Good to see Joel Romelo named finally for the Bulldogs. He is the Dogs second best hooker behind Ennis.

Also good to see Titans finally having sense and naming Beau Henry.

Interesting that Jones is named at halfback for the Cows.

Dire that Purtell is still in the side despite his attempts against the Eels. Nearly lost us the game by letting in that try.

 

He has been injured...

Not really, more interesting is that Thompson continues to keep his.

 

But Romeo is a gun!

 

Oh yeah, forgot about that.

 

I don't Romelo is just a gun

 

I love it how the Eels paid overs for him and he is playing reggies. I liked the rumour doing the rounds last year that the Bulldogs only went up so high for Mortimer to increase their chances of snaring Keating.
