As long as it's not effed in the a!!Good lord i've seen some weak bulldogs teams over the years, but this ranks somewhere... in the middle.
Seriously though wtf is going on, that team is gonna get the same thing I am this Friday: hammered
Must have got an exemption for Topine then because he’s a development player60 plus mins of Katoa is going to be painful I guess Topine could play a bit there but you'd assume Katoa would play the bulk of the game.
We mustn't have been able to get a exemption for Dietz.
I get changing things but why has he fired Averillo into the sun instead of putting him at centre?Round 4 Team News: Lewis to partner Flanagan in Good Friday clash
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have named Lachlan Lewis to start in the halves for Good Friday's clash with South Sydney at Stadium Australia (4:00PM AEDT).
Lewis has been rewarded after a strong performance in last week's Mounties victory over Canberra.
With the Bulldogs having eight players out through suspension or injury, the team has been selected from a group of 21 available players.
Suspensions to Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Luke Thompson and Josh Jackson, in addition to injuries to Ray Faitala-Mariner (12-16 weeks), Jeremy Marshall-King (6-8 weeks), Jayden Okunbor (16 weeks), Christian Crichton (season ending), Ava Seumanufagai (3 weeks) and Jake Averillo (ankle) have created selection headaches for Trent Barrett, although Averillo has been named in the extended squad.
The team changes from last week's match against Brisbane have seen :
- Lewis come into the halves for Averillo for his first NRL match of the season
- Nick Meaney swap places with Corey Allan to start at full back with Allan on the wing
- Sione Katoa come into the starting side as hooker for the injured Marshall-King
- Renouf Atoni move from the bench to replace the suspended Josh Jackson
- Development squad utility Jackson Topine and Dean Britt both named on an extended bench with a final decision on the starting 17 to be made on Thursday.

Yeah true. Interesting that they went Topine over DietzMust have got an exemption for Topine then because he’s a development player
It said he had a ankle injury in the blurb but he’s still on the extended bench so who knows what’s going on.I get changing things but why has he fired Averillo into the sun instead of putting him at centre?

Yep so we have got DWZ and Allan on "fullback" money and they both play on the wing.I love the fact that another big name signing for fullback has been punted to the wing.. already.
Nick Meaney would win Survivor.
more utility value id assumeYeah true. Interesting that they went Topine over Dietz

Yeah that's true personally I'd rather have the option of hooking Katoa over utility value.more utility value id assume
It said he had a ankle injury in the blurb but he’s still on the extended bench so who knows what’s going on.
Well that sucks. Dropping Hoppa for him would've been a big improvement.Says he has an ankle injury
Nah, I think that's what Topine is there for mateKatoa to play 80mins at hooker? Yikes
I think we need more than dropping Hoppa to improve that team it's a dogs breakfast.Well that sucks. Dropping Hoppa for him would've been a big improvement.
