Bulldogs Team Named

[Join The Bandwagon]

Mitsubishi Electric Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes has made one change to the side that lost to the Sea Eagles last Saturday. Lee Te Maari, who makes his debut for the Club, will play off the bench, with Nick Kouparitsas moving back to Premier League.

Folkes said, “Lee’s form in Premier League has been great and this is just reward for his efforts.

“Nick Kouparitsas shouldn’t feel dejected going back to Premier League, he has done the job for us in first grade but has only had limited game time. I felt it was important for him to play more minutes to maintain his match fitness and it will be important for us when Origin time comes around and we will need his services then.”

Lee Te Maari 's form has been good enough to get him a gig in first grade but Shifty Sherwins form hasnt?

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Shifty has to have done something Major to piss off Folkes, from what I hear from Dogs fans.

Strong looking side, i think we have the edge out wide. Our bench looks a little stronger than theirs as well. Sherwin must have run over Folke's dog.

we face the 2 best packs in the NRL in consecutive weeks. Its a good test

 

[Utey]

Bulldogs by plenty.

 

[Eelectrica]

Can't believe Sherwin wasn't selected. Still could be a late inclusion though.

It must be something bad cause Sherwin has been killing it in premier league.
Not sure if he will be called up late but i doubt it.
Should be a good game anyway and hopefully a sellout.
good luck.

finch will do it, like a poodle on on pit bull

abslolute acid test...I hope we turn up as a unit.

 

[Hurriflatch]

Not that I wish injury upon a player but if Ben Roberts is unable to backup from the test it will be interesting to see if Sherwin makes the side.

If he still doesn't get picked then he might as well get a release cause he'll never play 1st grade at the dogs again.

Im confident. Whilst Canterbury have some great players they also have quite a few duds who imo if you pressure enough will f**k up big time.

I'm witcha man....big big test.

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

im not confident about this weeks game, its dissapointing not to see sherwin in FG, i have been hearing the same about folkes and sherwin been in conflict also.

whatever the situation may be, they should sit down and talk it out, no point of punishing the team and fans, sherwin belongs in FG!, we are not organised without him

other than that, good luck for this week guys, should be a good game.

You must have forgotten Finch in your team :sarcasm:

yer but you guys have roberts to even things out. We have a dud 5-8, you have a dud halfback, exept the difference is you dud halfback will have to back up, and will play even worse. Its a test, which player (timmy or Holdworth) is less effected by inept partners. On a real note, the forward battle will be tough, but i think we have you out wide, more flare and speed. Tonga is you best player, and he struggling still. Last year your forwards carried you, with the loss of asotasi and myles, i don't know if they can still afford to carry the team. Not top say that you guys arn't a class act, still have an international forward pack, and Hindy Caylo and Fui are goin to have to be on their game.

 

[Redback71]

will we win? yes or no? cause i just dont know. if we play a good game and dont make any errors and get repeat sets, then we should win for sure, cause the dogs seem to tire out in the back end of the game.

 

[Twizzle]

geez, how bad is their bench

Cleal is a bunnies reject as well as a Manly reject

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

I know man but hopefully there isn't already damage done by the time he comes on.
