Brodie Jones added to the side. I expect they will do what they did with Cant a few times last year and have him play the first 40 and then send him off to be ready for 18th man duties in firstgrade

Blake Taaffe is out for the Bulldogs - might be in firstgrade

Game about to kick off on bartv if anyone wants to pay for it - I think the 2 day subscription is 8 dollars

Knights 0 - 6 Bulldogs after 7.
Soft try. ref gifted them field position.

 

[Billy]

ESL has 2 line breaks already - first one was called an obstruction - second one he threw a forward pass and butchered he try

 

[mozza]

All over them but can’t finish it off. Hope this isn’t a sign of things to come in FG.

 

[Billy]

Knights could have scored 4 times - got nothing yet.

That was Manuleleua, his first game at this level and has looked like a handful every carry. ESL is on the right edge.

 

[mozza]

Great try. Love the 2nd phase play. Arthur has been outstanding. Reckon he ends the year as our first choice 9.

 

[Billy]

Kyle McCarthy under the posts - went through about 6 or 7 sets of hands including Brodie 2 times

 

[Aidos]

An observation I have is that Tyrone Thompson has a bit more 'oomph' and leg drive in his runs than Leo imo.

 

[Billy]

6 - 12
Paul Bryan is having a very strong game

 

[Billy]

I don't know how the commentator can't pick between McCarthy and Riley Jones - 1 is chinese and the other is the whitest man alive

 

[HarVeeGee13]

Great try. Love the 2nd phase play. Arthur has been outstanding. Reckon he ends the year as our first choice 9.

We just paid Phoenix…

 

[Billy]

10 - 12
try to annan off Hastings and Hunt passes

 

[mullenmagic]

Know his stats were good but thought Annan looked quite lost in attacking situations at centre on debut (his first game of league since he was a kid to be fair). Looks more comfortable on the wing so far.

 

[mozza]

We just paid Phoenix…

He can be a well paid 14. Arthur just looks a more dangerous attacking player. He’d also be a dangerous 14 coming on after 25 minutes.

 

[Billy]

halftime
i reckon we bombed about 7 tries
Brodie Jones did 40 minutes at lock, but if they do what they were doing last year, he will go off and freshen up for 18th man in firsts now - so his day is done.

 

[KPGreatness]

He can be a well paid 14.

Yeah agreed I mean Crossland is still very much needed since he can cover 6,7,9 and 13

 

[Billy]

We haven't used Burgess or Greacen yet, but all the middles we have used Thompson, Bryan, Jones, Hopwood and Sullivan - have looked good.
