Woohoo footy is back!

Bulldogs forwards look weak IMO.

Bench looks ok though, and they're probably fielding the shortest wing combo in the game, that can't be good.

 

[aids]

Ben Roberts has to be the luckiest man in league, he has been unreliable on and off the field.

Ben Roberts has to be the luckiest man in league, he has been unreliable on and off the field.

I've said this before, personally I think he and Holdsworth are confidence players, very good when paired with a quality half (i.e. Sherwin), but lacking when they've got noone to play off. I think both/either will have a good season beside Noddy.

Bryson Goodwin isn't that short is he? :?

 

[renouf]

yeah dogs pack is a bit iffy.. Hannant should go alright though

 

[1999]

not a bad side, ill definately have to stick with manly at 13+ though

Roberts/Holdsworth are just holding the spot for the first month or so while Barba is eased in. He (Barba) impressed in the trial I saw and will start at 6 soon enough.

 

[aussies1st]

Dogs forward pack looks like tackling machines don't know about go forward with them though.

 

[coolumsharkie]

What role is Ben Barba playing? Is he going to be a reserve hooker or swap with Roberts? He is a quality player of the future no doubt.

 

[Timmah]

I dare say Moore wants a back up if Roberts turns to putty, which is entirely possible. That said, not sure there'll be a need for him.

Utai's been great in the trials so I'm surprised to see him dropped for Goodwin.

 

[kia ora storm]

Manly will slaughter the Dogs having seen this line up...

 

[Timmah]

Don't forget they're already missing Wolfman and possibly even Stewart - that's some strikepower in the backs they will sorely miss.

 

[MANLYMAGIC08]

Not too bad a side.. looks very different this season!
I reckon it'll be a very close one.

 

[Tom155]

is Utai injured?

 

[mattyg]

Kite will give us a bit of go forward off the bench...hope Hannant can play close to 80 minutes though coz i think we need it, lol

A pack containing Hannant, Ennis, Ryan & Stag and you call them weak?

I reckon there's some decent players in that lot.

 

[RufusRex]

Utai/Nanai?

Well there is some tackling there .. not so much in the go forward stakes
