News Bulldogs set to swing surprise for Round 9 with halves change

[djdeep4172]

A teenage sensation and young playmaker prodigy Karl Oloapu is set to make his NRL debut this week, pushing Kyle Flanagan out of the Bulldogs first-grade team.

As revealed by The Daily Telegraph, Flanagan is on the verge of being dropped as coach Cameron Ciraldo braces to make a huge decision regarding the club's future.

The decision comes only one week after Ciraldo shifted Flanagan to the No.6 jersey, allowing Matt Burton to start as the team's halfback.

Recently named in the U18s Queensland Emerging Origin squad, Karl Oloapu entered the Bulldogs after they paid $500,000 to the Brisbane Broncos for his signing.

Ciraldo could also call upon Fa'amanu Brown or Josh Reynolds for Flanagan's spot in the team. Recovering earlier than expected from injury, Brown will be available for selection and has previously played in the halves along with the dummy half and lock positions.

The other choice is Josh Reynolds. Reynolds has been used as a utility off the bench in recent times. However, there are doubts about if he can play the entirety of the match.

Don't think it'll be Brown, he seemed like a pretty vital piece to the original middle rotation plans.

 

[shannon2009]

I think Reynolds will start and after the other teams forwards start to tire ko will come in

 

[eman & the Utai SLAM]

I’m happy for KO and happier for my supercoach team!

 

[M4cca]

Brown back on the bench would be a nice inclusion. Thought he was very good in the role before injury

When this team list finally drops I want to see everyone @Flanagun to the quota of 20 min. pages.

Now that's a Swoosh, baby!

 

[hackenbush]

Brown is not the answer & 6 or 7. He is a steady backup player that been to a few clubs. If the Dogs are going to change Flannagun, it needs to be an experience half or blood a young potential with the adherent risks.

Brown back on the bench would be a nice inclusion. Thought he was very good in the role before injury

Agreed. Should also spell Mahoney for 10-15.

Brown can still cover that middle role allowing Mahoney to come back for a forward.

 

[amapusae]

Can’t wait for the kennel to turn on him after 1 bad game

 

[Disposable Hero]

Can’t wait for the kennel to turn on him after 1 bad game

Hmm I thibk the excitement of @Flanaguns dropping will get him 2 maybe 3 games reprieve. After that the Bipolar fucks will be calling for @ Flanagun to be recalled

Can’t wait for the kennel to turn on him after 1 bad game

How about someone ban him for 24 hours

 

[belmore_utd]

How about someone ban him for 24 hours

After every gameday

 

[John Matrix]

How about someone ban him for 24 hours

blocking his crap works just as good

 

[Flanagun]

When this team list finally drops I want to see everyone @Flanagun to the quota of 20 min. pages.

Stating the obvious IMO it's a flick of a coin
If CC is truly convinced with Burton at 7 it would mean 6 Reynolds 14 Oloapu.
If not it could be 6 Burton 7 Oloapu 14 Reynolds / Brown.
Oloapu should be introduced very cautiously !
Most importantly there will be No more Flopagain

 

[hayes]

Reynolds name at 6 KO extended bench
