Dene Halatau gone for 8 weeks..

as per Bulldogs injury report on website

 

[nassman]

We really didn't need that

 

[doggieaaron]

As bad as this is it's a great opportunity for josh Jackson

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

back 2nd week of the finals, he is going to try and be back either round 26 or 1st week of the finals, can't really rush those sort of injuries though.

 

[ByRd]

It is a big loss, he hits the ball and holes at pace and does a lot of work in defense especially helping Reynolds out

 

[OTTO]

Sh!t news

Could agree more, however we will miss his line running and his defense on the right side.

 

[Karat]

So, who do we drop when Halatau comes back....or do we drop anyone?

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

HE needs to be there surely. Eastwood to the bench possibly Stagg drops off? Not sure hard question mate. Need to keep Jackson in there I think.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Payne I reckon might drop off, or (as much as I doubt it), Stagg.

Surely Payne is the man to go. He's getting the lowest minutes of all the forwards. It's harsh on him, as he's been decent all year but he's had less impact than Halatau, Stagg or Jackson.

 

[Dogzkill4eva]

when is he due back anyways?

Steve Turner made a comment on twitter last night that suggested Halatau could be back in a couple of weeks

 

[cookieman909]

Spoke to him at the members post game function. Said he'll be back in 3-4 weeks. Once he cones back I hope this is what our pack will look like.

8. Tolman
9. Ennis
10. Kasiano
11. Pritchard
12. Halatau
13. Eastwood

14. Graham
15. Finucane
16. Jackson
17. Stagg

Just like Cookieman said, you would think Hala will stroll back into the starting line-up with Jackson dropping back.

Coming off injury he'll play reduced minutes off the bench surely.

Can't belive he is injured i hope he is back in the Finals!!
