Losing Preston has exposed a serious lack of forward depth.
This will be the biggest test so far of Gus's 'cultural change'.

Almost certain the 1-17 will change before kick off.

It is a little surprising, I didn't see the NSW cup game,maybe he had a shocker
yea me neither, knew he played though, assumed after 1 week he would be back since he was the one bending the line

Id have rathered a bigger body hit up type prop but I guess we went the ball playing middle. Fingers crossed he has a big game and no errors. Roosters are a ruthless team, doubt its close if we played like we did against souths with penalties and drop balls.

Hayward, Sexton and Xerri named in NSW Cup while Patolo, Faamausili not named.
Looking at the Bulldogs side - and comparing that with the opposition - surely bringing in one of these bigger guys is a serious option?

Having all three of Curran, Mann and Salmon just seems to be too light against a side like the Roosters.

Only Way we win is if we stop their backline like Penrith did plain and simple. We allow their backline to rip us apart then definitely be a thrashing. Hence why I hope Xerri comes in cause we need someone of his body to stop their backline. Bench rotation has to be another strong point as Conor Watson will damage coming into the game when he gets on.
Xerri is getting exposed in NSW Cup

He isnt first grade standard

Hate to say it but I reckon this is going to blow out... Souths have been putrid yet found a few holes in our defence.. the pack will be tired of working hard for turnovers
