What would be your best starting 17 if you made GF ps everyone being FIT apart from taylan may
It doesn't have Luke on the bench and only 1 of Peach or Salmon. The rest picks itselfWhat would be your best starting 17 if you made GF ps everyone being FIT apart from taylan may
For mine the only real question is about the last bench spot. Hosking, Smith and Leniu are the first three benchies picked. Im still not sure who I would have for the last spot, Salmon, Soni, Peach or Garner. Probably Soni to cover Kenny and give him a spell but that doesnt give us any cover for the backs. I think Peach and Salmon could spell Kenny and provide cover for outside back injuries and Garner offers some backs cover as well as being a pretty good bench backrower but leaves us without anyone to spell Kenny.
Its round 22 and we have no idea if Soni Luke can compete when it matters.I agree that is the 3 forwards on it.
Then you need a 4th guy that can cover the backs given they will get very minimal time.
The bench against the Storm would be my pick, Salmon is just too slow to cover the backs for long periods

He’s the best hooker at the club, it’s nonsense to suggest he’s not in our best 17.Its round 22 and we have no idea if Soni Luke can compete when it matters.

Not concerned at all, as I’ve said for the last few months, he’s tracking nicely, he’s defence, which is the only real thing holding him back, was quite good on the weekend.Surely even you'd be concerned if we needed him as the main hooker come finals. He simply isn't getting the minutes in first grade. They'd need to increase that over the next few weeks.
Bulldogs outscored Panthers 12 to 10 when Luke was on. Momentum tends to shift against us on a fairly regular basis when Luke comes on.
You would think a spark like him against one of the worst teams in the competition coming off the bench would really ignite our attack. But it didn't.
I started the season off thinking Luke was better than Kenny. But Kenny has improved as season went on. Luke hasn't IMO. Ivan might think we need him in our best 17. On his day he can be an asset. But I certainly wouldn't be feeling confident in him playing big minutes in the finals.

Calm your farm and let the club develop him correctly.
Mitch Kenny is buying us plenty of time.
