Round 4 Bulldogs V Souths - Team Lists and Discussion Thread

[BULLDVGS]

Yeah that's true personally I'd rather have the option of hooking Katoa over utility value.

Topine has only played a game at hooker.

came through juniors at 9 so hopefully hes got something

He's player majority of his career in the back row.

Haha still picking Hoppa and Nappa Baz must want to be sacked he is seriously clueless. Goes on about accountability and pride and picks these 2 lazy fucks.

 

[Interestingg]

Avo isn’t injured. He’s been dropped and listing an injury prevents the media from going to town on the “Dogs’ pursuit of Burton has affected Averillos form to the point of being dropped” narrative

Ah really? just quoting him, he mentioned it in his post game after that one game at 9 for mounties.

 

[Haddaway]

I'm picking Atoni to run over 200 metres and then I'll be back on board the jizz train toot toot

Who would you replace them with?

We have basically no depth with injuries and suspension.

 

[liljohny]

Whos captain?

Adam "Ill dick your mrs" Elliot

or

Will "the statue" Hopoate

 

[Howie B]

Left edge of Waddell, Lewis, Hoppa & Allan....

Absolutely no speed, agility or lateral movement whatsoever.

Alex Johnston - Hatrick
Mitchell - Hatrick
Gagai - x 2
Walker x 2

The try tally may be right but Lewis will be on the other side. Flanagan defends on the right.

Anyone with a fucking pulse, just to show that at this club you can't be lazy fucks.

 

[Bulldogsteve]

Well Renouf has the highest workrate per minute of our forwards, might get over 100m if we're lucky lolol

It's funny, Flanagan has a shocker yet Jake gets dropped. No surprise to see Hetherington, Waddell and Flanagan manage to cling to their spots...**** is playing favourites like he did at Manly and it didn't end well there.

Flanagan is not (yet) a dominant 7 to be the sole playmaker. He needs help from his 6. Averillo offers nothing. That being said I don’t think Lewis is the answer either at least defensively he can fill a hole. but nothing I have seen from Averillo lives up to the Hype people on here make him out to be. He looks like a good reserve grader at best from what I have seen. Needs a season at least in reggies to grow.

Waddle I agree with is Baz’s man. He is defensively poor for a backrower. Particularly when you have weak defence inside and outside.

 

[Shanked]

feel like hoppa to FB and allan to centre prob made more sense

Go look at @Aristidiz thread, perfectly highlights what a lot of us have seen since the trial. Multiple times Flanagan refuses to hit Jake/Allan out the back and instead takes the wrong option. The help is there, he just doesn't want to take it.

 

[Bulldogs09]

Oh my. Bunnies by 100

 

[707_2Belmore]

Nah, I think that's what Topine is there for mate

Oh ok. Wasn’t aware he could cover hooker. Cheers

 

[boysunleashme]

Our defence through the middle is going to be atrocious even more so with Jackson out

 

[Howie B]

Going off previous weeks
Left - Allan, Cotric, Elliott, Lewis
Right - Flanagan, Waddell, Hopoate, T. Katoa

Yep that's correct

Only change maybe swapping wingers sides
