Burton to fullback, Bronson to centre.....
Have said all along fullback is his best position and still allows him to kick if needed..

 

[The DoggFather]

Exactly bro, it looks like you have the same problem sleeping as I do, I understsnd knowing your past problems.

I'd pay good money to sleep 6-8 hours uninterrupted bro

 

[sifter6]

I think perham was to blame for the majority

Agree.

 

[sifter6]

1. Crighton
2. Wilson
3. Xerri
4. Tracey
5. Kiraz
6. Burton
7. BBO

Did you miss the Reserve Grade game? I don't think BBO is the answer.

The only numbers that really mattered;

Completions, Bulldogs 72% 24/33 Parramatta 89% 41/46
Possession Parramatta 59% v Bulldogs 41%
Minutes in possession Parramatta 30:13 Bulldogs 20:59
Average Play the Ball Speed Parramatta 3.42s Bulldogs 3.55s

And the major reason for the above;
Errors Parramatta 4 Bulldogs 13 (with 8 players contributing)

I don't give fark who the halves are, they are going to be useless if the above continues.


Always a Bulldog

I don't think he'll change much until he sees the game plan he used against melbourne in the fist trial can't/won't work. This has clearly been the plan since the utillity spree started

He'll stick with Hutch and Burton, play Hutch both sides, get him straighter, Burton left and use Salmon for shape out of first receiver. Curran on the bench for impact/starch. Mann for ruck speed/ball playing, insert other as large as are available forwards, Hughes plus someone else

Until they catch and hold the ball for repeated sets to test the theory, he won't change because he doesn't know if it's the wrong plan yet. In any science experience you control as much as you can and vary one thing. We didn't control shit on the weekend and while I hate dissing on the refs, he was awful. So there's no way of knowing which of them is the problem, yet. Except maybe Taffe needs a spell to get his confidence back if Tracey is good to go.

100% @TwinTurbo

You can't make change on these stats unless you make wholesale change, after Rd 1

Didn't hold the ball, couldn't build pressure, did too much tackling. They offloaded the shit out of us cause we were too tired to bind. The list goes on

We made 51% more tackles (our own fault). parra were 14/14 at one stage I think I saw on TV. They should have beat us by 40. I don't rate them for shit and hate losing to them but our defensive starch was much better. We would have conceded double that score in the past few years.

Just fuck burton off from 5/8 sexton and hutch for mine burton to centre with xerri creightton to fullback kiraz wing taffe out

 

[GA45]

I’d play Crichton right centre & Burton left centre. Would be the best centre combo in the NRL.

Imagine the whinging on here about how much we are paying our centres ….especially when we have two duds in the halves in Hutch and Sex.

 

[Freakzilla]

You left out O'Neill?

Too early & they aren't even playing him in NSW Cup yet sadly.

 

[Freakzilla]

The people who voted for Burton to stay in the halves are gluttons for punishment.

 

[berries1935]

There will not be any changes in the halves, not after 1 round. CC can’t go 1 game and change everything if this is what they have been working in on preseason. Even more so considering we had little opportunity in attack. I think Curran is a good change to start as thought he was good

 

[Kelpie03]

Burton to fullback, Bronson to centre.....
Have said all along fullback is his best position and still allows him to kick if needed..

Both Burton and Critta are paid big money to play 5/8 and Chritta at FB, they are both out and outright centers.
I could live with Burton at FB although I think Critta would be the the better one at FB.

 

[LordSidious66]

Now people are realising that we have been badly treated by the refs?

This has been my thoughts exactly .. doesn’t matter who plays where, they’re never going to compete against any team with only 41% possession / 13 errors ..

CC won’t change much, all focus will be on completions / ball handling ..

He’ll go with ..

1. Taaffe
2. Kiraz
3. Tracey
4. Critta
5. Wilson
6. Burton
7. Hutch.

16. Faamausili
17. Patolo

 

[Scoooby]

sexy and drew for Mine. Burtons washed up ex panther, flick him off an try something new. Toby brings far more intensity when he’s on the field, and creates/looks for more opportunities !!
