R2 - Bulldogs vs Roosters - Team List & Discussion Thread

[Z-Dizzle]

Holland travelled with the Team to Perth (he’s the first choice back up back because he can play anywhere between 1-6. Until the teams start playing in the same city or with a significant gap between games he’s going to miss out on a lot of game time.

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

Did Tualau travel to Perth last week as cover? I can’t remember. If he did I’d say he’s playing reggies so he gets some game time for fitness.

 

[KiwiDog7]

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

Yeah he was last week at fullback

Yeah man what has Tualau done wrong? He was the best performing prop in trials.... must have slackened off at training but geez he’s exactly what we need coming off the bench

 

[Mr Invisible]

Nobody knows at present. Eastwood is named in both sides, Tualau named starting in NSW Cup.

Team lists a bit of a mess.... but some will drop out closer to game day.

NRL carrying Holland (back) and Fine (forward), who will push back into NSW Cup.
NSW Cup carrying Kiko Manu (back) and Joey Luani (forward) who will push back into shield.

Last week we took Holland and Fine over to Perth so they couldn't push back into NSW Cup... this week they will.

He played ISP last week..wasn't great but it's not like anyone was.

Every time he has played firstgrade he has been strong off the bench and like you said he was strong during the trial. He must have done somethinf that Pay isn't happy with.

 

[Novocastrian]

With toomaga only named in extended reserves in first grade and not in reggies at all and eastwood named lock in reggies youd have to think thats where the swap is.
Appologies if already mentioned my phone wont let me go back pages

Gerard Sutton is ref.....

ROOSTERS V BULLDOGS

Friday, March 16, Allianz Stadium, 6pm (AEDT)

Roosters: 1 James Tedesco, 2 Daniel Tupou, 3 Latrell Mitchell, 4 Joseph Manu, 5 Blake Ferguson, 6 Luke Keary, 7 Cooper Cronk, 8 Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, 9 Jake Friend (c), 10 Sio Siua Taukeiaho, 11 Boyd Cordner (c), 12 Mitchell Aubusson, 13 Isaac Liu Interchange: 14 Dylan Napa, 15 Zane Tetevano, 16 Ryan Matterson, 17 Victor Radley Reserves: 18 Reece Robinson, 19 Mitchell Cornish, 20 Nat Butcher, 21 Lindsay Collins

Bulldogs: 1 Moses Mbye, 2 Brett Morris, 3 Josh Morris, 4 Will Hopoate, 5 Marcelo Montoya, 6 Matthew Frawley, 7 Kieran Foran, 8 Aaron Woods, 9 Michael Lichaa, 10 David Klemmer, 11 Joshua Jackson (c), 12 Raymond Faitala-Mariner, 13 Danny Fualalo Interchange: 14 Adam Elliott, 15 Aiden Tolman, 16 Greg Eastwood, 17 Jeremy Marshall-King Reserves: 19 Asipeli Fine, 20 Kerrod Holland, 21 Renouf Toomaga, 23 John Olive

Not point in changing the side after the first week.. We could have won last week except for a few costly errors.. My thoughts are if Frawley has errors that cost us points, we string him up next week.. Hahahaha until Tolman leaves he will be in the 17, someone needs to tell the c””t to run harder, he is already a good defender..

 

[DoggyStyla]

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

Fucking hate the Roosters

 

[The 2nd Spitter]

This is going to be a tough one:
-- Tedesco is going to be ultra motivated after getting panned in the first round.
-- Likewise their forwards
-- My biggest concern is that Mitchell is going to have a field day against our slow centres.

On the plus side:
-- Frawley cannot possibly give away as many points as he did in Perth.
-- Jackson likewise will want to make amends for his Perth nightmare.
-- Hopefully Pay will manage his interchanges a bit better.

talking defense centre

Which is why I said what I did. If Chambers couldn't get past JMoz then he must've been doing a good job. The fact that Chambers who is a current Origin and International centre kept JMoz offensively quiet isn't a knock on Morris.

 

[bulldogfan1]

If they defend like they did last week, it wont matter who we play.
Some of that defense was atrocious

 

[Interestingg]

Super pumped if Toomaga debuts. Big body with speed. Probably faster than jmoz

worst kick off time in the history of nrl.

For two teams that hate each other this should be a 7.30 game every day of the week

RIP NRL

Did you know? The Banana Bender Derby pays Greenberg's yearly bonus.

Rain is forecast so we might see a couple of late changes
