OFFICIAL | GAME DAY Round 5 | Bulldogs vs Roosters

[piggy]

lol Harrison Edwards on the bench and Hutch still named as half back...seriously only a real flogging might make Cirro wake up because he has lost the plot with team selections

 

[NPC83]

Hayward, Sexton and Xerri named in NSW Cup while Patolo, Faamausili not named.
Looking at the Bulldogs side - and comparing that with the opposition - surely bringing in one of these bigger guys is a serious option?

Having all three of Curran, Mann and Salmon just seems to be too light against a side like the Roosters.

I think Hughes might have a short stint to start and Curran moves into the FR for him with KK filling the edge spot. Harry Edwards has FG experience but I’d prefer other options.

 

[rexest]

Losing Preston has exposed a serious lack of forward depth.
This will be the biggest test so far of Gus's 'cultural change'.

Lolwot? Entire league world knew we were coming into this season thin in the forwards and you think losing preston has just exposed this? dafuq

 

[John Matrix]

I’ll reserve my judgment to after the game, trying to stay positive.

 

[GA45]

Tbh keen to see Hughes start see what he offers with bigger minutes

Lets hope it’s not a 15min start and then sitting on the bench for the last 65 mins

 

[dawso047]

So Hughes is now starting? Why? Edwards has been recalled before Faamasuali, why?
Xerri and Sexton probably left out because of deficiencies in defence. Why not pick Faamasuali considering Hughes and Knight only play small minutes as well?
Having said all that, all I'm suprised about is the Edwards recall and playing Curran on an edge when our middle forwards already lack mongrel, minutes and go forward.

Man that Roosters team is stacked. Hopefully the expected wet weather keeps us in the game.

 

[cntrbry bnkstwn]

I might have a week off from the footy this week.

suzuka is on at least

Yep exactly. I'm not sure what people expect. They have the best roster in the comp. Panthers dusted them up because they are the best team with the best system in the comp.

I guess the frustration is building because we have sucked for so long.

We will probably be 1 and 5 after next week when we play the storm but the draw hasn't been great to us. The problem is that the season will probably be gone by the time we start to play some of the weaker teams

 

[djdeep4172]

Liam knight is horrible. Surely we have some better options?

 

[Cheng]

You can't have Knight and Edwards on the bench together

One or the other please

 

[Dogs4eva13]

Of course we have to play the roosters when they are 100% fit. Was hoping lidsuy Collins would mis another week.

 

[MountMontoya]

Hate to say it but I reckon this is going to blow out... Souths have been putrid yet found a few holes in our defence.. the pack will be tired of working hard for turnovers

It will be a very low scoring game due to the predicted conditions on Friday

 

[w00t]

We really needed that win against a weakened Souths.

On paper this is a complete mismatch even when we are at full strength

 

[Mitch Connor]

This draw is bullshit lol

 

[UmoGus]

Roosters gonna fuck us so hard

 

[djdeep4172]

In all honesty who is the idiot drawing the bulldogs almost with the complete top 8 excluding the titans?
Our mob need to find another level and that’s in our attack.
We have the capacity to upset teams ,let’s knock over the roosters then storm.

 

[cookieman909]

Also where’s this heritage jersey there meant to be wearing this week?

 

[ElMagicElMasri]

CC is cooked

Are you finally turning?? Welcome to the dark side

 

[Bulldog1966]

He’s been out 4 years. Is getting better game by game tbf

Wait..the "super coaches" opinion may be incorrect, no way!!
