Lots of people played differently to the forum it seems - many late round players instead of where lots of us ended up.

I feel like i'm getting sucked into one of matt's 200 theories a year in the hope this is one of the 10% that pay off

Bulldogs: 1. Hayze Perham 2. Jacob Kiraz 3. Jake Averillo 4. Paul Alamoti 5. Josh Addo-Carr 6. Matt Burton 7. Kyle Flanagan 8. Max King 9. Reed Mahoney 10. Luke Thompson 11. Viliame Kikau 12. Raymond Faitala-Mariner 13. Ryan Sutton

Bench: 14. Nu Brown 15. Franklin Pele 16. Andrew Davey 17. Jacob Preston

Early Mail: Paul Alamoti will partner Jake Averillo in the centres, with Hayze Perham to play fullback.

Raymond Faitala-Mariner will start on the edge, but is likely to spend time in the middle third.

This will open up an edge spot during the match for debutant Jacob Preston, who excelled in both trial fixtures.

Tevita Pangai Jnr picked up a calf strain at training that will see him miss the opening month of action, opening a bench role for Cronulla recruit Franklin Pele.

The well regarded Chris Patolo is expected to miss the opener due to injury.

Viliame Kikau failed a HIA in the trial loss to Cronulla, barring any lingering symptoms he should be fine to take his place on the left edge outside Matt Burton in the opener.

“If there was a grand final next week, he'd play. He's not a rookie, he doesn't need to be pushed to risk further injury."

TLT write up has been speculation. They don't know any more than we do for Round 1 rotations.

I would expect a professional sports journalist to have sources within the clubs they are talking about and with each week. Someone in the know has said something to them.
