Official Round 14 Bulldogs V Dragons - Team Lists and Discussion Thread

[Bob dog]

Is that the best available bench?
Hope they bring that big defense from the Panthers game but hold up for the 80.
The Dragons are beatable.

Those last 2 stats are so worrying.

But some are saying we need to dumb down our game plan? It’s already very simple I don’t know how much more we can dumb it down.

 

[Matthew G]

Why keep picking Katoa, he lets in 3 tries a game

 

[Bulldogsteve]

stimson named in reserve grade also which is strange

 

[Doggiezbrah]

Experience is meaningless when the player is not good enough and a liability for one reason or another.

It’s sad of affairs tbh. I rather we lose and develop our juniors than play someone who isn’t there next year.

 

[AlzzBulldog]

stimson named in reserve grade also which is strange

He’s probably dropping out of squad

They wouldn't be if we were even slightly competitive in the other stats. But its just like our team under Pay.

I can understand the frustration. But exactly who offers more than the selected team.
Atoni and Ogden don't understand effort. Katoa is underwhelming, but is the only option as a dummy half.
Topine needs to develop his game. He's not NRL ready.
The biggest frustration is Hopoate getting a run. He offers nothing.

What about Stimson and Napa then?

 

[repolski]

As predicted Topine not in the 21 and behind dead weight like Stimson, Napa, Katoa etc.. Isn't the second half of the season supposed to be about player development?

I don't know why Atoni is banished to reserves but players who underperformed way more like Napa keep getting picked.

What a shit shit side. I actually hope they get flogged by the saints !!!!

 

[SPEARTAKVIDREFS]

I would rather see Lewis try and fail at hooker this week than field Katoa. Not because Katoa is bog average but because he is a lazy fuck and just doesnt give a shit.

Napa's effort has been pathetic all season. Same with Elliott. And Katoa. And several others that keep getting picked.

Topine is more FG ready than Doorey and he's one of our better defenders despite being a rookie.

 

[Bazildog]

100% I was gonna say this you beat me to it.

I dont know why @Bazildog loves waddell so much

You Bastard...

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs will welcome back hooker Jeremy Marshall-King for their Queen's Birthday match against the Dragons at Stadium Australia on Monday (4:00PM AEST).
Marshall-King has been missing with a foot ligament injury picked up against the Broncos at the end of March. The hooking stocks will also see Sione Katoa return to the bench after missing a game through suspension.

The changes have resulted in Brad Deitz and Jackson Topine dropping out of the overall squad.
The match will see all members of the State Emergency Services allowed in for free as a thank you for the great work they have been doing in the community.

Bloody Barrett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No Dufty, No Naden, No Burton, No Smith. I thought we'd signed these guys & they'd come in after the bye?

Hes not even a 9 but Topine could have 1 arm and still do a better job than Katoa and thats no joke.

 

[Bazildog]

He's a fucking donkey

LMFAO barret, idiot, dope.

How dare you both, I will sue.

 

[Arazern]

I personally like JMK, don’t see why all the hate he isn’t the worst dummy half (Kenny). Diets and Topine should be bench players ffs. Maybe the coach should have his hands tied like previous coaches and told who to play as I’m lost as to why Topine especially is left out again.

 

[Roger the alien]

Lost as to why Topine isn't in the squad

 

[B-Train]

Lost as to why Topine isn't in the squad

I reckon he'd make a few other teams 17 as a bench player and he can't even make our 21 when he's our best junior and we're 1-11. Makes heaps of sense..

we are playing too conservatively!
