Official Bulldogs vs Raiders Pre-season Challenge - Team List and Game Discussion Thread.

[MitchNewton]

They don’t even know their own player names smh. It’s Bailey Hayward not Heywood ffs.

Also, no Brandon Clarke? Guessing he’s injured along with Casey, Burton and TPJ? No Kikau is slightly disappointing. Oloapu seems to be non-existent too. As is the crap bulldogs website player profile pages. Players and/or their photos missing… Honestly, it’s the easiest job in the world doing those web pages!

Brandon Clarke not rated and will start season in flegg.

I think Preston will be ahead of Davey.

Correct and RFM will play lock not second row

If he is not rated why did they put him straight into top30?
They have massive wraps on but he is young and no need to rush him

He will play both.

 

[dogsballs]

Why do Dragons get to play St Helens, while Penrith play Parra?

Tune up game for the world challenge Panther V St Helen

Why do Dragons get to play St Helens, while Penrith play Parra?

Penrith play St Helens the following week for the Challenge cup.
I suppose its a warm up game plus there is 17 teams we needed a team to fill the gap.

 

[finchie]

14 out of the 17 available team spots have been selected
Offcourse barring injuries and suspensions

I like jake and alamotti in the centres

I don't.

Surely CC isn’t going to start burns at fullback. Give pappali or rajab first crack at it if haze isn’t available

Whilst I agree he isn't flash(and slow hence my burnt comment)he is very experienced, the kids you mention are too green at this stage imo.
Wilson will likely get a run there I reckon, he is reportedly JAC level fast or near to it.

blake wilson is another one. Rajab is not a fullback so I wouldn't bother playing him there. I know he's played there but he's really a half.

From the article: "The Bulldogs tackle Parramatta at Moruya in the NRL Pre-Season Challenge on Sunday.
Raiders recruit and hard-running prop Ryan Sutton will tackle his former club in the trial".

So the Dogs play against the Eels, and Sutton plays the Raiders.

Brandon Clarke not rated and will start season in flegg.

I thought he will turn 22 this year - would he still be eligible for Flegg?

The journos are being trialled as well.
