Official Round 18 - Bulldogs vs Sea Eagles - Discussion Thread

[Howie B]

If anyone in the backline has an injury or HIA, Averilo plays the utility role and wakeham plays in the halves. And if Lewis is having a shocker then he is hooked and Wakeham replaces him.

Yep exactly. We need a bench utility because all of our backrowers are too slow to fill in our wide if we get an injury

By that logic, youd think cogger would be a better choice since he can cover both hooker and halves

Lafai needs A run, better be put in.!!

He's a myth mate. Sorry.

He's a myth mate. Sorry.

So are the people getting picked in his spot. All myths mate.. he’s there. And damn better than Remis or holland etc. that’s a fact. And unlike them. He is an always will be a true bulldog. Remember ,Just my opinion though.!!!

100%. I have been saying this for the few seasons.

Hoppa defensively is no god at fullback. Way to slow and never seems to be able to get across to kicks in goals or even wingers scoring in the corner.

Shit comment

 

[dogwhisperer]

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.

I agree, Meaney at Fullback, Hoppa in the centres and SMith to the wing would of been better.

Logic in selections ??

Nice one lol

Thats what I thought. Cogger or even Kotoa would be better utility options as Wakeham can really only play 7

They can’t cover backline injuries though. If we have an injury 1-5 then Averillo shifts to that space and Wakeham comes on in the halves.

Cogger is a half mate.

I think it’s just about giving Wakeham a go more so than the best option.

Better wakham as he’s actually here next year

Agree. Maybe you should have been in the coaches ear with that rationale while he kept picking Montoya and Holland ...

And on that note Chris Smith should be playing instead of Tolman.

But common sense ain’t real farkin common at the dogs. Hasn’t been for a while now

 

[Bob dog]

Cool we got the Eagles, Rabbits and Panthers, should win those if we fend and offload, keeping the ball alive without speculators is the key.
Support the ball runners.

 

[Bulldogz82]

Here's a stupid question - why is Wakeham on the bench.? How many other teams carry a 7 on the bench? It seems like a wasted bench spot

I reckon he is there incase dwz or Smith fuck up then Wakeham to 6 and averillo out to the centres, would be a shit move though avo can't tackle for shit in the centres

Either way you just know that someone is gonna get hooked out of this back line at some stage during the game lol

 

[Headmix]

I’d put Meaney at FB ... move hoppa to centre and push Rimmer onto the wing

How many years did he play for the dragons? And how many for the dogs? Pretty sure he's a dragon mate.
