2019 Rd2: Parramatta v Bulldogs LIVE GAME DAY thread March 24th

[84 Baby]

MUST WIN! 2-0 would be massive.

Niukore was my joke you f**king thief

[Gronk]

Bring back the 13 import rule * !

 

[84 Baby]

Bring back the Craven Mild try target

Hilditch was hooker?

 

[Gazzamatta]

Hilditch was hooker?

Yep. Played a lot of hooker before switching to prop. Glenn West was a good player. Transferred from The Pennys. Had a crop of frizzy hair and was lightening on his feet.
Those were the days

 

[Gronk]

Hilditch was hooker?

Played for Australia at hooker YY.

Were teams limited to a certain number of imports or did RLW just like to call the merkins out?

No there was a 13 import rule across the grades. The rest had to be juniors.

No Tepai pics in the captains run.

So unless they are playing silly buggers, I expect

Parramatta Eels
1. Clinton Gutherson (c)
2. Maika Sivo
3. Josh Hoffman
4. Brad Takairangi
5. Blake Ferguson
6. Dylan Brown
7. Mitch Moses
8. Daniel Alvaro
9. Reed Mahoney
10. Junior Paulo
19. Oregon Kaufusi
12. Marata Niukore
11. Shaun Lane

Interchange
14. Jaeman Salmon
15. Tim Mannah (c)
16. Kane Evans
17. David Gower

I’ve put Kaifusi on the edge as a guess. Gower could play there too.

 

[Bazal]

If Tep is out, surely Gower (or Oregon I suppose) goes to lock rather than taking a line-runner off the edge

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I do like to see an underdog get up but there's something about the Bulldogs that puts me off. Parra for me.

 

[Eelectrica]

March to the grand final continues.
I mean. at the end of this round we'll be one of the four undefeated teams left.

Photo 34 (the team huddle), looks like Moeroa on the left of Lane

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I just noticed Kaufusi is playing Flegg right now.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Kaufusi is in a few photos and team huddle, but none of Hoff. Maybe Salmon is moving into the starting line up in place of Hoff with Kaufusi onto the bench.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I just noticed Kaufusi is playing Flegg right now.

Well there goes my bloody theory!!

 

[Bazal]

FFS

 

[Incorrect]

Parra 1-17....no changes

 

[Gazzamatta]

Played for Australia at hooker YY.

I think Hilditch was the center man in the flying wedge almost producing a try. Was it the 1976 GF V Manly?
