News Best 17 for 2022: Canterbury Bulldogs

[CrittaMagic69]

How about we wait for trials to make that call huh... Assuming there will be some bolters.

0 bolters imo.

 

[From the area]

Doesn’t that mean he was above average

Always a Bulldog

Touché but still below NRL standard

 

[PaulS]

Issac Lumelume will make his way into wing during season....

 

[Cook]

Not a fan of Lumelume. Okunbor I like, yet let’s me down with he’s aggression levels. Especially in defence. How would Burns go on the wing??

Okunbor is a bloke that doesn't know how to play wing and looks totally useless a times yet somehow still manages to rack up 200m+, multiple line breaks, multiple offloads and score tries lol.

Yeah but how many does he let in?

A lot, calling him an arm grabber would be generous. Burns is SLOOOOOOOOOW, not a winger. I still think Naden on the wing is the best option.

Naden would be depth then. Or Burton, he’s played a bit of Center

 

[Aristidiz]

Side is looking good, but we stilk have a gapping whole at hooker which will hold us back all year. Still will be far more watchable than last year.

 

[rwalker999]

Agree. Averillo will step up and go to another level this year. Will be one of our best.

I'm not too sure. He looked pretty ordinary at times last year and while most of our guys did, I don't think Averillo will cement a position. Don't get me wrong I would love him to. I think he needs to work on a number of things and not just rely on a piece of individual brilliance every 3 or 4 games. He's got a lot of talent but I would just like to see more of it consistently. Perhaps our new cattle will help him along.

 

[KLil]

0 bolters imo.

Yeah most probz.. Though I reckon Schoupp's position might be up for grabs and the bench ain't sorted yet apart from Stimo.

Still never know what might happen come trials espescially if there are injuries.

 

[Isaac]

Averillo will be in the centres. Wakeham and BBO fighting for halfback spot

 

[From the area]

I think so too

 

[CMP]

They lost me when they said Averillo had an excellent kicking game and then doubled down and had Corey Waddell in the second row.

 

[Ewan McGrady]

Unless there are injuries, Naden won’t start.

 

[Roger the alien]

Averillo will be in the centres. Wakeham and BBO fighting for halfback spot

I reckon Averillo will start the year at 7 but finish the year in the centres with BBO at half.

 

[Donkey Slayer]

Averillo and Okunbor will have break out seasons...

I like doorey also shame his injury was looking good end of the season also
