Bulldogs vs cows match thread

[wendog33]

I'd go the same but have Avo at 7 and grub on the bench but only get him on if we have a decent lead late in the game.

As well as

Sutton to bench.
RFM to 10.
Topine to lock.

Sutton is soft AF and maybe a bench prop at best. Another waste of cap space.

Toss up on Sutton or RFM. Ray seems to fatigue more tho but isn't as ill disciplined with penalties ...6 of 1 etc

Going to be another tough game,but cotter and nanni and drinkwater are big outs so I think we will compete, but a win is unlikely.

I'd say a win is most likely than ever with those outs

 

[finchie]

Cowboys outs:

tualagi
Drinkwater
Cotter
Nanai
Leiluai
Dunn

Nasheed is just that confident of a win this week

 

[Haza]

If Ciraldo wants to be taken seriously as a coach then Flanagan can't be picked and Okunbor should never be on the bench.

I thought okunbor did well off the bench playing in the middle.

Thats that street Maths yo,gotta count them rocks and make sure that dealer aint tripping.......word

 

[CQDog]

Averillo will bounce back. He definitely let Ciraldo down yesterday and I feel like the players really care for him.

 

[BulldogsNation]

Averillo is a defensive liability

Worrying a little about Ciraldo's judgments now:

1. He claimed Okunbar was outstanding. I'm in fucking shock. He isn't even a forward. He would not even make the Tigers team
2. He still persists with only 2 actual forwards on the bench (I don't count Nu Brown hes a utility at best). We have fucking Morrin, Billy The Greek yeah not outstanding forwards but they're FUCKING FORWARDS to use... injuries are no excuse just poor selections
3. Averillo's so called potential to be world class at centre. He was developing into a nice fullback andhe can pass a ball. Pernham is a ball runner but can't pass. Averillo can't defend.

just a big lol

you been "kicking it" with Nash-weed?!?!?

The Okunbor experiment has to end.

Why? Ciraldo was raving about him in the presser on Sunday. Thought he played well.

With #1, yeah it's a bit over the top calling him outstanding, but I did see some good signs there to be honest. I kept an eye on him at the game, and there was energy, size and speed added to the middle when he came on. Defensivly he was solid too.

#2, I don't get our bench or forward rotations at all. Mahoney and Kikau are dead come the 60min mark every game, because every play revolves around them and there's no one else picking up their weight. We have a Halfback and 5/8 that don't get involved and a Fullback that can't pass. Add to that a depleted front row, and it's beyond a joke having:

- A Prop on the bench not getting game time
- A Hooker playing in the middle as a Lock/Half
- A Backrower that offers nothing week in and out
- A Reserve Grade Winger getting more time in the middle than the actual Prop we have on the bench.

#3, this one still baffles me. I have my issues with Averillo, but we could all admit we saw enough the back end of last year that it was worth giving him a full pre-season at Fullback. Instead, we bring in a Reserve greader to fill the role and send Averillo back to a position he's been tried and failed before and knowing full-well the man can't tackle.

Karl O at 7 for me, Grub has had his day, he was average yesterday in Reggies. I like Topine, but the 14 is a problem. What about the young Fijian we just signed from the Tigers? may as well throw him in
