News Brandon Wakeham left out of bubble

[FZ1-S]

Aren't teams taking upto 40 players? I feel like you would take every fit player possible.

It's not 40 players, its 40 people which includes staff.

Brandon wakeham has been left out of the squad that travelled to Gold Coast. Has he fallen out of favour?

Good,
The guy is absolute rubbish.
Not NRL standard
Can't create,
Can't tackle
Can't kick,
Offeres nothing at all.

Wakeham is not a first grader of any standard

but he is an international half!

NRL 2021: The Bulldogs have left Brandon Wakeham, one of the members of the club’s “Bondi five”, in Sydney and out of the club’s biosecurity bubble which relocated to Queensland after handing down further penalties to the players who disobeyed the NRL’s COVID-19 protocols.
Wakeham, who was a starting half before the incident, has spectacularly fallen out of favour and didn’t even travel with the squad to their Gold Coast hub on Wednesday.
It was just a day after he fronted the club’s board for attending an eastern suburbs pub which was later deemed a COVID-19 exposure site.
The NRL had put players on notice earlier in that week about attending public venues. It has called into question whether the Fijian international will play any further part in the Bulldogs’ season, leaving Jake Averillo, Lachlan Lewis and Kyle Flanagan to carry the playmaking burden.
Coach Trent Barrett also has rookie Bailey Biondi-Odo in his squad as part of the halves depth. Wakeham would be required to complete a separate two weeks quarantine away from the squad and unable to play during that time if he was to travel to Queensland later this year. Wakeham joined Dylan Napa – who is fighting to save his NRL career – Aaron Schoupp, Corey Waddell and Sione Katoa in being hit with undisclosed monetary penalties after marathon disciplinary hearings.
The quintet were subject to an internal investigation, which alleged they visited several nightspots after going to the Royal Hotel at Bondi on the night of their loss against the Eels last month. The NRL had warned all clubs to ensure their players and officials avoided the Waverley area at the time, which spawned Sydney’s growing COVID-19 outbreak.

Happy to have BBO replace Wakeham in the squad.

I'm a Wakeham fan and thought he was starting to play well, think some of the comments here are a bit rough, certainly a better prospect than Flanagan, thinking there must be a little more to this story.

Lewis gets all the hate but he offers more than flanno and wakham
Defence is better.
Kicking game is better.
Effort is better.
Enthusiasm is better
Attitude is better.

All 3 are shit, and our results will not improve with any of them
But Lewis still offers more.

Is 30 players even enough?

We don’t even have 30 players on the roster

We don’t even have 30 players on the roster

I think we're using our 35th player this season.

Barrett trying to shift Wakeham. He is surplus to our requirements.
