Weak as piss... so the Covid 5 are back in the team despite Barrett being angry at them, and despite facing a board meeting this week (where they might have been sacked).

Not sure I'll bother watching as it'll be another hiding.

 

[Captain Ibis]

What's Lachy have to do to get a run.. geez... at least he freakin' has a go

 

[spiritofaslan]

I mean it's good to see Odgen and Atoni back,and surely Okunbor can't be far off.

Lachy deserves a run, as you say at lesat he tries out there.

wow hes dropped our wonder boy half and put lewis on now. We shall see unless easts target him and get him another concussion

 

[Captain Ibis]

Lachlan's issue has always been attention to detail and while I'm not sure if he'll ever be a regular first grader, I feel like he could improve a lot with more game time under Trent

 

[Old Woof Woof]

wow lewis has had a haircut might see the ball better out of his eyes now

 

[Captain Ibis]

wow lewis has had a haircut might see the ball better out of his eyes now

the real reason for his knock ons and wayward passes lol

 

[Old Woof Woof]

you could well be right howard if he plays well give him anumber one cut

 

[Captain Ibis]

a lesson can be learnt from Lachlan tonight.. while his second try was a lucky one, it also comes off the back of him putting himself in the picture.. these are the tries that passive players don't score

 

[Old Woof Woof]

confirmed by the bulldogs official site today that Dufty has signed for one year commencing next year.
Also
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have continued to identify the right pieces for their squad next season with the signing of experienced forward Ava Seumanufagai for two more years, keeping him at Belmore until the end of the 2023 season.

after lewis performance yesterday i would like to see him ink another deal with the dogs and even with burton and averillo in the halves imagine the speed around the scrumbase if lewis was hooking faster service and another player capable of doing the unexpected . We dont need hookers that go to dummy half and just pass the ball we need thinkers there and Lewis is a thinker and quick off the mark and additionally he can sure tackle.

Lewis deserves an extension, even if it's a year or two just to get some more time under Trent.. he's shown in patches that he has skills but brain explosions have always let him down, which is where Tbaz should be able to help, although last night he was much better in that department.

Averillo has got to be a lot more hungry if he's to lock down a spot in the halves

 

[Old Woof Woof]

Definitely agree
