Round 1 team vs Bulldogs

[Panther Pete]

That NSW cup backline is ridiculous

You've got that right!!

I like the team. I'd imagine Mansour will take Jennings spot when he comes back. I'd probably like Cartwright starting over Brown who would have good impact off the bench but can't complain.

Really, really good seeing Wallace and Taylor back. Peachy will be handy off the bench too.

Need RCG to fire and put pressure on Kite to be dropped when Plum comes back.

On trial form I think Kite could go ok as a bench prop this year. He had a dud 2014 but could be good with 30 mins a game and hopefully some more support from the rest of our props.

Simmons wasn't left out. He's way down the pecking order now.

Simmons has a quad injury.

I can't see Yeo or 1 of the props playing. Hot day big Bulldogs team we will need the speed around the ruck later in the game.

Crazy that we have 3 players that played Ball last year in NSW Cup. Whether they stay there come Sunday is another matter.

Not the team I was expecting but a decent Rnd 1 team. BMM playing prop in NSW Cup probably shows where his future lies. Unlucky not to be in the 1st Grade side IMO.

Who is Fisher-Harris in NSW Cup?

He I think is from the Qld Cup.

Or whatever it's called.

Simmons has a quad injury.

He looked a bit dusty after his tackle on Semi Radradra.:shock:

Looking at the preview in the tele and down the bottom they have the injuries for eact team. It has the player name, where the injury is(knee, ankle etc) and how many weeks. For Waqa the injury is 'niggles' and says he is out indefinitely...anyone know what actually wrong with him?

Isn't he playing NSW Cup this weekend?

 

[YoungPanther]

For Waqa the injury is 'niggles'

If that was the case, Ennis, Reynolds, Gal etc would be out for the season

Looks like he was named..but I was just going of the paper. It was the tele though so mistakes like that are common.

I'll pay that

Nervous. The only game that matters this weekend. Hope we start well.

Me too. Because we did so well last year that expectation is now there, hopefully the boys give a good account of themselves.

 

[Blues Riff]

Yeah, hopefully we keep it close and the youngsters get some confidence and big game experience. We can win it though.

 

[maple_69]

Really interested to see how they go. All the press from players and coaching has been how disrupted the preparation was with all the injured players and that we were expecting to be sluggish. Ivan and Gus managing that expectation. Here's hoping they're bluffing and shoot out of a cannon.

Let's hope the peaheart props step up without Mansour covering for them
