Round 20: Dragons vs Bulldogs

[TheRev]

Allan isnt listed in Cup or 1st grade, interesting to see where he plays.. he did score a nice try last week, but not sure if Flanno would pick him over Sloan, pros and cons there.. he might well.

Feagai is named in cup, so assumably he wont be rushed back to 1st grade until he has some games under his belt (if indeed he is being bought back), and CT is listed as next week also, again though.. perhaps this time they will get him to finish a cup game before playing 1sts.. who knows though..

Allan 18th man and with Cup and FG both on Saturday, Cup @2 Redfern and FG @5 Homebush he won't played and possibly Loko or Nick too.

Allan & Feagai lurking in the background.
The tortoise & the turtle. We need speed to have any hope of capitalising on any few half chances

They need to name the 22 man squad blacksa. Neither will be there unless something goes wrong at training over the next few days

So you’re thinking it’s 1-17?? Klemmer, Leilua and Stewart will be all be playing Saturday??

Please target galvin defensively

Is Flanno expecting a back to get knocked out from a high shot? I just don't understand why Allan would be 18th and not Nick T or Loko.

I'd rather have Nick t and loko getting game time in nsw cup than being 18thman. It's sort of a nothing position for young players imo.

He digs right into the line with his passing game but other than that, I haven't seen anything to justify the hype. Hype which seems to be dying down now. I'd rather have LKT in my team. LKT also digs into the line and has a better running game. Long kicking is an issue LKT has to work on.

 

[jodragon40]

Exactly

 

[GCRV]

Exactly

It's not that bad considering who is unavailable but if it was me, Blake Lawrie is done in first grade. Nick T or Loko would be in for him. Other than that, Sloan is a problem on the wing but who takes his place? I'd probably go with Lawson but absolutely not Allan or Feagai. Both good players but both too slow to be good wingers. If anything, drop Suli and play one of them in the centres. Why not? How many good games has Suli had?

Lay bets he is, being one of Flanagans boys.

If I was Sione Finau I'd not feel my spot is safe given Allan and now Feagai, arguably one of our worst ever modern era defensive wingers, are hovering in the reserves.

 

[blacksafake]

Homes Sloan and Finau are in the 17.
We have reached a new low, complaining about players that aren't in the 17 that we don't want selected in the 17.

So in essence you have complain about Flanno not picking players you didn't want in the team.

Anything can change between now and Saturday & it’s quite common for players outside the 17 to get a start,I personally want Sloan & Finau to be used for the rest of this season due to their speed.

So you are complaining about something that's hasn't happened and probably won't.
Time for me to give this forum a break.

We should target galvin in defence. He's quite skinny and new combo. He might make a few mistakes.

That's a good point. Unless anyone other than a winger or Gutho really is taken out from foul play and the 18th man gets activated.

More so with CT set to return next week. Jeez gotta puke when I hear New Corp say that the ''Dragons want to keep Sione Finau but are as yet to offer him an upgrade''. Does that even make sense BOD. If you wanna keep him from being poached by eager outsiders with big check books, then bloody well extend the gun winger pronto.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

and has a better running game.

Yet to see it. With Atkinson coming dont see LKT playing top grade in '26. Wondering why he was extended so soon to be brutally honest.

You don't rate LKT?

You may see it as complaining I see it as two “safe,slow” Flanno favourites getting too close to selection in positions we seriously lack in speed.

Who else? Feagai then people will complain. Buchanan people complain he's too small. Heidke people complain he's too young.
