Terrible news for the Dogs Burton appears to have done a hammy just now. Otherwise the Dogs were doing well against the Knights

I don't think it's a big loss for them if it allowed Galvin to play 5/8.

Burtons good but he’s a bit overrated. He hasn’t really kicked on how I thought he would the last 2-3 years
O Sullivan at 7 with Galvin at 6 in Vegas then

I disagree I think it's a massive loss

The Dogs were very impressive mind you Knights are favourites for the wooden spoon
Huge loss and massive for their long kicking game. Big body, running 6.

Pretty good the problem is no back up hooker that will hurt us

Wil be Kyle, if Cook gets a rest, with the 6 reservesi can see LKT on the bench, if Cook comes off, LKT comes on at 5/8 and Kyle moves to dummy half..
I like it but we all know that Lawrie will be there and more than likely play and Nick will probably miss out which makes no sense to me. Doggies will destroy Lawrie with and without the ball. Even last night he was man handled by the Souths youngsters

His weight loss has only made him still more prone to being man-handled.
Agree 100%
I don’t like disrespecting anyone that plays 1st grade but Flanno can’t be persisting with him when Jacob, Loko and Nick should be the priority especially if this is his last season for us before he is moved on. Just makes zero sense in my eyes
Mailroomsgi

He still has more impact on us winning games than those guys at this point in their careers. 2 years from now those guys will have likely gone past him but if we’re being honest, Luch as a seasoned first grader is better at this moment.
That may change over the next few months

We are talking about Blocka.
Lawrie not Luc

I still think Lawrie is passable and experienced as a bench forward (depth only), definitely think he will handle longer minutes this year if needed he seems to move with more energy now...hes not in my first choice 17 but we will need him (during the year)... its a spot maybe Liu could have taken if still here.. but dont think anyone else is rdy from reserves, Hutchinson is getting there..
The question is how Flanno feels about the younger ones.. Ive noticed Halangahu appears to get more minutes than most.. that prob says something.. LPT I still dont love but hes getting there.. maybe 2027 will be his breakout year.. but I dont mind him from the bench, again prob not in my first 17.
And Nick I still dont think Flanno takes him too seriously, but I think its a mistake, I reckon the guy is an animal and energy up the wazoo.. I guess I dont know how he would go in the prop rotation.. maybe im wrong and hes just a 2nd rower.. but I just think hes a guy you find room for, and he covers lots of positions.
If everyone does actually stay fit when Egan returns, that will be a challenge for sure... what to do with Luciano.
