would love to have a few more bulldogs in there after the game. if we can match our last 2 weeks performances and the dragons make it hard for themselves we can definitely win, just going to be tough, bias to pick the bulldogs to win with my head, but as long as their is a chance i'll always pick with my heart, let's go boys!

Definitely been down on form, though with the time he was out with injury, he should of started the year in Cup.

IMO he is not a backrower at all. His best position is on the bench and coming on at prop/lock
Hard to say when he has always played back row. But he has an awkward body shape. If he put a few kgs on he would make a good prop.

Dogs 1-17 as per first post. Fualalo and Montoya late withdrawls.
Dragons 1-17. Kerr, Field, Allgood and Pearson late withdrawls.

Huge bench for them, plus a big forward pack. Only chance we have is running them tired and wearing the forwards out, then letting our nimble players cut them up the middle.

Problem is McGregor will have the Dragons on the lookout for Okunbor up the middle and our game plan. Bellamy wasn't prepared for our onslaught, but Mary will be.

True, me too. But you can't replace your starting prop with a back rower. Especially when we do t have such a massive pack as it is.
We have a wasted bench spot in Lichaa, I know its been done to death but its true. I've said before, how many teams have 2 hookers in the lineup which sub each other out, thats my only criticism of Pay. We need 4 forwards on the bench

Mary is a massive dud

Last weeks game plan worked pretty good and we should stick to it, treat the ball like its made of gold and possession should go our way.

I'm not feeling it today, hope I'm wrong. Think today is the valley after a little peak over the past 2 weeks.

Don't know if our young team can maintain consistency. Hope they go in with the same mentality after the first 2 games. Lewis is Key.

If our spine can aim up we win. Execution will be key. Their pack is nothing special Il back our pack any day of the week to at least match it with them. But their halves have a lot more experience. Big test for lewis and cogger today. This should be a cracker.

I disagree. Sure, we may not need two hookers, but with the way it is with HIAs these days you need a utility.
