Aaron Schoupp on how Matt Burton, Josh Addo Carr have Belmore ‘buzzing’

[Freakzilla]

I doubt it, that left edge will be pulled apart over the season imo.

Why?

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Hope you’re wrong. Naden hasn’t done anything to have the left centre spot sewn up. I’d prefer to see him on the right wing

He hasn't, but Baz wants him there and that's that.

 

[Roger the alien]

Question for the people who think Naden will permanently stay at centre ... what do we do if Schoupp and Alamoti are both firing ? Or do you just accept we lose one of them ?

 

[Big Vibe]

Fuck Baz. Couldn’t pick his nose based on last years team selections. Hopefully Gus has some sense and comes over the top.

 

[Baby Blues]

While ever he's on our books, I'd say so.

Why hasn’t Uncle Wayne swooped in already and taken him off our hands for 2023?
I don’t ever see him bring a productive starter for us unfortunately

Agreed mate, it was a very bad signing, and I fear we'll be stuck with him for another 2 years.
But here's hoping uncle Wayne gets desperate.

Why?

Naden is a better centre than winger and we currently have a gaping hole on the right wing, defensively Naden has also been extremely poor when defending at centre compared to the wing. TPJ is also extremely poor defending on an edge and is a better middle than edge forward.

Offensively I also see some issues, they're all obviously our better strike players but I'm not sure how complimentary of each other they will be. JAC could potentially be starved of quality ball with Naden and TPJ inside him overplaying there hand, is TPJ going to run the lines Burton needs him to? I could be wrong and they combine well, I just have my doubts and think there's a better combinations we could try that would be more complimentary and give us a more balanced side.

Chopping and changing all season long is not the answer. No matter where they play they're going to need time to gel.

Did you forget who our coach is? Lol. He has history doing this. Baz has picked the team he wants in round 1, it might not be the best team and if results don't come he will hit the panic button and changes will come.

At least he ain't Hasler though who has the team list ready for weeks 1-25 already.

I want both Schoupp and Alamoti in the centres in the future. A lot of this depends on when Alamoti's ready. There's a good chance we're not going to rush Alamoti. I'd just move Naden onto the wing (Schoupp and Alamoti strictly centres). Naden's just a shoe in to start in the centres this year. We also know Naden's rocks and diamonds. I still think Naden will be a good signing.

 

[Scoooby]

This waiting is bullshit, round 1 kick off can’t come soon enough.!!!

 

[craigo]

He also played left centre at Panthers, scored most his tries from grubbers there.

Unless burton brings the grubber game to the bulldogs that scenario won’t happen with us. Hasn’t been a grubber since noddy played

Not regularly. Ennis put a few in after he signed with the Sharks seems ngly as a "fuck you Des" and the half we signed from Newcastle with Meany (who's name I can't recall right now) put a few in as well.

 

[Bob dog]

I would put Naden on the right flank to help Okunbor in defense..

Jack Cogger?

I love when shit gets posted twice

That would be scary.

I' m hoping Gus will help with these types of situations.

A little input here and there.

Baz would be stupid not to listen.
