[Mr Beast]

[CaptainJackson]

That surely has to be the end of lewis

 

[UmoGus]

[Bulldog_4_Life]

1. Hopoate
2. DWZ
3. Meaney
4. Harper
5. Smith
6. Averillo
7. Wakeham

This needs to happen next week

 

[Bluebody]

Lewis looked depressed when he got hooked the more the 2nd have progressed - why? because he was watching a turn in momentum with Wakeham in control without him. Lewis now realises his skills are too low to be a 6 or a 7. I would find a position for him, but where? He does have a lot to offer, just not for organisation.

 

[XR6T]

Reimis should never be considered as a centre...he is an out and out winger, nothing else!!

 

[Kempsey Dog]

1. Meaney
2. DWZ

4. Hopoate
5. Smith
6. Averillo
7. Wakeham

Should be what we go with next week, I get that Hoppa would be good with this spine aswell, but to get Remis out of centre we can't afford to shift Will imo.

 

[Interestingg]

Averillos movement reminds me of Tedesco as a youngster he needs to be a permanent spine member

 

[BMOC]

Reimis is garbage at centre.

 

[Cook]

Is it just me or was game better with no crowd. I mean players weren’t carrying on, refs didn’t over play there hand. Still good contact etc and I thought footy was fine.

 

[Alexander the Great]

You gotta feel for LL. Being pushed into a position that is not fit for you.
I don't like the fact he was hooked.

Bulk him up play him as a lock. His defence is nuts and his pace is suited for the role.

 

[TalDog]

Averillo came on and was relatively fresh for 25 minutes, still want to see how he goes playing 80 minutes. The kick for the try was good though, promising, and something we are missing. We didn't get to see him do anything like that in the trials, but if he can pull off kicks like that several times a game he could be worth sticking with.

The thing that pleases me the most was he took control could see him barking orders everyone sparked but fmd did we drop some ball that will be pays excuse

62%

62%? - felt like 38%

 

[BulldogsNRL]

We scored 3 tries so yea that’s good we need our defence and ball handling and discipline fixed though

 

[maroondog72]

[dog 4life]

Oh i forgot about that what was i thinking lol

But hold on...he kicked a 40/20 and scored a try!

 

[Bluebody]

Christian Crichton man of the match just for the try

he had a great game - looked dangerous every ball - made good ground - he plays with good aggression
