Unconfirmed Rumour: Hickey possibly out, Roberts to centre?

[Dawgfather]

Guys lets remember this rumour is unconfirmed. No official statement on bulldogs.com.au which is what we should all base our assumptions on.

Lets wait till Saturday night eh.

 

[MP4 - Eedz]

Id have Roberts outside Hazem not Utai, for a few reasons. 1. Roberts has a mean right foot step, much more affecting running left to right and 2. Hazem can handle a situation better the Utai if Benny makes a mistake

Coach Eedz has spoken

 

[MP4 - Eedz]

Folkes would be crazy to confirm the change now and give Elliot a chance to change his strategy

Better to play mind games

 

[MP4 - Eedz]

if hickey is out i dont get y steve folkes would not opt for a specialist centre. it would be less of a risk then playing another player out of position

The so called specialist centres which we recruited Davui, Tuatara etc turned out to be duds

Was at training today and Roberts played left centre next to Utai all training long. SBW to start in the forwards and McIlwain to go back to the bench. Also, I think Myles will start for Armit.

 

[Promiscuous]

That is a good team. i like it that williams has moved from center. I much rather him in the forward pack. Hope this is true. WHERE IS THE CONFIRMATION????

 

[Promiscuous]

Roberts deserves another crack at first grade. If this is true. What an experience for him. In only his 3rd or 4th game in first grade and already playing in a finals game. Good Luck to roberts if this thread continues to be true.

I hope to god this is true, dont kid yourselves guys, with our injuries atm our attacking options are becoming a little thin and if sherwin and sonny dont fire aleast he might liven things up.

 

[Promiscuous]

Benny Roberts is a gun!!

 

[Promiscuous]

I agree with "dawg". We need some stike in the centers. Williams has got no idea what to do on the left hand side. lets hope that benny does.

 

[Gabs]

All I can say is that I saw him play left centre for the whole training session. SBW was playing closer to the ruck in the ballwork drills.

Also, I said to Benny as he was getting in Sherwin's new red commodore to leave - "good luck to our newest Centre". He just smiled and said: "Thanks mate".

 

[Horse]

hahaa nice, i like the changes (if they do happen) primarily because if we want to win the premiership, Williams must be in the pack and also good to see Roberts have another crack in the big yard.

I am a great fan of Roberts & I believe he may give the DOGS the impact needed just like he did against the Warriors. C'mon the BULLDOGS 2006 beckons you for the premiership

Shifty and Benny are bum buddies so bad.

Lol Us with someone as highly regarded saying that people might think they're gay... They're not are they?

LOL no but they turn up to all kinds of functions together.

I remember the season launch in march Benny's parents dropped him and Shifty there.

 

[Z-Dizzle]

^^ Yea i heard about them always doing stuff like that. Just like to comment that theres nothing wrong with being gay...

If Holdsworths leaves would be good to have those 2 very tight, i beleive all players should be close to their closest player playing wise- For example Utai and Tonga helps with the communication and so

 

[..shurrup..]

would love to see roberts in the pack.....its about time

 

[PHELPSY]

Good to see Roberts bak in the team and espically SBW in the pack!

 

[_G-Dog_]

has roberts ever played centre before? seems a little small for centre? Also it would seem we would be susceptible in defence with utai and roberts on one side together

Yea, I recently spotted the two of them a Mcarthur Square eating together :rolleyes:
