2025 Rabbitohs Round 8 - Vs Storm

[speedster]

Walker has done a calf again - out for 5 weeks.

We are cooked. I expect Dodd to half and Sully to 5/8. A real match winning combo!

Bennett has come out and said Gray will start at 5/8 and Dodd to the bench

I still prefer Jye at fullback, but having him at 5/8 is miles better than wasting him on the bench.

I can’t wait to see how he goes at 5/8 it brings another level of excitement to the game

 

[Eric the great]

This is our future jye at 5/8 Cody keeps breaking down with old man injuries

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

If he takes to 5/8 like he took to fullback then I'm all for him making it his own.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

Now this is an interesting turn of events. Jye was technically a half coming through the grades. I wonder if he has a kicking game.

It's his natural position. He was converted into a fullback which has developed his running game and toughened him up to take the collisions. A good player becomes a great player when they develop all the skills of their game.

He does having a kicking game from memory of seeing him in Jersey Flegg wearing the 6 and putting Munro away for tries as well as in the 2024 Charity Shield.

Father time gets us all. Cody is suddenly unable to stay fit and it's soft tissue injury after soft tissue injury.

But great to see Jye brought into the halves. I presume Dodd comes onto the bench? Or LLB?

Bench players cop a really bad rap. It is NOT a waste playing from the bench and many bench players play key roles. It is strategic for the coach to inject a player at a particular time in the game which can turn things around. It should no longer be seen as a demotion or being "dropped". Not at all. He would have been dynamite off the bench, not a "waste".

Seriously, the grade 5 carry on continues. I feel you are devaluing and disrespecting the position of a bench player and I feel THIS is an actual injustice. For real!

Funny that.

 

[Eric the great]

I’ll go out on a limb and make a prediction that jye will be a better 5/8 than what we had the last two games lol

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

I think it is a waste putting one of your best players on the bench. If they are capable of playing 80 minutes then that's where they should be, on the field. The bench is for forwards who lack the stamina to play 80 minutes.

Devaluing bench players. Boooo!

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Not at all. Just saying some players are WAY too good to be wasting time on the bench.

Melbourne have Tyran Wishart on their bench. Is he being wasted by his foolish coach?

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Yes he most certainly is. The big difference is that Melbourne have quality players in the positions he should be playing so it's done out of necessity

 

[Eric the great]

No one is gunna win this hooha
