Our attack should be much better today with that spine and DWZ on the wing

The Pay/Lewis lovers no doubt will be hoping Wakeham fails

Pay has actually gone with a good line up. Reimis & DWZ in the centres is purely because of defense.

Holland on the bench is a strange one. It's probably as good of a team we can pick with the roster we have.

The reserve grade standard players are dropped
- Lewis ✅
- Meaney ✅

Smith is a horrible defender in the centres while DWZ is playing on the wing.

Exactly.

It's as clear as day that the club saw the hooker position as one that needed to be upgraded on. We went after a multitude of potential targets striking out on each one. OK. So be it.

But we eventually settled for Katoa who's an actual hooker. It's his position. And for some reason he hasn't even been on the bench yet. But JMK plus Holland, two players whose natural positions AREN'T hooker, keep playing in front of him? Baffling to me.

You lot can carry on as much as you like about Lewis. I personally am more puzzled by Katoa as we're absolutely screaming out for a semi-decent hooker but continually overlook the guy. At least give him some time off the bench to show us what he has? #payout
No one here expects Katoa to be a starter or star but it’s clear as day JMK cannot play 80 mins. He has issues with concentration levels due to fatigue and he tends to go missing for ages. As you said, to sign a specialist hooker and not to consider him..

I would have thought Cogger would be given a go at 14. He is a natural half and they tend to transition to good hookers . At least give him some minutes there to see.

Decent passer . Decent kicking game

That’s 2 up on JMK

Bulldogz82... mate please stop wasting your time looking at Cheatulla forums and go ring your mate to find out why our hearts were all broken after you posted the below.

Article is definitely true, I have a family friend who is extremely close with Josh ado carr, and managed to find out this info, i was told this 2 weeks ago and Tbh I didn't believe it at first but was told it would be in the media soon, still didnt believe it lol but info was right it seems like, by it coming out in the media.
If deal is made it will definitely be for 2021, storm will release him of his final year.
I don't know the offer they made to him or anything like that but there talks with bellamy have begun from few weeks back.
Really hope this works out he would make us a finals team instantly
It was the best 13 hrs of the year until Craig squashed it like fly at the pressor..:sob::sob:

Definitely need more from JMK in attack, what happened to his little squirts out of dummy half?
Having Wakeham should stir things up a bit.
Do we have any set plays?
If we wanna have any impact on 2020 gotta pip this lot.

Dont be fuckin silly, all Dog fans want their team to win. If they dont then they are not Dog fans. Although same should apply to anyone that death rode us when Lewis was playing...

Finally wakeham gets a start with an experienced half. It’s should let him now play his own game. Good win from the dogs today!

Id much rather dwz on wing where he had a blinder but of course pay moves him
I don’t get the obsession with playing wingers as centres. Reimis and DWZ are 2 great wingers, and the whole backline is worsened in 4 positions when they play at centre.

Totally agree but once again pay has no awareness as a coach
