Some big key players out. Let’s hope some of the scans are good news. Can’t have King, Preston, Kikau, Mann, Edward’s, Morrin, Patolo out at once. That’s a lot of forwards out.
Feel like we can cover Taafe and Tracey out better than we can cover our forwards…
Skelton might be needed on bench for his size lol
Positive was Hughes spent big minutes on the field today

I read a broken hand is usually 3-4 weeks recovery

https://x.com/nrlphysio/status/1658331524306198528?s=46

4-6 depending on break, surgery required and ofcourse age.

Broken my hand twice.. same one... same place.. took forever to heal.

Not even funny if it's a joke

Fuck no

But, who will cut the oranges

 

[Psycho Doggie]

I'm getting on the bandwagon for giving Papalii a debut

1 - Joash
2 - Wilson
3 - Kiraz
4 - Critta
5 - JAC

Reserve - Xerri.

This keeps our 2 to 5 pretty consistent, as these blokes have all played at least 2 games this season in those spots. Joash is a straight swap for Taaffe, and he brings a bit of the unknown for a game in Melbourne in which no one will give us a chance. No pressure on the kid, he gets next week, maybe 1 more game depending on how Taaffe goes with the concussion, then back to reggies to work on what he has learned.

Xerri didn't have a fantastic game, his defence was clunky, he ran less metres than the rest of the backs. Don't mind him being ready to come in if Wilson gets another virus or Fox isn't quite right, but he isn't really there yet.

 

[Doggfather]

Is it starting to make sense to everyone while we signed so many utilities?

The Roorters also came out of this game with huge amount of injuries and suspensions.

We should celebrate the win and the toughness. That was a Bulldogs performance.

I should add, if Tracy turns out to not have an injury that forces him out, put him in FB. Joash can wait a little longer for his first taste of FG.

I wouldn't mind seeing:

01. Blake Wilson
02. Jeral Skelton
03. Jacob Kiraz
04. Stephen Crichton
05. Josh Addo-Carr
06. Matt Burton
07. Toby Sexton
08. Max King
09. Reed Mahoney
10. Poasa Faamausili
11. Viliame Kikau
12. Kitione Kautoga
13. Josh Curran

14. Bailey Hayward
15. Jaeman Salmon
16. Samuel Hughes
17. Chris Patolo

18. Joash Papali'i

 

[King Gus]

It was 13 V 13. Everyone needs to shut the fuck up. They had Atkins in that 2nd half squaring the ledger for them.

Yep 13 vs 13 and we lead 18-0

 

[Kempsey Dog]

What concerned me was the tries we conceded. There were two occasions where he didn’t wrap up the ball, the Tupou one, and the young forward who scored. He was pathetic in defence.

Preston being out and not defending on that edge is a massive loss

Was patolo injured? Didn’t seem to do much or play much.

That's CC coaching. Whoever starts at prop next to King seems to hardly get any minutes.

Xerri looked dangerous in attack in the first half. I honestly think he’s unlucky Critta is there, otherwise I’d have him in the team. I am starting to think he’s got a bit more than Kiraz, and out of all our backline I’d shift addo Carr out. Kiraz and Wilson on the wings, xerri and Critta centres

I was very anti taafe but today proved he is absolutely lethal in attack

 

[a dogs life]

I think it might go

1. Critta
2. Wilson
3. Kiraz
4. Xerri
5. Addo Carr

Critta in the front line in defence is a must, more likely:

Wilson
Kiraz
Critta
Xerri
JAC

 

[bcmf]

Btw if anyone watched the presser afterwards I got the impression the only reason why Connor didn’t get shifted to fullback was cause of his calf

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Could be
1. Papa
2. Skelton
3. Critta
4. Xerri
5.kiraz
Pending Wilson and fox’s fitness

Would love to see Papi get a run
