Will we break the record for most changes to a NRL team in 2 consecutive games ?

[bradtalo]

Round 1 next year we surely have to be breaking the record for most changes in 2 consecutive games - particularly from the last game one season to the first game of the following season.

As below I think there will only be 2 players the same from the starting 13 (so 11 changes) and only 5 the same in the 17 (12 changes)


ROUND 25 2021---------ROUND 1 2022
1 Nick Meaney-----------1 Matt Dufty
2 Corey Allan-------------2 JAC
3 Will Hopoate-----------3 Brent Naden
4 Aaron Schoupp---------4 Corey Allan
5 Jayden Okunbor--------5 Nick Cotric
6 Brandon Wakeham-----6 Matt Burton
7 Jake Averillo-------------7 BBO
8 Ava Seumanufagai------8 Paul Vaughan
9 Sione Katoa--------------9 Joshua Cook
10 Dylan Napa------------10 Luke Thompson
11 Jack Hetherington-----11 TPJ
12 Joe Stimson------------12 RFM
13 Josh Jackson-----------13 Josh Jackson

14 Corey Waddell---------14 John Asiata
15 Ofahiki Ogden---------15 Jack Hetherington
16 Chris Patolo------------16 Ava Seumanufagai
17 Jackson Topine---------17 Jake Averillo

What the fuck........

 

[bradyk]

There will be a lot of change from our round 1 team this year (and even our round 25 team for that matter).

12/17 players different (Dufty, JAC, Schoupp, Naden, Burton, Thompson, JMK, Vaughan, TPJ, BBO, Seumanufagai, Patolo)

Cotric centre -> wing
Averillo five-eighth -> halfback
Hetherington prop -> second row

Gus reckons Schoup will be fit, so he’ll probably hold. RFM doubtful early rounds. If fit, JMK will start with Cook on the bench because they like JMK’s defence. Halfback is up for grabs, I wouldn’t pencil anyone in yet - training and trials will decide. Bench and forwards could be some swapping around - again training and trials.

All too early really, could be some surprises - training and trials again.

Barrett will need to grow a pair and actually sit back and think before he picks his team. He needs to pick the best options in each position. He needs stop picking players because they are good blokes.

If he keeps picking his favourites that continually don’t perform. His days as a First Grade coach are over.

Barrett is the absolute key to success in 2022. His influence as a coach will decide both his and the Bulldogs fate.

I really like that side but what the fuck is Allen doing in the 17 let alone in the centres. Schoup or Alamoti will get the start before him.
Hope we piss him off during the offseason

 

[CroydonDog]

Only team that might match it is the drags. They just farewelled 10 players.

 

[Spoonman84]

I reckon mass changes from the last game of one season to the next would be very common….

I think Schoupp might be struggling to make it by round 1. They says his recovery will be 5 months. Alamoti hasn't played a game of NRL yet.

I think Allan will come good next year with better players around him (back to his Souths form)

I think it would be very rare though for a first grade team to have up to 11 changes to their first 13. It's basically a whole new team.
