If Paulo is rested, Evans, Kaufusi, Stone are injured and let's say Stefano is hooked for covid breach, Waqa gets a week for great hit on the protected species, who we going to have fill the gaps?
8. RCG
9. Mahoney
10. Alvaro
11. Lane
12. Matterson
13. Cyborg
14. Niukore
15. Terepo
16. Gower
17. Davey
4. Takairangi / Salmon
7. Moses/ Field
I guess there are plenty of What if's & maybe's with Moses and Waqa,
What are your thoughts against Manly who are shite lately.

Oh boy are we on some trouble with our middle forwards
Paulo, Evans, Terepo, Kaufusi, Stone, and Stefano all potentially out.

8 - RCG
9 - Mahoney
10 - Niukore
11 - Lane
12 - Matterson
13 - Brown
14 - Taka
15 - Alvaro
16 - Gower
17 - anyone (they might not play any minutes)
Think you might be bang on, Andrew Davey hopefully gets a bench spot.
Widders - there is also Makatoa who did well during 9's, got nrl experience, maybe he not in top 30 tho?
Aug 3 is deadline to purchase... should we ? And if so, Who?
Yeah well I don't really watch much bulldog games, there's 1 particular player who I think really tries his hardest IMO and that's that Raymond Faitala-Mariner, for the right $$$ I think he would be a handy addition under BA and with our forward pack surrounding him but saying that I think we have a nice balanced team atm.
We could go for both Canterbury players that were suspended.
Other clubs like the raiders and warriors have shown strong interest and are prepared to pay overs I don't either are a good fit
Nitram - I like Niukore on Bench as he 'brings the fire and leg drive , otherwise a dour bench.
Alvaro has a diesel motor so can go long minutes if required buuuut so god dam slow :(
I like Niukore on the bench too. My line up above is if 5-6 "middles" are out.

Pretty sure they won't risk Moses.
Who would you have come in for Waqar if he gets a ban poppa, taka, Rankins or hunster? I think taka personally
