Pre Game Thread, Trial 1: Bulldogs vs Storm @ Belmore, 7pm Thu 15-Feb

[Freakzilla]

Hoping all the boys just rip in for each other every week... Sharing the workload is paramount!

CANNOT afford injuries, Curran playing all stars is killing me.

Long season brother. Don’t stress from now. At least we get to watch Bulldogs players twice this week.

Or this:

the winger is guided by the centre mate, letsget the defense structure correct and we will be ok.

Yes true but we also saw Fox let in far to many tries attempting it.

 

[The__GM]

What happened to our boy Harrison J Edwards?

You middle to outside middle defence set up your defensive lines. In other words your centres, lock and second rowers. Good teams (ones contending) have players that DO NOT miss tackles in these positions. Wingers are therefore left to mark their man and not be having to make decisions coming in and what not. This is why I'm far less concerned about wingers, but if you have those positions gifting linebreaks and missed tackles you are so screwed. It just looks bad with the winger making a decision, he shouldn't have to be doing it.

Fuck I really hope Burto opens up this year, can't deal with another year of sloppy Burto

Game is tomorrow!

With Burto and Hutch that is one massive halves pairing:

Burto : 190 cm 96Kg
Hutch: 187 cm 97 Kg

That is a pair of second rowers (or at least big centres) in the halves, would easily be the biggest in the NRL. If Burto aims up that should really help our defence. Less obvious targets in the line. One reason I don't like the Roosters is I just can't see a pairing of Keary (85Kg) and Walker (78) Kg working. That is two small bodies in the halves and two big targets. Our halves combined have 30 Kgs or so on that pair.

If either of them don't work out in the halves, we could always give them a run at prop lol

Also why Taaffe could be a good fit at fullback. As he can come into the line as a playmaker, a bit more lively than Burton and Hutchison and able to get the ball out wide more quickly.

I'm keen to see how samrani goes , I never realised how big he was

 

[Dogs Life]

Hughes was actually on the starting side whilst Knight was running with the reserves in the last few sessions before they went behind closed doors.

Could be nothing but was shocked when i saw it weeks ago.
[/QUOTE
He has always had big raps on him coming through the juniors at Parra.
Has benefited from a full preseason and surprised many. Needs 20 first grade games this year to develop and show full potential.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

@Dogs Life so he's starting come round one?
