Hope not, Ogden I want too see more of before Thompson comes in.

Tolman for Cogger instead.

Don't see the need for Cogger on the bench.

Tolman for Britt for me. Napa to the bench

Don't see the need for Cogger on the bench.

I thought Ogden had been pretty underwhelming in his limited minutes this year so I agree it would be nice to see more of him and see if he improves with more game time.

Pay loves a utility so I can’t see him dropping Cogger for Tolman.

Is it a rule only players named on Tuesday can play this round... so no Thompson as he isn’t in the 21 named today?

Yep. Can only use the 21 named

You can get a special exemption to change players after Tuesday but it rarely happens. If he’s not in the 21 now it’s safe to say he won’t be playing on Sunday.

Thompson is doing weights in his Melbourne hotel still and not eligible for selection

 

[surfdog]

Smith lucky to be even on the wing, he has been terrible

 

[bowleggedwog]

This is probably our strongest back line . Now get the balance right in the forwards. Tolman is walk up , Thompson will be on the bench with RT, Sue and a utility. I think it's time for katoa or cogger to play nine with king on the bench. Also we need to blood a edge back rower this year. Jackson isn't keeping up. He is a middle but so is Mariner and Elliot.
We need a kikau, aubuuson, Bateman.

2 Smith
3 Averillo
4 Lewis..............better defender
5 DWZ
6 Wakeham........plays off Foran
7 Foran..............cotrolls the game better
8 Tolman.............named means he could play
9 Cogger............he is a liability in defence but could spark our attack
10 To'omaga.......will get us on the front foot early
11 Jackson
12 RFM
13 Elliott

14 JMK
15 Napa............rag doll but can be effective off the bench
16 Sue
17 Ogden

I’d like to see Doorey get a run before the season is out. He’s a strong ball runner with a bit of mongrel about him.

 

[flamebouyant]

I reckon Meaney will play on the wing and push Reimis to centre and Holland to the bench instead of Cogger.

I hope not though I like the balance of the back line and bench.

Yeah I'm pretty happy with that team lis to be honest. Holland actually had some good toitches the other night, and He looked likely to make something happen. Even better to see Reimis back where he belongs, especially outside of Holland.

 

[DoggyStyla]

Guess Pay has finally been reading the Kennel. Remis in the wing

Holland gives another option in kicks too. Fuck I hope Cogger stars at hooker. We need a game controlling Hooker, can pass, can kick and can bring in another option in attack. Kick some 40/20s from dummy half Cogger.

 

[DoggyStyla]

Bulldogs: Kerrod Holland replaces the suspended Christian Crichton in the backline and Jack Cogger joins the interchange. Nick Meaney has recovered from his hip flexor strain and could be a late inclusion, along with Aiden Tolman. Fuck I hope it isn’t true. We need Remis in the wing

I reckon he was (once again) told to put Smith back on the wing.

 

[flamebouyant]

He has almost got the perfect squad if he only moves Katoa in

I think cogger will be good for a short stint off the bench. But if we started with Katoa and got rid of JMK that would be even better.

 

[flamebouyant]

Two weeks quarantine and possibly (probably) one week training with the team. I'm not sure when he arrived in Melbourne/started quarantine.

It will be two weeks come Sunday.

Worth a go instead of Ogden. 10 to 15mins for a young kid is better than what Ogden offers off the bench.

 

[2144superman]

Cogger should be given a run in the 9 jersey. He has the kicking and passing game for it and being a 7 you'd think he would be able to see opportunities as they present themselves for the ball to be run with.
