Ilias needs to find a new club he is the worst half back I've seen in over 60 years play for souths.dudmetriou said ilias will be one of the best no7's souths have ever had lol dudmetriou and ilias need sacking both are massive egotistical duds.
This guy never fails to make me laugh. Friends with sutto, tugga and now he’s trying to tell us he’s been watching footy for 60 years.

I don't think he's a bad halfback but his kicking game is reserve grade standard unfortunately. He's one of the better defensive halfbacks in the game but the rest of his game is well down the ladder.

I think we still need experience and class in the halves and Cody is still that. He just needs the right set up in front and around him and he can still blitz. It wasn't that long ago he got MOTM in Origin 3. He nailed a few try assists against Storm the other night too. He's not gone yet and you can't just have all youth and no experience. A blend of both is needed.

I could easily name at least 10hb’s through the years that has been worse than ilias that have played for souths easily.
Clearly someone didn’t watch much footy before and after our kick out years

I meant wighton 6 cody 7
Yeah, I realise mate, but shifting Cody from 6 was never the original plan for buying Wighton and while I was also one hoping for that halves paring, I know they had to give Ilias the opportunity to keep his spot before then shifting him. I can also understand giving Hawkins a shot too but now both of those horses have bolted it's time to give the Wighton-Walker halves pairing a go.

Gray is a 5/8-----he has always played there---we need a new fullback for next season--Mitchell & Wighton in the centres !!???? Dodd & Gray in the halves---sign a FB !!!????? Campbell Graham is in the mix of course . How would Wighton go at FB ??

If mamouzelos and ilias play at souths dont expect to win a grand final it ain't going to happen they are both park footballers and guess what dudmetriou is a park footballer coach thats why we are coming last.we got so many duds in our top 30 squad it ain't funny the proof is in the pudding the souths board room all must be wearing those( have faith /rose coloured glasses) why else would we be coming last for?

Can Illias become a 9?
Because if Mamazuelos is the future succession after Cook, we will need to add a hooker to our shopping list.
We have that young English kid playing Flegg this year at dummy half he could be an option.

I kind of see Ilias maybe following the footsteps of beau champion maybe moving into the centres. But yeah I think he could also make a decent dummy half also
