Taaffe or wilson

OK wow we have some options. I actually think Taaffe and Wilson as great young talents and I am glad we have them as options. They are young enough to develop into great top grade players but skilled enough to play some top grade when needed. I like Wilson from what I seen last year. He seemed to not only be elusive but strong and fast. Once he gets confidence could make a great fullback. Taaffe could be fullback or half.

The thing I like is that we are seeing more our our own young players in the mix with the likes of Kiraz, Wilson, Skelton and last year with Alamoti and Averillo and we have some more coming through. In the past we were pinning our hopes on other team development players like Allen, Cotric, Naden and to less extent Burns as I thought he was OK. But we now have a line of great backs coming through who are developed by us as Bulldogs and we will not need to depend on buying other teams players.

There is so many options which is a good thing.

More options than a Datsun 180B.

First name picked should be Skelton.

We have a powderpuff forward pack and desperately need a strong winger to give us some sort of chance to compete. Fox, Kiraz and Wilson are all good wingers but our middles suck ass. They need all the help they can get at the start of our sets. Otherwise it’s just rinse and repeat from the last 3 years when we get stuck on our line.

Of course he will concede tries with bad reads in defence. But who gives a fuck ??

At least he will charge over some pricks and entertain us.

And also Xerri at 5/8th is the dumbest idea I have heard since Lewis at lock.

Or Trump as PM

I hope Skelton kills it in the trials and gets the nod for round 1, Xerri will most likely start the year in cup.

Skelton missed opportunities to play FG this year through injury and suspension unfortunately ,it's gonna be even harder to make the backline next year.

If we are going to succeed this year we need the other way round dude

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Find the team that will beat Parra Rd 1, that is all that matters.

In the mean time you can sulk about all the hurt feelings on the Kennel.

I doubt we will succeed in 2024. We'll improve!

Who knows until next year?

Go the dogs!

Just had a look at the stats and he started 2 games.

Made 180m and 190m. Also both times over 70 post contact metres . To be fair we played 2 shit teams in his appearances.

Penrith and Brisbane.

Not saying he is a superstar but when we have below average middles I think he should play. Even in front of Kiraz

He was unlucky.So much competition next year in the backs, I bet they are training the house down

Kiraz was pumping out big numbers before he got injured earlier in the season. Averaged 205m and 62pcm pre injury.

We're all hoping that Xerri will earn his place in the side and dominate when he does however I'm fairly confident he'll start in cup so if it's a choice between Skelton and Wilson for round 1 I'm all in on Skelton.

Skelton cant even play centre in reserve grade so unless he improves 10 fold he wont be there

Fair enough, I personally think we'd be a more dangerous with Skelton in the side over the other options but everyone's entitled to their opinion.

until we see Skelton at centre in reserve grade I don't think we're going to see him play there in 1st grade unless we have mass injuries.
