Official Round 17 Bulldogs V Roosters - Team Lists and Discussion Thread

[Steve Bos]

Yh, he missed the least tackles of any of our forwards lol. Jackson on one edge, flip a coin for the other. Topine off the bench playing through the middle. It doesn't matter through, we're getting hammered because our defensive systems are rubbish and we can't effectively play as a unit...that's before we even lost half our squad.

I don’t think it was based on him ‘missing tackles’ because they went around, not through, that edge.

Agree Jackson should be one edge.

Need to get rid of every back rower we have and keep RFM and get TPJ. The rest are not nrl players.

 

[B-Train]

Whatever little faith or patience people still had with Baz has gone with his selection of Crapa.

 

[Hotdog]

I dropped a turd this morning which had more resilience than that fuckin starting back row

Hardly his fault, look at how we defend. I'm comfortable saying he's a better defender than either Stimson or Waddell.

How the fuck does Napa get named after last week? Talk about a gutless decision by Baz.

He should of disciplined the covid lot and it would of set an example to the whole team that behaviour like that will not be tolerated. He has to separate being their friend, and be a coach first and upmost!

Will someone tell Thompson the bed is back when tackling and hit the ball carrier in the bread basket instead of standing upright and trying to shirt front them. Despite what Gus "go the ball, go the ball" Gould syas, if Thompsong goes low with force he is more likely to bend his opponent backwards and hurt they guy so much he will not be so keen to take the ball up for the rest of the game. And have less risk of Thompson being pinged for high contact.

 

[gazza]

"bend his back". Sorry guys something happened in the typing.

 

[FZ1-S]

I’m not gon lie but my trust in Baz has wavered

A friend who's a Manly supporter told me in January, that Baz as our coach would not end well! I was prepared to give him ago but every week just seems to get worse.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Wakeham is the only one that got dropped and hes probably the one we need most to keep Flanagan out of the team. Flanagan will probably cry on the field when the Roosters players sledge him hahaha.

Apart from Katoa, that’s the whitest dogs forward pack I’ve seen since probably the 90s (respectively)

 

[MariaZ]

Is Waddell and Stimson the worst starting back-row ever?

I can see another record being broken, and it isn’t in our favour!

 

[Disposable Hero]

Surely come gameday Napa get dropped the fuck out of the team

 

[Bazildog]

 

[Horse]

Disgusting.

 

[2ndphase]

Hurry up 2022.
I'm looking forward to who exactly we have signed that they are not telling us about.
Goodbye to the deadwood...

Who said that we have signed anyone?
Re-signing Jmk is a give away

 

[KLil]

Is this the first time Stimson has started on an edge ??

 

[GreenTurd]

Bro, have you seen Stimson and Waddell defend on an edge? Lol.

And t.katoa 9 times out of 10 he’s nowhere near his man.

 

[DogsOfWar1704]

We're desperate for a win. That's the only reason they're back.
And if we don't win or atleast put up a fight against a weak out of form roosters side then we are fuuuuuuucked

 

[Benno Bulldog]

we can win this week return to defence structures, very winnable must take opportunities take walker out early up on him quickly

 

[Horse]

Is this the first time Stimson has started on an edge ??

Started in R1 for us last season I’m pretty sure but picked up an injury in that game. He’s really played fuck all footy for us, 7 games only - mostly limited minutes from the bench.

This will be a good opportunity for him.
