Official Round 17 - Dogs vs Knights - Consolidated Match Thread

Okunbor and Hopoate to passive, no aggression. I'd rather them be partnered with Holland or Reimis, or even Montoya. Probably Okunbor and Holland to even out the height with Hopoate and Reimis.

Doesn't Okunbor have the most line breaks in the team? with how many games.

 

[speedy2460]

Not sold on Too'maga. He is capable, but he is lazy in defence and his positional play is suspect.

 

[Scoooby]

Interesting too see how our 6 and 7 go if nothing else..!!

 

[B-Train]

Thankfully Renouf finally made it. Now let's see of he gets more than 17 minutes.

I'm glad to see Wakeham start too. I'll be keen to see how he fares in a full game although Newcastle are a solid defensive side.

I don't know how Smith and Montoya are still in FG and Meaney shouldn't be on the wing.

 

[AlzzBulldog]

Honest question, how do I get a job like Adam Elliot and Chris Smith, turn up and do fuck all huh?

 

[Trafford10]

Big if true.

Dean's lost his play book. I will run naked down Bourke st if we score 3 tries or more.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Or Pay is a soft cock and drops him for JMK before kick off

This is the most likely scenario because Pay likes carrying a utility especially if that utility is one of his favourites

And if Renouf does finally play it will be what you said 10 junk minutes ( or less) then he will try to hard and make an error

Then get banished to reserve grade for another 12 months

Have no talent on the actual field but train hard and you’ll get a start off Pay.

Knee pads and lipstick....

Maybe I'm the only one but I thought Hopoate outplayed JMozz on the day, which was further confirmed when I watched the replay. That's in aggression as well, both in defence and attack.

Go Dogs

1 game doesn't really matter to me. Throughout the season him and Okunbor have been too passive. The amount of times this season I've seen Hopoate in space and just take the tackle without passing the ball is insane. I'd just rather someone more aggressive to not be a passenger and do something about it and scream for the ball. I just don't see the body language of both of them currently being a good thing for the balance of the team. It's just a small thing, just having the right players on the field would be a good start.

 

[Scorpio]

Wow Chris Smith starting again...........

Line breaks don't equal aggression.

 

[ElMagicElMasri]

Line breaks don't equal aggression.

Yeah I’d much rather a player with “aGgReSsIOn” than actual line breaks lol

 

[Jackson_1994]

I would have had RFM in there for either Chris Smith or Adam Elliott. happy to see Wakeman there again I would still like to see Harper in for Montoya and someone in for meanay as he isn't a winger and happy to see Renouf finally get a call up

 

[KiwiDog7]

Yeah I’d much rather a player with “aGgReSsIOn” than actual line breaks lol

I mean you didn’t realise you can be passive and soft and still make line breaks?

Ask Cam Smith he will tell you Okunbor is a big softy

 

[haz123]

Don't know maybe check with D Pay, he gets away with it.

 

[AlzzBulldog]

Lol at how rfm can't make the side hah fuck pay

 

[BELMORE]

Lol at how rfm can't make the side hah fuck pay

RFM is shit

 

[liljohny]

Harper must be getting close to a call up.

Wouldn't be surprised if JMK or Nu Brown will be included on the bench

 

[Bob dog]

If Napa doesn't back up who will replace him?

Mariner has gotta get a go he's not that shit.
Still a positive line up that should have a bit of heart.
