Mundine was quoted today saying he’s s centre and will go to another level playing there

Does anyone take any notice of what Mundine says today

SBW did

Lol please don't start with the "move this back to fullback" thing again, we literally had this same discussion with Montoya last season on here when a fair few on TK suggested he play there lol.

Smith is killing it on the wing and there's no reason why he can't be crucial for us from there moving forward. He has a great frame for a winger, his kick returns are strong, his carries from our end are smart and strong and his finishing is amazing. His attributes basically make him the ideal winger, lets not try and manufacture something else when we have something that could be so perfect..there's also plenty of opportunities for him to come off his wing in todays game, he could easily roam around like Rapana or push in at centre at times.

Hopefully Meaney gets the 1 next season and develops well, we need the extra pace at the back. Hoppa and Holland should probably be the centres and that then leaves the final wing spot open for Crichton, Montoya of whoever else pops up. Lewis should have one of the halves spots locked up and Foran will probably get the other until he's injured again. Hopefully Segs does come in at hooker for us to give us a little more experience and spark at hooker.

Here here well said

Wingers are important now it's not the 1970's 80's anymore lol

 

[AucklandDog]

Remis aint a fullback. We had this discussion about Holland, Montoya & Mbye

Dont change something thats not broken.

Remis has been excellent on the wing and if he does move to another position later on down the track, it will be at right centre and thats only if he gets bigger

Hoppa has been fantastic at the back and the only thing he lacks is pace, and that will be more evident if he moves into the centres as he really lacks lateral movement and speed.

Hoppa would work at 1 if we added more spark out of dummy half and hopefully Cogger adds something as well. Its a really difficult one for next season as lichaa,jmk & foran are not the answers and we will be heavily crippled with the loss of both Morris bros.regardless of what ppl bang on about in regards to their age.

No one knows what our cap situation is like but hopefully there is something available to nab a hooker & two outside backs. Would we be that lucky to have enough cap space to nab Segeyaro, Oates & Maumalo? Who knows

1. Hoppa
6. Lewis
7. Cogger
9. present from the heavens

 

[Dogtime]

1. ?
6. Kieran Foran
7. Lachlan Lewis
9. ?
who we get at fullback and hooker will determine where we will finish

Hopoate sets up so much of our play. Hes our best option at 1. Liccha not going too bad at 9 either...his service has been pretty good for a while now. Segyaro would offer more speed out of dummy half but not convinced his passing game is that much better than Liccha. Just ask the Sharks.

 

[Dogtime]

Smith would go ok at fb,but is an outstanding winger.!! Hoppa is safe as houses an always will be in the 1 and barba would deff get the job if home coming lol

Lewy and cogger as it stands

Jmk or seggy

We would never offer Barba another contract. Do you muppets forget that it was he that asked for a release?Once bitten twice shy lads.

Mundine was quoted today saying he’s s centre and will go to another level playing there

I hate the loud mouth but I hope he is right for once.

Lichaa not going too bad?? did you watch the prick play yesterday? my Daughter can pass a football better than this pretender.

 

[Snowmann]

I honestly think he is wasted on the wing. If not FB, centre at least.

If all other option fail, I’d like to see him at FB one day, but let’s be honest, nobody in the team finishes off those 3 tries yesterday, except maybe the Morris boys, and even then, maybe only Brett a few years younger. Don’t also forget, wingers are the new Centres when it comes to money.

 

[Downhill Skier]

Lewis and Foran might be in the halves for about 2 weeks until Foran gets injured again. I would honestly prefer to give Cogger a go in the halves and put Meaney at Fullback shifting Hoppa to the centres

 

[Papa Joe]

I reckon Cogger might even be worth a crack at 9. As long as he can handle the defence side of it & will also give us a kicking option from dummy half .

1.Hoppa
6.Lewis
7.Foran
9.Cogger
14.JMK

 

[speedy2460]

Little doubt Foran will be in the halves if he is fit. When hes fit hes the best in the business.
Foran and Lewis will be a formidable combination. I was very impressed with Ofahiki Ogden yesterday. He has fitted in nicely and plays the Dean Pay style of footy.

 

[KiwiDog7]

1. Meaney

6. Lewis
7. Foran

9. Seggy (if confirmed) otherwise Lichaa (shoot me now)

Hoppa to Centre

Mad Monday aftermath continues
Word is that the Bulldogs’ Mad Monday antics are only the tip of the iceberg at the club.

I’m hearing that the relationship between coach Dean Pay and injured halfback Kieran Foran has become untenable.

The pair are barely talking and Pay is hopeful that Foran will walk away from his rich contract for next season.

But Foran is telling mates he has no intention of going anywhere and will happily play in the NSW Cup and collect his hefty back-ended contract money.

The Bulldogs tried to medically retire Foran - who played just 12 games this season - but have, to date, been unable to.

Significantly, of the 12 games that Foran played, the Bulldogs won a mere three - an indication of his fall from grace after being one of the game’s elite playmakers a few years ago.

As of this moment, with Woolford unsigned and segeyaro rumours just rumours.

1. Hopoate
6. Lewis
7. Cogger
9. Lichaa/JMK

Woodford totally overrated,that’s why he was dropped for the game against Wyong,too many important tackles missed.

 

[Dogna88]

I reckon Cogger might even be worth a crack at 9. As long as he can handle the defence side of it & will also give us a kicking option from dummy half .

And when foran breaks?
