gee they like Blaize Talagi

of all the 18 y o at the club they name him again, even tho he's a reserve

I assume they are using him as a utility role.

Put him at 5/8 Centre or fullback during the game.


I hope they have a second side that they bring on after halftime I don't want our players getting any un needed injuries.

Zac Lomax has gone from a centre wanting to play fullback to a winger. Fairly sure he won't last at St Merge

Merkin is on something silly like $750k. Next.

Don't want him at the Eels. Just stating that he won't last at St Merge if he is stuck on a wing

He's a pea-heart too.

I assume Matterson's place in the 17 is safe, and given he played last week is down for a reduced role this time.

But apart from that... I'd assume the side reflects BA's first choice lineup.

Great to see Hands named on the bench, and hope he's not the one to give way in Round 1 when Matterson hopefully squeezes someone else off the bench.

And interesting that coach has named four of the back-up backs on the extended bench - I assume he must want to take another look at them, perhaps in combos/different sides of the field to know what he can fall back on if needed.

I've thought for a while he would be best on the wing. He's good in the air and his go forward is very good.

If it's too much for wing it's too much for centre. They can at least get some value out of him if he can make 20 carries every week. On the wing he'll only have to make half a dozen tackles, at most.

He needs to take off some of the stars. He wont play some for 80 mins like guth or moses

In the Chooks v Bunnies trial, Turoa Williams played on the wing for the Billionaires and Noah Reed was up front for the Bunnies.

This bulldogs team is gash.

Taafe and Hutchinson are the worst 1 and 7 in the comp, and with that it doesn’t matter who else they have in the team.

Only Cronulla lacking any kind of direction or attack is keeping them in the game

 

[eels_fan]

Burton should/could cop a week for that too….

Williams came from Bulldogs SG Ball. He is the son of Jason Williams. Reed was signed from the Knights system.
