Official Round 15 Bulldogs V Eels - Team Lists and Discussion Thread

[LoneWolf]

No coincidence since antoni and Ogden have dropped off we’ve looked a lot more stronger and durable up front .

Team has weaknesses but it’s hard to argue against when last 2 games the performances have been at a acceptable and exceptional levels

The other will have to do extraordinary things if this type of form holds up over next few weeks .

Wakeham , is probably the only one with sights firmly on him atm

Like to see Renouf play in a confident team tho. Could help his game but if he is gone then no benefit to the team I guess.

 

[The DoggFather]

Topine in for Kraptoa and Atoni in for Waddles is a no brainer

 

[The DoggFather]

I'd also promote Heleta for the other Kraptoa too.

Renouf has already agreed to terms with another club imo.

 

[Cappuccino]

They better not be doing my boy DWZ dirty

 

[Bulldogsteve]

Topine is playing 80 minutes in the backrow in reserves, probably better for his development doing that

agree no point in rushing him

 

[bradyk]

If he plays centre he should replace Hoppa or Katoa on the wing or play FB

I don't like Allan on the wing (too slow), and he really struggled at fullback, similar to Flanagan, I think Hopoate will finish the year out at centre (like Napa will off the bench) and Allan's going to struggle to get back into the team, not only this year, but also next year.

 

[Novdoggie]

No Sivo for the Eels is good news for us to attack both inexperienced wingers.

Probs right....Storm my guess.

Any goss on who it might be?

Just as we are coming good with attacking, running plays and he wont be there ...bugger.

Allen over katoa for sure I don’t even care if Allen can play wing

 

[Bob The Builder]

Allen for Hoppa
Atoni for Napa

Atoni had his hamstring iced up after the Cup game.

 

[finchie]

Corey allan over katoa (winger)
Jackson topine over katoa (hooker)
Atoni over waddel
Thank u

Are you sure?

 

[Trafford10]

This means DWZ is gone.

You would think so.

 

[Malla]

Surely Topine should be there instead of Katoa?

 

[EzyB]

You would think so.

Has to be they pulled him out in the last game just a day before the game and now his sting as 19th man.

 

[B-Train]

Topine is playing 80 minutes in the backrow in reserves, probably better for his development doing that

This is the perfect time for him to get experience. The more FG opportunities he gets, the better he'll be next year. We're out of finals contention and realistically he should be ahead of Katoa, Smith, Waddell and Doorey as well as Napa. He's proven he can handle big minutes in FG and was a reliable player each time he played.

Shades of dean pay with bench selections what’s the point of haveing katoa when we can have topine and use him rather than waste that spot.
Use all your bench and preserve energy
