OFFICIAL | PRE-GAME Trial No. 2 - Bulldogs vs Sharks - Friday 8pm BSG

[CrittaMagic69]

If Cobbo can transition to centre there is no reason Kiraz can’t.

I have slight doubts about Cobbo but you'd be crazy not to give him a run there and see how how he handles it.

 

[Mak Dogs]

Was that the game he killed it against Parra or another?

It was against the broncos at Suncorp

If Cobbo can transition to centre there is no reason Kiraz can’t.

A lot easier to do it in a top side and fullback to centre is an easier transition too, Cobbo is a fullback just that he has Reece in front of him there.

Not against us seeing Kiraz in the centres though

Canterbury fans are in for a thrilling double-header at Belmore Sports Ground this Friday evening, as the Rabbitohs first take the field against the Roosters at 6pm before the locals rise to challenge Cronulla at 8pm.

After a convincing win over the Melbourne Storm in Round 1 of the NRL's Pre-Season Challenge, Head Coach Cameron Ciraldo has called on some big names to test the squad's strength against a formidable Sharks side in Round 2.

Indigenous All Stars champions, Josh Addo-Carr, Josh Curran and Bailey Biondi-Odo return to the squad this week while marquee recruit Stephen Crichton will play his first game in Canterbury colours.

Drew Hutchison has held down his starting position alongside Matt Burton in the halves. Viliame Kikau also makes a start to his 2024 campaign and keep an eye out for Kurt Mann, who, alongside Curran, will make his Bulldogs debut from the bench.

Very good.

 

[DFLWatto]

Full team boys, lets goooo..

Also, sexton on reserves. Interesting.

Interested to see how Poasa goes starting too, he was huge last week, but I've heard his tank isn't great.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

No Tracey, warra 100% fit by Christmas for him.

[KiwiDog7]

And Curran on bench with Mann and Salmon starts at 13

Hmmm

 

[KiwiDog7]

Knight no where to be seen

 

[Freakzilla]

Salmon at lock ahead of Curran is interesting. Sexton not starting is a loss on CC.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Bet Curran is stoked to be on the bench. Sexton hard done by also... Burton better aim up and start fucking talking and playing like a genuine half.

 

[Menteek]

And Curran on bench with Mann and Salmon starts at 13

Hmmm

I like that. Let’s see how it goes. I’m pretty excited to see how Critta does now in our colours especially after how he was at Penrith. If you
Look at it we are deadset on par with Cronulla just the middle is slightly weaker. I’m seeing us eat meters from our backline similar to Penrith’s system. Might be a god damn good match

 

[DFLWatto]

Also awesome to see that both of us are full squad basically. So this will be a good test to see how we are travelling.
No more "reserves team though" bullshit.

 

[DoggiesUtd]

no kiraz ay

 

[Moon Dog]

Knight not being named is interesting

 

[DFLWatto]

no kiraz ay

fuck I knew I was missing something, is he injured?

 

[CrittaMagic69]

And Curran on bench with Mann and Salmon starts at 13

Hmmm

Should I be dropping Kiraz from my SC team?

 

[DoggiesUtd]

i no hes coming back from that back injury but doubt he starts season with no trial run
def hurts for supercoach purposes

 

[T-Rocket]

Salmon looks to have played himself into starting
