I guess meany is fullback hopefully not DWZ.

Pay will almost certainly go with DWZ and then shift his boy Meaney back onto the wing. Averillo could play fullback if Pay is feeling desperate..

Crichton will probably come in for Holland.

 

[Edwin Kwok]

Holland shouldn't play another game of first grade. Total garage from him over the weekend.

 

[ASSASSIN]

I'd play Averillo at FB from now.

He looks fast as fuck and has shown he can break the line. Fb is def worth a shot

Crichton will probably come in for Holland.

Fuck forgot about him.

Shit.. huge loss for us..

There's actually quite a few guys that can play #1.
DWZ - logical choice.
Meaney - I'd have him second.
Holland - but after last night.
Averillo - played juniors at fullback and halves.
JMK - played juniors at fullback and was quite good.
Montoya - played fullback in 2015 Flegg side and was 14 trys from 18 games. From memory hasn't played there since. But doesn't have that game breaking ability.

Crichton will probably come in for Holland.

Let's be honest.. look at the backline he's up against. Even without coming of his wing he'll get destroyed.

I still reckon we fucked up.

FANS: Hey Bulldogs Recruitment Team, can someone contact SCrichtons management as he's looking like a gun.
*months later*
BRT: We are proud to announce the signing of Christian Crichton!
FANS: FFS we mean Stephen!

DWZ can catch no way for him to play fullback.

Feet for hands. No way. Would rather smith who is solid under the highball or run Avo at FB

Welcome champ

Probably should look at it this way.. fullback is last line of defence once a player gets through the line (so 1 on 1 tackles are often done / holding a player up). Whilst centre is the linkman to the wingers.

Assuming you are unlikely to hold up Souths though if they break the line, regardless who is back there.

Based on this I'd keep Averillo and DWZ in the centres. Have Smith and Montoya/Holland/Crichton/Harper on the other wing (seriously I'd be tempted to use Monty if he's fit or Harper as they are big bodies).

Colour me crazy but you could then have JMK/Meaney/technically Wakeham could drop to fullback, run Lewis and Foran in the halves, with Cogger at hooker.

I mean we have a snowballs chance in hell of winning and can't play much worse. Worth a punt.

 

[Edwin Kwok]

Jmk at fullback will be destroyed under the high ball.
Id take my chances with DWZ and load him up with superglue on his hands every 5 minutes

Meany is the safer option at fullback at least he can catch

Knowing Deano, Crichton or Thompson will probably run out with the #1 jersey.

I'm blaming the messenger.
ALL your fault TDS-Reporter.
DILLIGAF that you're a bot, I'm blaming you, and Pay, and the board and the support staff.
Oh and the NRL, fuck them in particular.

 

[BomberBurton]

I guess meany is fullback hopefully not DWZ.

Averillo would be preferred yet concussion rules may prevent that.

At least that can temporarily replace the buildings that Foz keeps training down.
