Official Round 20 - Bulldogs vs Panthers Discussion Thread

Why not try Harper, Kalache.

The year is gone, it's the perfect opportunity to see if they are up to first grade and can be used next year.

Why wen you got the best centre in the game Kerrod Holland, who got stepped on like a cockroach last week

That's an insult to all cockroaches!!

 

[bradyk]

Actually should be

1. DWZ
2. +Okunbor
3. Holland
4. Hopoate
5. Reimis
6. Cogger (right)
7. Lewis (left)
8. Tolman 50
9. -JMK 80
10. +Ogden 50
11. CHN 50
12. Jackson 80
13. Elliott 50

14. +RFM 30
15. -Napa 30
16. Toomaga 30
17. Smith 30

Only other option should be starting Lichaa with JMK > RFM on the bench and/or Fualalo in over Toomaga, but they're both leaving after this season so what is the point in playing them.

On paper we're not so far off compared to the other teams we've played recently. I think we have a 20-30% chance. We could just get completely banged out tho too.

Nah I’m feeling quietly confident for once dogs in a close one and that’s coming from the head this time

Foran not even named.The way Pay spoke in the after game press conference I don’t think he’s playing again for a while. I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t play again this year.

Tough going when we can’t get our marquee million dollar man on the field yet again.

Surely if he can’t get fit for the remainder of the year we’ll have some grounds for a medical retirement?

I think there's so many hoops to jump through to get a medical retirement and the biggest one will be if Foran actually wants to retire.

Mate they got brought back down to earth last weekend, we are the bounce back game. They will tear us a new one.

Break out the champagne.

Yeah, this is getting really problematic.
Since being with us he's only managed 22 games out of a possible 43. I appreciate that people get injured but a 50% play record isn't great.
I wish him well and hope he gets back on real soon as each game he doesn't play costs us a bundle. (.....about $40k per game if he's on $1M per season)

Does anyone actually know what is really going on with Foran? Wasn't it reported he was ready to play after the bye?

 

[Jackson_1994]

New nothing would change pay is a stubborn fuckwit that got no idea
He picks the same useless fuckwits week in and week out what more does Morgan Harper (yes he is in our top 30) to do to get a go he will probably fuck Wakeman up drops him after 3 games then will probably bring him back this week and drop him a week later continues to keep RFM (I no is currently injuryed) Ogden and onkbur in CC I got nothing against Meaney but he is not a winger and the worse part is it looks like where stuck with pay for another 12 months

Apparently he was coming close to playing last week but Ayoub pushed him too hard on Friday and re injured it. That was posted by Big M last week and going off what’s happened since it looks like he’s spot on.

Someone said that he went down in training last week

The club would love to medically retire him, but Foran himself thinks he can keep going.

 

[Spoonman84]

Ben Cummins and the token as refs again!

 

[B-Train]

If Foran was a race horse he would have been down 20 injuries ago. It's almost cruel allowing him to try and play on.
