Not sure who your ‘someone’ is but if he was relying on the missed/ ineffective tackle count then he has no idea. One of the basics of CC’s defence strategy is for Mahoney (middle), Hutch (right) and Salmon (left) to be up in the face of the attacker ASAP. While CC would obviously prefer an...

As I wrote in another thread, the last try against the knights was a direct result of our half being rested. For 70 minutes there had not been a single break down our right side then Taffe came on and over read the play. Best strolls through a yarning gap to score.

Absolute disgrace and shows just how many supporters have no Rugby League IQ. They only had to wait 10 minutes to see how Hutch’s absence affected our right defence. Not one line break down that side for 70 minutes. Hutch off, Taffe over reads the play and Best strolls over for an embarrassing...

Grade 1, $750

Is Kiks eligible for SOO? If so why is he not in the conversation as one of the first selected?

That's the 5. Just swap around: 1. Wilson 2. Fox 3. Critta 4. Xerri 5. Kiraz Better balance. Critta in front line for defence. Wilson came to us as a FB/Wing.

Looking at possible team selections for this next Round I found it interesting that we have already used 24 players in FG so far this season. With Suluka-Fifita, Oloapu and Sutton long term injuries and Topine also unavailable we have only had 32 players to select from and we have already used...

South’s NSW Cup hooker last year

Buzz????

If Hutch is dropped for Sexton!!! Roosters by 200+

So many kennelers who know more about selecting a bulldogs team than CC - just like Buzz NRL has two components, attack and DEFENCE. Many great coaches believe wins are on the back of great defence. Defence this year is so much better than last year with Hutch in place of speed bump Secton.

Now that’s exactly what I took out of it too. Great (team) work in attack from Hutch.

Herd mentality Everyone thinks that know more than the coach and can do a better job than the coach. lol

The NRL hasn’t taken long to put us back in our place. CC says he is having to bite his tongue about the quality of refereeing so they give us the very ref who made the decision of No Try to Kikau from the bunker - Todd Smith. Not too subtle ‘Back in your box Bulldogs. We run the league and you...

I don’t like the rule but Yeo was DOWNTOWN Doesn’t matter if you interfere or not. Different rules for certain teams.

Fox mentioned at the start of the game that Crichton was playing only the first twenty just to have a hit out. Don’t know about Hughes.

Did not consider Tracey or Kiraz. Pretty sure they won’t be brought in for R1 with no prior game time. And, if C is consistent and dropped Knight completely from his Trial 2 team for his poor handling and performance in Trial 1 then Taffe must also be dropped for his equally poor performance...

1 Wilson - his natural position 2 JAC 3 Crichton 4 Burton 5 Xerri 6 Hutch 7 Sexton 8 King 9 Mahoney 10 Farmersilly 11 Kiks 12 Preston 13 Salmon 14 Mann 15 Curran 16 Hughes 17 Kautoga Mann and Salmon can help cover the backs, back row and hooker. 8, 10, 11 and 13 - 17 can all help cover the...

1. Taaffe 2. Xerri 3. Crichton 4. Burton 5. Fox 6. Sexton 7. Hutcho 8. King 9. Mahoney 10. Hughes 11. Kikau 12. Preston 13. Curran ———— 14. Knight 15. Faamausili 16. Mann 17. Salmon We will need at least two big bodies on the bench and I reckon Knight will come good after his shocker last...

3 Poasa 2 Salmon 1 Hutch Did not consider any player from the second half. They all played fantastic but so they should because the opposition was far too weak, certainly not worthy opponents.

Yes, I was about to type the same thing. 04 you were supposed to be Polly Waffle when you responded. You are making it very difficult for us to keep up with your trolling.

Speaks really well. Very positive. Did not shy away from the question mark around our FR but gave a great, supportive answer. He is obviously loving being a Bulldog.

That’s my understanding. Rorters have until tomorrow to make a counter offer. Of course, that does not necessarily mean May will accept our offer. He could wait to see if any other club makes an offer before the end of this season.

Does that mean Rorters have 7 days to put in a counter offer? So, by next Wednesday?

Currently on 51% of the IOWA vote. Even if Democrats and Republicans are roughly 50/50 overall that makes Trump 51% if 50% = generous 26%. Hardly a large percentage of Americans!!!

