Opinion Injury replacements

[wendog33]

Yes resting dodgy injured players probably in the best long term interests of the club.

Very hard to beat Storm in Melbourne but Knights much better chance of 2 pts before the bye.

Coates would give him heaps of trouble imo. If he is to play it has to be left edge up against Warbrick, with Crichton helping him.

Jeral could run over the top of Coates tho

Idk but he’s from where I’m from (Tamworth) so he must be a goer

I'm not too far away from you (Armidale). So it'd be nice to cheer on someone from the region. Hopefully it's the first of many green shoots from the area.

300 metres from Skelton.. That's insane. He's a FG player. I'd love to see him get a run somehow and would hate to see him thrive at another club.

I've got a feeling he'll be used as a leverage for a swap with a prop should he not cement a first grade spot otherwise he'll be replacing JAC if he's disinterested..just my opinion.

Yeah I think bulldogs now have links with farrer high. Couple other players from farrer were Tom learoyd lahrs and Alan tongue.

Who is actually unavailable for next week?

At this stage I think it’s Preston Morrin king Mann taffee, edwards. Still waiting on news from Tracey patolo and Kikau

100% he leaves and kills it at another club. We are too dumb to see his potential. The guy breaks tackles/lines for fun. Who cares about possible defensive issues, did you not see how bad Dom Young was?

Ive already accepted hes leaving us. Makes it easier when if does lol.

 

[The DoggFather]

Defensively he's not a first grader yet. Hopefully he continues to improve defensively so he can make big metres and defend.

Do you watch all his games, or just follow what some people think about his defence?

 

[The DoggFather]

He's off contract this year, so if we don't give him a chance soon he will leave for an opportunity elsewhere

He will leave us and kill it, then everyone will whinge and won't talk about his "defense"...

It's definitely not his attack holding him back

He won't miss a tackle where he goes either

I'd like to see examples of his "bad defense"... then compare him to other wingers.

I'm begining to think it's a myth that some dickhead started and others just parrot.

Is it because he came from rugby they think he can't defend?

Thats why i said "possible" cause i havent seen anything glaring either. Its just coaches picking favourites. Maybe he has a bad attitude? Though unlikely looks like a gentle giant.

All we have from the assistant and Gus is that he is one of their "projects", whatever that means...

Skelton looks like a backrower to me. Too slow for the wing

 

[The DoggFather]

I'm not saying he is next Jonah Lomu, but imagine him on the end of a left side backline play....

 

[dawso047]

For those talking up Papali'i and Todd both can't play NRL until round 11 or so. Wouldn't debut Papali'i against Melbourne or anyone else quite yet. As for Todd not until King, Hughes, Curran, Morrin, Preston, Kikau, Mann, Patolo are all fit. Later maybe
8. King
9. Mahoney
10. Hughes
11. Kikau
12. Preston
13. Curran
14. Mann
15. Morrin/Salmon
16. Todd
17. Fifita/Sutton/Patolo

He could be our perfect bench player. Can cover wing, 2nd row, prop and centre if needed, especially since we lose a player or two every game

Don’t need to be overly fast where you’re that strong. Look at To’o
