Wakeham being able use both sides of the ruck and be the dominant half looks great. He looks so much more comfortable in that role.

Very good effort first half.. time for the front office to back the team up off the field and secure some good signings..

This is one of those games where we look committed and rip in, thankfully Wakeham applied the finesse to get some points on the board.

Need some more x-factor around the ruck it's still very noticeable, we look clueless with JMK he stops and doesn't know where to pass

if bulldogs players stopped playing to look at an advertisement on the scoreboard we would be ripped to shreds and mocked

How about this young kid we have coming through called Brandon Wakeham... you heard of him?
Needs to be dropped ASAP. Prince of Belmore needs to be back. Struggling without him :p

but I said it last week. He is a 21 year old and it was his 7th first grade game last week. Give the kid 30 games before passing judgment. The smaller players need time to learn how to adapt their game in nrl. I’m sure wakeman will have plenty more shockers in top grade. But if he learns and betters himself he will develop into a very good, smart and intuitive half. Something Lewis has failed to develop in 2 years+. But Lewis will speak to the media like he is a 3 time dally m winner. The flop.

JMK has actually been terrific.

Probably his best 40 in a blue and white jumper

Great half by Wakeham. Hopefully he builds upon this in the second half. Lewis lovers went really quiet in that half.
I’ve heard about those creatures I thought they were mythical
