Big call by the Doggies to drop Sexton and start Galvin at 7. Playing two natural no. 6s in the halves didn't work out very well for Wests-Tigers and now the Doggies are doing the same. Shame the Wahs aren't coming up against Canterbury sooner as it'll take a few games for Galvin and Burton to gel. Hopefully Galvin will try to hog all the ball and stunt the Doggies attack.

Gus must be back from holiday. I could understand them doing this if they were mid table and planning for the future but they are a top 4 side. Why would you change a spine that is working so well for you? I also still do not see why he deserves the special treatment. He seems a not bad player for his age but is he really that good?

Players are only as good as the team around them.

The doggies cohesion is what has got them this far. 100% agree that changing the team this close to finals is silly.

Sure, it could work out for them. But it's definitely not the sensible move.
