbor
3. Holland (good attack, we struggle to score points especially if no foran)
4. Hopoate
5. Reimis Smith
6. Cogger/Foran (if not injured)
7. Lachlan Lewis
8. Tolman
9. Lichaa/JMK (difficult choice after sharks game)
10. Ogden
11. RFM
12. CHN
13. Jackson
14. Napa
15. Sue
16. Fualalo
17. Kalache (is very good)

 

[Merimbula Man]

Why all the love for Lewis, Cogger, Wakeham and Foran (on one leg) are all better options

 

[TwinTurbo]

7. Lachlan Lewis

Injured, won't be back for a couple more weeks.

2. Okunbor

May have re-injured his ankle, or was wearing the moon boot after the game simply as a precaution.

7. Lachlan Lewis

Injured, won't be back for a couple more weeks.

9. JMK

Injured, won't be back for a couple more weeks.

More importantly why change a winning combination, it's not like the options are demonstrably better (as their previous chances have proven).


Go Dogs

 

[Mr Invisible]

Lewis is due back possibly after the bye (Rd 17).

Holland should be back as well.

 

[Big M]

Okunbor broken toe,Ayoub will tell him when he is to return,JMK back next game maybe in CC.Holland same.

 

[Trafford10]

When will we find out about Foran?

 

[Trafford10]

also anyone keeping an eye on big poppy's post contact members? Not doing much what's up with him is he still injured or something?

 

[Moey]

Cogger shits all over Lewis...

 

[pugsley]

Why are many calling for Cogger to be replaced?
I thought he played quite well yesterday, especially with debutant in Wakeham there next to him.
His kicking game for the most was good.

Maybe
11 games
2 tries
1 Try assist (kick)
0 Line break assists

He’s been going ok
What other half in the competition has stats like this

 

[doggieaaron]

Cogger shits all over Lewis...

Ill admit cogger had his best game yesterday but at times he is absolute garbage he needs to be more consistent

 

[KLil]

Meaney and Wakeham to reserves.

Montoya move to wing for Harper debut at centre or Crighton to come in on wing and Montoya stays at centre.

Lewis to come in on bench at utility.

 

[bradyk]

Lewis makes more mistakes then Cogger, which I guess from your halfback you don't want, but in a team that doesn't score many points I'd rather have someone who chances their hand a bit more. I think Lewis has more potential, whereas Cogger's going to be average at best. More of an eye test for me and not so much statistics, I could be completely wrong. Good chance neither of them are going to be the 13 in 2021, but if I'd have to pick 1 to try make that their position in the meantime it'd be Lewis. Foran's injury record will mean they both get to play regardless I guess.

 

[aymz maz]

We didn’t get an update on foz today and the extent of his injury so far ?

 

[BulldogsNRL]

Maybe
11 games

1 Try assist (kick)
0 Line break assists

He’s been going ok
What other half in the competition has stats like this

Lewis has 3 try assists and 7 linebreak assists
