R2 - Bulldogs vs Roosters - Team List & Discussion Thread

[BELMORE]

I don't follow the Roosters form closely, but I have memories over the past two years of him almost single handed shutting down opposition forward packs. Seems like when he gets fired up he can pull out some massive performances, but maybe his issue is consistency week in week out?

He had one good game against the bunnies. Nappy is nothing to be concerned about, average as

I really want to pump these *****.
I’ll take a win, but I want a humiliation.

 

[Powerslide]

hmmm, maybe Toomaga will be on the bench... or maybe it was just an error.

When are the reserves playing? Could be playing 2 games due to limited game time in first grade and trying to get some minutes in his leg.

I would have expected Tualau to make the step up before Toomaga

Fine not named

Number 19 on first grade extended team.

Yeah hes not named either.
May be nsw cup is so loosely regulated

jmoz is nothing compared to chambers at the moment

I didn't notice him getting past JMoz too often at the game last week......

Fine's an edge forward that can play centre though, we need a proper middle forwward coming in.

We need Two Props that can impact off the Bench. With an Edge backrower that has a point of difference. Along with a Utility.

Tolman should be 13 and Tackle his arse off.

14. JMK
15. Toomga / Fine / Ogden
16. Tualau
17. Fualalo

Elliot & Eastwood need to play reserve grade.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

The only way i see Fine getting into the side is if Pay moves Jackson to lock and starts fine on the edge with Fualalo on the bench? A straight swap with Eastwood seems crazy considering we lacked go forward off the bench and an edge forward isn't going to help things at all.

Yeah I know that I’m just reading between the lines on why Eastwood named in Cup but Fine not yet Fine on reserves for FG?

Perhaps Fualolo will start from bench and Elliott at Lock

Toomaga isn’t named in NSW Cup either

 

[KiwiDog7]

Toomaga isn’t named in NSW Cup either

Toomaga
Fine
Holland

All not named in nsw cup so 2/3 are reserves to n case mishap in warm up

One of them either Fine or Toomaga is replacing Eastwood

 

[Haddaway]

Fine, Toomanga Taulau anyone other than Eastwood. You could have put a third hooker in their who could have given you more yhan what Eastwood gave last week lol.

 

[Spoonman84]

Fk hold on
Holland not named in NSW cup either lol

I’m pretty sure Holland wasn’t named last week either

Yh it will have to be To'omaga if it's a straight swap. Can't believe Tualau has dropped behind him..
