Cleary replaces Griffin in coaching duties.

I'm hoping.

Cartwright replaces Griffin's face with his fist

Toovey on nrl 360 just now, reckons Cartwright on bench so he can come on last 20 of each half super fresh when the bulldogs are tired and tear them up. Seems valid I suppose. Hope it pays off fantasy wise.

Seriously though, I think Griffin is trolling. Des messes up his team list before game too so I think Griffin is trying to mess up the Dogs mentality by putting Cartwright on the bench.

NRL.com just put this up so there is conflicting reports on who is playing fullback. TBO sounds right as DWZ is gotta be the fullback and not Whare.

Panthers
19 Dean Whare
2 Josh Mansour
3 Waqa Blake
4 Peta Hiku
5 Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
6 Jamie Soward
7 Peter Wallace
8 Sam McKendry
9 Tyrone Peachey
10 Reagan Campbell-Gillard
20 Sitaleki Akauola
12 Isaah Yeo
13 Trent Merrin

Interchange
11 Bryce Cartwright
15 Jeremy Latimore
16 Suaia Matagi
17 Elijah Taylor

Coach: Anthony Griffin

FINAL TEAM: Dean Whare replaces Will Smith at fullback, Sitaleki Akauola starts in the second row, pushing Bryce Cartwright to the bench, James Fisher-Harris drops off the bench.

Not sure whether to play Gurgess or Merrin in Ultimate...

Our forwards don't get tired

Guys on weapons reckons Cartwright averages 30 off the bench. Just traded him for W. Graham.

Just traded Lichaa for Garvey and have a few ideas for my 2nd trade:

1. Upgrade Ah Mau to Fifita
2. Upgrade Leuluai to JTurbo
3. Upgrade Benry to Carter

Any advice?

Cheers for the input. Have gone Gutherson based on it.

Hah. Happy to talk shit about the raiders any time . Real talk though, I think Gutherson might have a hard time against cowboys and I might be wrong but they don't normally leak a lot of points do they? Raiders might be good In attack, but we have a new fairly inexperienced halves pairing and usually leak a few points. Either could go boom or bust but Copley is probably safer

Would hold off at least one round. Wait and see how Carty is used off the bench first. It could be he is off for the first 20/30 and then plays out the game, or that he comes on in periods against tired defense and tears it up. Also the chance that the Panthers get destroyed and he's back in the starting line up next week

He only averaged 43 minutes from the bench last year too. You'd hope he'd see a few more than that tonight.

How long til lockout. Might go knee jerk the shit outta these teamlists

I went Lichaa to Garvey and then your second trade Ah Mau gets another go, Carty needs 60 minutes to be more effective than last year a hold for me

I need the points after a poor round 1 score. My 2nd trade will be later on in the w/e but J. Trbo will come in for Aubusson. Fark Carty & Aubs.
