Round 3 Bulldogs V Broncos - Team Lists and Discussion Thread

In other changes, Ray Faitala-Mariner drops out of the squad after sustaining a foot injury against the Penrith Panthers, with Corey Waddell taking his place in the starting line-up.
Joe Stimson comes on to the bench for Waddell, for his first NRL match of the season.
Jeremy Marshall-King will start at hooker with Sione Katoa coming off the bench.

Damn they must have sent me the wrong email

 

[KLil]

My heart is seriously starting to hurt...

 

[Bulldog1966]

takin the piss..but it's Ryan's brother

 

[Moedogg]

That starting pack will get creamed by the Broncos.

 

[Trafford10]

ok so Lewis at lock, wasn't expecting that.
Daniel Holdsworth? I didn't know he was still playing.

[Haddaway]

I think we're going to lose, probably get dominated up front again. I'm still interested to see how we go on a dry track though.

 

[Spoonman84]

Getting out of our own end is going to be a huge problem again.

Cotric is the only one in that backline that can start sets with any powerful hit ups.

The Broncos easily have us covered up front. This could get ugly.

[Moedogg]

Our only saving grace will be the Broncos inept halves. I just want to see a link up play with our halves and FB.

 

[c-b-b]

Shuffling the deck chairs.

It took the first 2 rounds for me to see how bad the forwards are, I was looking at the season with rose coloured glasses like I always do.

 

[Suave]

Really can't argue with that side too much apart from the fact Napa is still there. I'm hoping Ava is a late inclusion.

I'm glad Averillo hasn't been given the boot. Baz seems committed to giving him more than a few games there to prove himself which is good. This game is going to tell us a lot about the 2021 season IMO. I haven't given up hope of a good season despite the rough start but a 13+ loss to the Broncos will raise all sorts of questions.

 

[Mak Dogs]

Honestly how many first graders are really in that side. We need a massive clean out

 

[Dogna88]

LOL. Spoon.

 

[Bulldog1966]

I'm not sure if they were saying that the talented rookie Dearden might play? if ever you were going to debut one this round against us would be the day.

 

[NPC83]

Unfortunately there is not much else we can do with limited depth. I wouldn’t mind seeing Napa get dropped for Ava.

 

[DinkumDog]

Really can't argue with that side too much apart from the fact Napa is still there. I'm hoping Ava is a late inclusion.

Ava isn’t in the Top 30.
Agree re: Napa. Britt played very well in reggies last week and although was far from spectacular in the NRL last year - well - anyone but Napa .

 

[fiordog]

Isn't Stimson meant to be transitioning to the front row? So we're carrying 3 FRF's on our bench?

 

[NPC83]

Ava’s not in the 30 is he?

No I didn’t think so meaning he can’t play NRL till after round 11? Looking very skinny up front. Would probably give Britt another crack. Napa is getting worse and worse.

 

[FZ1-S]

Is it just me? or is it starting to feel like 2018, 2019 and 2020 all over again. Can't we just post our team on game day, knowing we have no chance all week is depressing!
