Trial Team News Bulldogs VS Knights

[Ant2611]

Great to see Flanno no where even remotely close to starting

I want him to play in the trials to show up his flaws again and again

 

[Ant2611]

NRL site shows Topine last spot on the bench replacing WADDLEMEISTER

Yeah!!!!!!!

Love the balance of that forward pack, exactly how I was hoping we'd line up in round 1.

Can anyone provide the inside word on this Declan Casey dude? Any good? Who would you compare him to?

 

[Shreksno1]

Someone should make Mutt Dafty sign

 

[kmr07]

We've got four out who can all play wing. Naden, jac, burns, Allen. I'm a bit surprised that Casey is in front of the two wingers named on bench.

Also add Lumelume to the list

 

[NQ Dog]

qld market mate, simple, when the dolphins come in they will share it.
going to a game live, id rather sundays imo

I'd prefer a Sunday arvo game. Just like the old days.

Naden should end up on the wing but at this stage we're very thin, Okunbor as a starting winger is hardly something to be confident about when he still struggles with basic wing play. Burns as a centre would be okay but I wouldn't want him on the wing, Allan I don't even know what to think of anymore. We also need genuine power on the wing with JAC and Dufty being undersized.

 

[CQDog]

Far from it. He will be the heir apparent to Jacko.

If he is he would at least make the bench for a trial game . Not hating but we have to face that he isnt the player people are saying he is.

Declan Casey - was average in Flegg at fullback (occasional good pass) and was between ordinary and embarrassingly terrible in NSW Cup last year. Someone at the club must rate him - the fact he was originally signed (from Sharkies??) given a fulltime preseason to train and now selected in a fg trial. Hopefully does well.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

Will RFM be ready for R1?

No. Gus said he's looking at round 3.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

I don't get the hate for Casey. From what i've seen, he has potential. He has a preseason (his first with top squad?) under his belt now, and may have improved enough to impress coach. That said, we have a few wingers out like others have said.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

Where's that fijian that plays in the halves at? Haven't heard anything about him lately. Think his name is Peni maybe. Edit: It's Penioni Tagituimua I was thinking of. Anyone know if he's still training?

Well we have how many outside backs not playing this trial? Jac, naden, burns, lumelume, Allen. We don't have many other options, it doesn't mean he's the next player called up in NRL once the season starts.

It's mostly his hands are the issue from what I've seen. He is quick, agile and athletic but has some trouble under the high ball, especially when his confidence is down.

 

[berries1935]

Alamoti being given every chance to debut

He could be out massive surprise packet for us. He could be anything

Agree with all that - could be that the club sees more than what we supporters have seen - confidence can be a huge factor - as i said hope he goes well.

Yeah mate, not having a dig at you by any means. I re-read it and see how it might come across that way. My bad!

All good - just opinions - just want it to be a good year for whoever wears the doggies jersey - even hope Flanagan proves most of us wrong - be good to go into games not believing that the only hope of being competitive is if the opposition has a bad day.

Agree. A Nic Cotric type player sure would be handy...
