Kurt Mann out for rest of season.

That sucks. He really was an integral part of the team. He is actually a decent distributor and defender. We look a lot better with him vs Hayward or salmon

I just rewatched the second half of the round 12 game against the Dargs for anyone interested.. I remember Salmon had a game and a half but it wasnt that one yet he still had a very good game at lock. One thing you notice is we weren't stuck playing side to side, rather picked the moments when to... Made a HUGE difference to our attack.

Honestly as classy as Mann is, big loss, I think Salmon and Hayward can do a more than competent job if they play their best footy.

Gonna miss his Zero fcuk given defence though.
 
Team CC will pick for the finals if everyone else is fit:

01. Connor Tracey
02. Jacob Kiraz
03. Bronson Xerri
04. Stephen Crichton
05. Josh Addo-Carr
06. Matt Burton
07. Toby Sexton
08. Max King
09. Reed Mahoney
10. Samuel Hughes
11. Viliame Kikau
12. Jacob Preston
13. Jaeman Salmon


14. Bailey Hayward
15. Kurtis Morrin
16. Harry Hayes
17. Josh Curran
 
Question is who takes his spot?

I say "spot" and not "place" out of respect for his hard work. Don't think we can replace him, we can just fill his spot.
 
Poor Bugger. That's just not fair.

He's been awesome this year and given so much.

If they are going to pick John West, I prefer he starts for 20 and then bring Curran on for the rest of the game.
 
I prefer Hayward to start at Lock instead of CC's favorite son Salmon so slow motion style of play I've seen so far
 
Preston will need to do 80mins.
, Salmon to dominate the middle. The report is he needs 6 weeks
 
Huge loss he has been great for us but we have some capable replacements

Harry Potter Hayes. He showed a bit of magic yesterday just when we needed it.
 
Hope the news isn't as bad as reported. I don't think he's integral to us winning. But he's played in beast mode all year and deserves to be there at the business end.
 
I thought it was strange that the official Bulldogs page posted a photo of Mann.l after the game.

What you will notice is his arm isn’t in a sling which is normally what happens for broken collarbones to limit movement.

maybe smoke and mirrors

Bloody shame for him. Disappointed to say the least but think we can reasonably cover his loss. Won't be the same but not a major drop off
