Who should be the Bulldogs halves for Round 2?

[Robbothedestroyer]

Will never happen but
1 tracey
6 taaffe
7 sexton
13 hutchinson

 

[John Matrix]

Matty Johns just said that Burton should be playing left centre & not 6.

Everyone can say it to the cows come home, doubt he will ever play out of position.

Him playing 6 is him playing out of position.

My team for R.2 would be: taking into account that the fox is out.
(1) Chriten. (we need to strengthen our spine first of all).
(2) Skelton.
(3) Xerri.
(4) Burton. ( Penrith wanted him to play in the centers) If he dosent want to for us he can look for another club.
(5) Kiraz.
(6) Hutcheson. (can kick the ball, dont know if Tracy is fit).
(7) Sexton.
(8) King.
(9) Mahony.
(10) Poasa.
(11) Kickau.
(12) Preston.
(13) Curan.
(14) Hayward, (I realy like what I've seen from him in the cup on Sunday).
(15) Hughes.
(16) Katonga.
(17) Salmon. (can play in the backs if needed).

Agree. Tracey fit throw him in as 5/8 as first option. Not too confident in Hutch/Sexton pairing myself.

But Ciro won't be changing the team and searching for improvement. He is a sticker coach and not concerned about week to week wins...it's all about the long term rebuild to be celebrated in a few years when we have all bases covered. Feels like these are the throwaway years as part of the CC/Gus master plan.

I could be wrong tho. He may pick the best players for their positions next week and try some tweeking.

Nothing will change for around 3 months just like the Perham failure. Sadly the season will be done and dusted by then.

 

[jordansaba]

it will be burton and hutch bro cmon be for real

Ciraldo will click us into gear, he will learn from the mid season slump last season.

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

Too early for Papalii and O’Neill???? [emoji23][emoji23]

1 - Wilson
6 - Taaffe
7 - Hutchison

Burton & Critta Centres.
Curran Lock
Kiraz & Xerri wing
Salmon 14

 

[Kennelnator]

Sexton is no Johns, but needs to be the #7 until the young pup is ready in a few years....we can't have this chopping and changing consistently in the halves year in, year out

ffs stop these musical chairs in the halves

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Playing centre isn't playing out of position

 

[a dogs life]

6. Hutch
7. Sexton

Don’t disagree however I think Ciraldo will not change the team unless injury forced it, for at least the first month.

 

[KiwiDog7]

CC isn’t changing the halves but he may as well swap them and have Hutchinson play left seeing he knows how to unlock Kikau

You won't be wrong, C C is very predictable in his selections, if he dose'nt care about wining as many games as possible, he should be sacked ASAP, stuff the long term plans, the more games we lose this year the harder it will be in 25--26 --27 etc.

The current roster and rep players will quickly become disillusioned as their reputations go out the window if that's his thinking. There's no urgency so it seems a reasonable explanation.

 

[D- voice]

honestly it should be
1 Tracey
2 Wilson
3 crighton
4 burton
5 kiraz
6 hutch
7 sexton

would add fox for Wilson once back from injury

This could happen only after all the chances fail to turn Burton into a 5/8.

 

[DogsOfWar1704]

6. Burto
7. Sexy

 

[Dognacious]

Burton can still kick from centre, they would just be more cross-field, which might be more threatening than his current straighter kicks that are not getting any turnovers or causing any pressure.

 

[Kung fu man]

Did anyone see how many trys went down sextons side in cup yesterday?

He missed 3 tackles

 

[Indiandog]

it is stupid for people to think the assistant would change the halves combination after game 1 that he worked on and prepared in the pre season.
