[Match thread] Bulldogs 30 def Sharks 18

6. Jack cogger
7. Brandon Wakeham

 

[Kempsey Dog]

The side is far better with Wakeham at halfback, absolute joke if he doesn't start the season there.

Odo still pretty raw and has errors in him. Gotta be Cogger and Wakeham pairing, don't care who's in what jersey aslong as Lewis isn't there

 

[Howard Moon]

That effect is further increased as Lewis is off and not stifling everyone from first receiver

for sure.. It's clear that Brandon knows how to control a game.. has a much better kicking game than the other two and we actually look as though we can produce results, be it drop outs or tries when he is out there. Thought Katoa looked good as well and had a hand in a few tries

 

[Dognacious]

Some good signs for the attack, and we are better with DWZ in. Just a trial sure, but good to see us move the ball around, have a bit of pace and there was some good stepping done.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Nice break from Katoa but bindi spills it.

Lacking that maturity

 

[BulldogsNRL]

DWZ just scored in all stars

 

[Spoonman84]

No injuries, blew out the rust and some promising signs in the second half. The rest was pretty uninspiring. Renouf was the most impressive played the full 80 and got stronger as the game went on. Averillo isn’t a winger that’s for sure looked so much better at fullback.

Yep for sure, yeah Katoa surprised me a little bit, few dummies and kicks here and there. Not sure about him starting yet but happy for him to hang around as interchange option

 

[Grunthos]

The difference between lewis and Wakeham is like chalk and cheese!

 

[KiwiDog7]

Toomaga saved Pay blushes.

Wakeham has to be our starting 7

We scored more points with our Cup team and Wakeham running the show!

 

[Squash the Berries!]

It's clear as day that we look much more like a football team when Wakeham is on the field

Game changed when he came on it seemed but I had plenty of freezing.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Nice pass from Wakeham to Smith there to put him on the outside of his man.

That's something Lewis just doesn't have and never will, he just can't linkup with his players. Wakeham on the other hand can spot the opportunity, know where to run and when and how to release the ball to get his teammates in as best a position as possible.

I thought he looks like a real hooker. Thought he went well. Maybe him and JMK rotate this year?

 

[KiwiDog7]

Averillo played well too

 

[Kempsey Dog]

6. Jack cogger
7. Brandon Wakeham

Been advocating this pairing for months now just the other way around... They are clearly our best 2 options

Yes 100%

Wakeham is just a genuine playmaking instinctive halfback
Lewis is not

Lewis is just a defender and that let him down today

 

[diddly]

Wakeham Toomaga Harper were good - cant see how they can be left out of the round one team. Smith back to wing.

 

[Squash the Berries!]

Any thoughts on Okunbor saw one break?

 

[DoggyStyla]

Katie should be in the discussion

Katoa
