Bulldogs coach Dean Pay drops four players, recalls Rhyse Martin

Desperate Canterbury coach Dean Pay will wield the axe in an attempt to kickstart his side’s season.

The Daily Telegraph understands Pay is set to make at least four changes for Sunday’s crucial clash against the Wests Tigers:

-Rhyse Martin has been recalled into the starting side
-Christian Crichton and Marcelo Montoya have been dropped
-Nick Meaney will make his club debut
-Danny Fualalo has been dropped

Martin was demoted to NSW Cup to start the season but his omission for two consecutive weeks raised some eyebrows.

Dean Pay is fighting to keep his job and needs results fast.

But two ordinary performances to start the season has forced Pay’s hand. Martin will return on an edge in place of Raymond Faitala-Mariner who has been dropped to the reserves.

Nick Meaney will make his Bulldogs debut at fullback with Will Hopoate shifting to centre at the expense of Marcelo Montoya who has also been dropped.

Winger Jayden Okunbor is in line to make his NRL debut. He is expected to replace new recruit Christian Crichton on the left edge.

Forward Ofahiki Ogden will be promoted into the top 17 from Canterbury Cup and replace Danny Fualalo on the bench.

Jeremy Marshall-King will retain his starting spot at hooker ahead of Michael Lichaa, who will again start on the bench.

I agree with most changes, but i think Mariner to reserves is wrong, bench yes.
As for Crichton to Okunbur XD haha like for like replacement there, arguably Jayden is worse.

But sue and elliot survive? Lol

But sue and elliot survive? Lol

Thought sue would be tapped too

 

[cookieman909]

I’m happy with that. The boys coming in need to fire. I’d be swapping Jacko and Holland back to the right side.

Would anyone even publicly admit to that?

I think Okonbur could be like Smith and really lift once he hits NRL.

 

[Horse]

Fuck not sure about the RFM dropping. Sue should go before him.

 

[CaptainJackson]

I'd rather rfm and fualalo on the bench than sue and elliot.

Rfm is an impact player!!!! That's it! Not an 80 minute player

I'd have fualalo over sue

 

[KLil]

But sue and elliot survive? Lol

Does Pay seriously think Mariner wouldn't add more impact off the bench than Sue??

Does Pay think Elliot is a better lock than Jacko?

Does Pay think CHN isn't good enough for an edge but good enough for the bench??

This guys off his head.

...now this is proactive, I like it a lot!

 

[Howard Moon]

Okunbor could be a real weapon if he can get the dumb errors out of his game. Meaney needs to pull his finger out and get his hands dirty. Ogden will be better for his FG experience last year, and Martin is a no brainer..

I think Okonbur could be like Smith and really lift once he hits NRL.

He really needs to learn to respect the pill to make it. Loses it to easily in tackles.

 

[doggieaaron]

ray should be on the bench with elliott/ogden/danny f why the fuck is lichha still there

 

[Spoonman84]

He really needs to learn to respect the pill to make it. Loses it to easily in tackles.

No doubt he has some rough edges to smooth out. I gotta admit I have a soft spot for Jayden and hope he kills it.

 

[Mr Invisible]

I really hope "Understands" turns out to be wrong else we are about to cop a hiding.

RFM is just returning from injury and apart from the intercept pass was forming something good with Foran.
Elliott and Jackson done fuck all this year (Jackson only just back from injury too).
Sue surely only survives because he plays his previous club!
CHN has done fuck all.

1. Hoppa at centre was a disaster last year, yet we fall back into that old trap.
2. Ogden, Martin AND Chris Smith deserve to be there. Fuck that dumb **** Lichaa off and pop C Smith on the bench.
3. Crichton and Montoya for Meaney and Okunbor.. LOL oh fuck me... except a cricket score.
4. Danny F wasn't the worst forward out there, and should move to lock imho.

Pay must have money on Tigers 60+, because that's what we are going to cop.

This guys off his head.

Mariner not dropped isn’t he just put back to bench

We need jj at lock ffs

Elliot is too bloody small for the middle. Put him on the edge or not at all.

Nope hes dropped
