Official Round 18 - Bulldogs vs Sea Eagles - Discussion Thread

[Mak Dogs]

I dont like bagging Montoya because he tries hard but last week done my head in. 2 weeks ago Jamil Fogarty got ran down by a front rower. Last week Fogarty ran straight around Montoya. And that was after Holland had dropped a sitter on the first tackle. Everyone on here knew that having those 2 in the centres would cost us the game.

And it did.

I agree. I don’t care who our centres are as long as it’s not those 2

Every one except Stevie Wonder could see it oops I meant Stevie Georgalis

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Apparently one of our changes is going to be Wakeham on, Averillo centre, DWZ to wing and Okunbor to prop..

 

[Packstar]

Reimis and DWZ in the centres, YUCK.
Wakeham on the bench, YUCK.

Brad bitching, YUCK.

Do you blame them or do you blame the coach.

Any team selection with NO Montoya and Napa in it has to be a positive. This is way better than what they’ve selected in recent weeks. Manly have been ravaged with injury so if we can’t win this then we’re assured of the wooden spoon. If we win all our last 3 games we can hopefully pass the spoon over to the Broncos. These last 3 games should be played with the mindset of a Grand Final. Go the Dogs!

 

[MountMontoya]

1. Meaney, 2. Smith, 3. Hopoate, 7. Wakeham. Lewis out and it looks alot better.

because Wakeham set the world on fire last time he played at halfback lol

 

[Kelpie03]

So we have:

1. Centre
2. Fullback
3. Winger
4. Winger
5. Winger

1 player in our backline is playing in their best position.

Also, interesting to see Tui Katoa named as a reserve.

Lucky we only have 3 more games to put up with SG selections, Hoppa our best centre at FB, Meany our only FB on the wing where he is useless.

 

[Raysie]

The below looks like a fucking Picasso, but it is a much better balanced side in my opinion!

2. Nick Meaney
3. Reimis Smith
1. Will Hopoate
21. Tim Lafai
5. Jayden Okunbor
6. Jake Averillo
14. Brandon Wakeham
8. Ofahiki Ogden
9. Jeremy Marshall-King
13. Luke Thompson
16. Matthew Doorey
12. Raymond Faitala-Mariner
11. Josh Jackson (c)

Interchange
22. Chris Smith
15. Renouf To’omaga
7. Lachlan Lewis
17. Sauaso Sue

 

[Caveman]

Don't like lewis partnering Averillo, Averillo will hardly see any ball cause lewis will always be calling for it.

 

[Kelpie03]

This club for some reason likes playing players out of their preferred position. Meaney still not at fullback. Avo in halves only positive.

Is it the Club or the coach who picks the team.

 

[maroondog72]

Waits for article about how Lewis will take Avo under his wing in this weeks preparation.

Someone bust the kids ear drums FFS

 

[maroondog72]

Lewis will be the dominant/ hero half and fuck up Avo and the rest of the side..............again
On a positive note no Holland and Montoya so that’s an improvement

You’re right, it does look like a Picasso.

It’s a masterpiece compared to the current selections.

 

[Howie B]

Do you blame them or do you blame the coach.

1 million per cent the coach .

And the football department for retaining them.

The only player who I would bag for their performance in our current line up is Tolman. I think he is selfish and puts his own stats as a priority over the team.

Every other player plays as well as they can.

Compare that to the broncos where some of their players don’t even put in .

In terms of talent we comfortably have the worst roster in the comp. But due to effort alone we have been in the vast majority of games all year.

I applaud the players for this . I admonish the board and football department for the roster assembled

 

[KLil]

Reimis and DWZ in the centres, YUCK.
Wakeham on the bench, YUCK.

Should be DWZ and Hoppa BUT ATLEAST ITS NOT MONTOYA AND HOLLAND.

 

[Mr. Ditkovich]

I’d rather Holland than Smith at centre.

 

[Mighty_Matt]

What’s the go with schoupp is he injured or to young ,why hasn’t he been given a go in the centres not like we can make the finals love to see wakeham and averillo in the halves played schoolboys together and won the arrive alive cup

 

[Mozzie]

I love the way posters here think it makes a difference who plays in our back line. Once our forward pack clocks off. it will be up to Lewis and Tolman to slow the try fest and that is about as sad as it gets for us. A reserve grade half back and a burned out front rower our last line of defence.

 

[MariaZ]

At least Montoya and Holland were finally dropped. Hoppa should be in the centres though with Reimis on the wing and Meaney at fullback..

I hope Okunbur shows us something. And I'd love to see Averillo have a good game in the halves but he'll have to go looking for the ball and be vocal as Lewis will be dominating the touches.

My thoughts precisely! Watch Lewis hog the plays and not giving Jake a fair go!!