I wasn't aware that Kiks, Kiraz and Fox were injured. What are their injuries?

That’s a lot not actually getting their balls busted. I think Sutton is still on light duties too. I hope we are not allowing a soft c*ck mentality to creep in like last year.

Yes, I am a big supporter of Gus but I do think CC would be well advised to ensure he has KPIs that acknowledge that he has been given a FR which, while of first grade standard, is not up to Finals standard. There should be an expectation of improvement but not an expectation of reaching the...

Is there no one at training this morning?

Any feedback or photos/videos from the session today???? Thanks

Wonder if we ever had a conversation with Eddie Blacker. Always looked a class above in NSW Cup. 116 kg.

Ok, I’ll ask. Who is this?

With the new season fast approaching two questions still to be considered: With 10 new recruits will Mahoney and Burton keep their NRL Captaincy? Who will replace RFM as Club Captain?

Please explain

Yeah, that’s the backline I have landed on too. I can see Xerri forcing his way onto RW fairly early in the season. Xerri/Crichton right side will be dynamic. Absolute respect for Kiraz but Xerri a bigger, faster body.

And… Sexton, Preston, Xerri, Kiraz on the right edge with Tracey lurking in behind tbh that right edge is going to be dangerous AF

Poasa Faamausili has ran over a 100m once so far in his NRL career That’s one of the reasons he is not in the Top 30.

nrl.com showing 25 Bulldogs signings for 2024, including Pele, Topine and RFM. Pretty sure Pele is off to Super League, so 24 confirmed. Hutchinson, Mann, Turpin and SST not included in that list. So, if they are all signed then maybe only as few as two spots left to fill if no one else is...

McLean staying at Cowboys

22 nil what teamwork Go the pups

So seven of the seventeen selected for this week's game are not currently signed for next year. Might have been an idea to use the last few games to start including some of those players who will be with us next year and let those of the seven we will not be keeping see out the year in reggies...

With our current injuries that’s the exact 8 to 17 I would select (no Okunbor). JAC and Kiraz going down certainly exposes the complete lack of depth we have in the backs. I am not convinced we have 7 First Grade quality backs available for selection within the club. Your 1 to 7 is arguably as...

3 Waddel 2 Burton 1 Davey - Finally a forward who can read the play, especially in defence. And he has a bit of size. Needs to get way more minutes.

Davey played left second rower for Manly last year. Proven in the position. Like for like. Leave Preston on the right to continue developing.

Yes, Hazelton seems the only prop we might have a chance to pick up at the moment.

Not sure why Kurt Falls is not signed to any club for 2023. Falls finished the 2022 season as the top point scorer in the NSW Cup, and also a premiership winner in the same competition. Proven performer in NSW Cup. Easily a better option than ‘Gun..

Averillo has to stay at centre if he is going to be there come the start of the season. Rajab to FB. Anyone but not Oky to wing.

Ken Wilson owns a piece of history that can never be equaled. Ken kicked the field goal in the one and only FG RL game with a 1-0 final score. There was a period when field goals were worth one point. Vale Ken Wilson.

What’s happening? School holidays?

Pretty sure he played 1/2 coming through the ranks. Then put on some muscle and was moved to second row. Definite prospect for 14 or CC and Gus might even be thinking 7!

Burton’s first involvement at 16 minutes 53 seconds!!!

Anyone know what’s happened to Corey Allan? He is not selected in NRL or NSW Cup again this week.

Pretty sure Lumee is not in the top 30. With Allan and Alamoti out, the wingers and centres available are JAC, Avo (if Wakeham at 1/2), Burns, Naden, OK and Schoupp. Maybe JAC and Naden left and Burns Schoupp right

Given Averillo, Flanagan and Wakeham have proven beyond doubt that they are not up to FG standard at HB, I reckon Baz has two choices. Find a solution from within the squad or go out and buy a HB. From within the squad a possible solution could be Cook DH, JMK HB and BBO 14. I was impressed...

Thanks, all good

Hi team, I have used 2 different email addresses and hit resend a number of times over the past few days but have not received anything back. I have checked in spam etc. Thanks
