    OFFICIAL | PRE-GAME ROUND 2 | Bulldogs vs Sharks | Discussion thread 6pm Friday @ Pointsbet Stadium

    We chew too much juice early in the piece with errors and unfortunately the ‘rub of the green’ is never our way. played a man down for the whole match. We were beaten in the middle due to a lot of defence early. We are really in need of a ‘metre eater’ prop to lead our sets.

    OFFICIAL | GAME DAY ROUND 2 TRIAL | Bulldogs vs Sharks | Discussion thread (8pm @ BSG)

    Don’t like the fact that the halves get the ball off Salmon on a short side as it ‘cramps’ the centres and wingers. A lot of times Crichton and Xerri were getting the ball within 5m of the sideline. Would rather have Salmon on the open and have Taffe running as an inside option off the edge...

    Salmon looked ok in the middle with the shifts. Don’t like Mahoney at first receiver when we are in opposition 20. Taffe went well, the flegg boys def have some talent.

    Hope he plays well and of course no injuries. If playing 5/8 opens up opportunities to enhance his ball playing that would be great, even if he doesn’t play fullback. Means he is a capable fill in. His goal kicking is very good so we will have options next year. I do believe that Sexton and...
