Early Mail: The Bulldogs turned some heads with the naming of their squad this week. Matt Burton was listed at No.7 with halves companion Kyle Flanagan named at six. One punter raised the change with Bulldogs supremo Phil Gould on Twitter and questioned whether or not it was a mistake.
“I’m sure the coach will explain at the appropriate time. But it was a deliberate move and they have a reason,” Gould replied.
The Bulldogs have had a troublesome begin to the season, sitting in fifteenth spot on the ladder with three wins from the opening seven rounds.
Flanagan, who has struggled to nail down the beginning spot since his transfer from the Roosters, has are available in for criticism because the Bulldogs have struggled to place factors on the board.
Young playmaker Karl Oloapu, who the Bulldogs signed from the Broncos and is seen as a star of the long run, has been named at 18 prompting hypothesis Flanagan’s place within the aspect may as soon as once more be underneath menace.
