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

[Kempsey Dog]

He shouldn't be a 6, plain & simple.

Agree. If he eventually is be moved to centre, it will have a huge domino effect on our backline.

We would be a way better team with Burton at left centre.

 

[Powerslide]

Hopefully Connor tracy and Kiraz are ok for rd 1. Otherwise this a good side.

I would suggest that Tracey and Kiraz will get a run in NSW Cup before coming back into 17.

If we win our Rd1 game it may take a little longer.

That is unless Taffe and/or Xerri shit the bed on Friday night.

 

[Raikkonen]

There are plenty of points in that back line, if they get enough ball the score line could be anything.


Always a Bulldog

It's the getting them good ball part that i'm not convinced about. Maybe Hutch playing both side of the ruck will help. Burton can just be a decoys runner

If Xerri recaptures his 2019 form and Burton flops at 6, we have a very expensive utility because Crichton definitely ain’t getting displaced

 

[battered sav]

To get good ball to the outside backs the middles need to create some space. Quick play the balls second phase or line breaks through the middle or all three at once. Looking forward to seeing how that happens.
The first half last week I don't recall seeing a well constructed try. The ball from Mahoney was done well but was off the cuff. Will be tougher up the middle this week.

 

[Bob dog]

The Xerri hard ons FFS..

Kiraz and Critta will be ur centers, JAC and Wilso your wingers.

Why wouldnt you keep bringing on Bronson who is a walk up?
Kiraz as a centre is last on the list, he's a potential Dally M winger

 

[King Gus]

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

He is fit he has been training since the mid January, there not risking him yet same as kiraz.

Yeah imagine the crying on here if they played and were reinjured in a trial …

So catching the ball and passing it to the next bloke makes you best on ground these days? He only had 41 run metres.

I agree Salmon was not a threat running the ball. His passing was crisp and he worked hard in defence. I am still not convinced he just be starting at 13 ahead of Curran, possibly even Edwards. I wouldn't start Morrin either though. At best Salmon has shaded Curran for 13 at this stage.

Another person that has a problem understanging English because nowhere did I say that he wasn't good. I literally said that he did impressive things.

Yeah okay Shania Twain.. you sound real impressed...

Salmon wasn't even top 3 last week.

We have been trying to play that style with the lock as a link man for a while. Looks like we may have somebody who can finally do it. I would have preferred Curran but maybe Ciro is seeing if IBS dog can do it again against better opposition.

Kiraz on the trot pod cast said he was ready for the second trail but they don’t want to risk it, he will be there round one

Just makes sense.

.

Kitione Kautoga is a chance of playing his way into that bench rotation.. will help the size factor issue (if CC sees it as an issue).

I think he has to be in the team after his showing last Thursday. He was aggressive and powerful. We need all those types of forwards we can get!

I mean its a pretty solid side, I haven't been able to say that since forever.

wouldn't surprise me if that's our team for round 1

might be best to give kiraz and Tracey a game or 2 in nsw cup to get some match fitness before coming into the nrl side

 

[bricktamland]

Salmon was best on field last week so I'm not upset he's starting over Curran.

With Kiraz (?) and Tracey (still) injured, besides Taaffe at fullback I like the 17.

One thing I noticed about salmon is he seems very switched on and composed. Break out season imo

 

[Bulldogsteve]

He is not moving from 6 anytime soon

 

[ILiveForDib]

If Poasa holds up he could prove to be a gem signing considering most expected him to be depth at best. Knights better than what he dished up can certainly serve a role of the bench if he proves it was a blip. Salmon/curran in rotation, Mann is a quality utility and if Hughes can have a breakout season the foward situation looks a tad better.
