Wouldn't be surprised if King's named to start tbh. Would keep thommo on the bench

 

[Benno Bulldog]

would like to see Cook to start at hooker tell JMK or Biondi on in the second half and to pull the finger out. we have the quicks to fuck this team up but the play the ball is crucial and we need speed from the hookers and a repeat of the Burton kicking game.

 

[Moedogg]

Thompson is better off the bench with Ava starting.

Duffty
JAC
Naden
Burns
Okunbor
Burton
Averillo
Avaseumanu
JMK
Vaughn
Hetherington
TPJ
Jackson

BBO
King
Thompson
Waddell

18th Schoupp.


Went onto the donkeys website and they think they're a sure thing to beat us after they beat an understrength rabbitohs side lol.

I hope they pick Billy Walters over Kelly, he did the okay but how they were carrying on about him is like he's the second coming of Lockyer.

17. Waddell (I'd have Patolo but Baz)

I'm almost certain this will be the 17 bar injuries.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

@Actros Thompson off the bench or was that only a one off? Thought him and the side we're better for it and he still played big minutes.

as long as he's playing big minutes it's probably better he's off the bench after the stings been taken out of the game. Let the big boppers start.

 

[Bulldog1966]

How many have to pass concussion protocols?
Burns, Patolo(may be replaced anyway), Naden and one other player?

 

[Apex Cedar]

Didn’t JMK injure his shoulder ?

Nah it was his head. Was just trying to put the 'Independent' doctors off their game.

 

[Doge]

Will be a step up from the Cowboys who are now short favourites for the wooden spoon, we will need to be much better than last night.

We're definitely too small through the middle with both Thompson and Jackson starting so I hope we stick with it. I do like how we rotated our forwards last night and had all our middles off by the 26th minute. Would've liked BBO to come on but I guess a 4th change is probably too much during the first half.

 

[ILiveForDib]

Think we will score a few predicting a 22 - 12 win.

 

[silva]

Have a great record against the broncos in sydney

we play next Sunday which is 7 days since the hias occurred so should be fine to play unless they develop symptoms over the next few days

Yep Bronkos will be studying the tapes and see how slow Jmk is in his delivery stiefeling Burto time.

Canterbury Bulldogs vs Brisbane Broncos at Accor Stadium, 6.15pm

Last week’s Bulldogs team: 1. Matt Duffy 2. Jayden Okunbor 3. Braidon Burns 4. Brent Naden 5. Josh Addo-Carr 6. Matt Burton 7. Jake Averillo 10. Paul Vaughan 9. Jeremy Marshall-King 23. Ava Seumanufagai 11. Jack Hetherington 15. Corey Waddell 13. Josh Jackson 8. Luke Thompson 14. Bailey Biondi-Odo 16. Max King 17. Chris Patolo

Team Tips: Star forward Tevita Pangai Jr was a late scratching against the Cowboys due to a hamstring injury but Trent Barrett expects him to be fit for Round 2. The Bulldogs lost Chris Patolo, Jeremy Marshall-King, Braidon Burns and Brent Naden to concussion against the Cowboys and all will have to pass protocols to play the Broncos.

Last week’s Broncos team: 1. Jamayne Isaako 2. Corey Oates 3. Kotoni Staggs 4. Herbie Farnworth 5. Selwyn Cobbo 6. Billy Walters 7. Albert Kelly 8. Keenan Palasia 9. Jake Turpin 10. Payne Haas 11. Kurt Capewell 12. Jordan Riki 13. Patrick Carrigan 14. Ryan James 15. Rhys Kennedy 16. Teui Robati 17. Tyrone Roberts

Team Tips: For once Kevin Walters has some good headaches at the selection table after his side’s shock Round 1 win. Halfback and captain Adam Reynolds is set to return from Covid protocols at No.7, with Albert Kelly likely to shift to five-eighth and Billy Walters potentially unlucky to switch to the bench or the reserves. Kobe Hetherington is also slated to return from Covid protocols, while Brendan Piakura returns from suspension and will bid for inclusion which gives Walters some unenviable selection calls.

Reynolds, Piakura, Hetherington big inns for the Broncos

I think Thompson off the bench with King lowers the drop off when the props rotate but it might be good to start with Thompson or king to try and match brisbanes front row from the jump as Haas and Carrigan are massive for them. Interesting to see what Baz does, as long as no one’s injured I can’t see Baz making any changes really coming off a win. I actually thought JMK was good yesterday no chance cook comes in, different doesn’t always mean better
