At this stage I think he'll be very good when next to Nath and awful without him

I think you're probably right to begin with. Appears to NOT be afraid of contact (for a half) is huge. Also a good passing game.

Hopefully Cole will be a good partner for him when needed. Look at how Alamotti came through as an example.

He'll look pretty good with some black and pink polish

Pick whoever gets us five in a row

The thing is. He is off with Samoa so won't train before christmas.

Cole, Schneider and Laurie will be running as halves during that time

I'd be making Cole get through 10 straight NSW Cup games before playing him in grade

Getting through a pre season after knowing our system is fine with me.

I dunno man with Nathan's issues I think we need a rock solid 6 who'll be there every week.

I think Cole but it's a worry

The thing with Cole that gives me hope is Edwards looked like one of those players that would be in rehab more often than not when he first hit NRL. The last 5 years he has been pretty durable for someone with his work rate.

I kinda see it like;

Laurie - running player. Better suited to FB. Has a decent short kicking game. Organising skills probably not where they need to be. Defence in front line needs a bit more work. Ok passing game. Fastest of the options.

Cole - good running game. Too hesitant when he sees opportunities to take advantage of them. Kicking game needs a lot of work. Organising skills need improvement. Decent defender. Injury prone atm.

Schneider - halfback. Great game awareness but too slow in the legs to capitalise on what he sees. Decent short-mid and long kicking game and can organise play but slow to throw the last pass to finalise things. Good defender.

Talagi - raw. Ok short kicking game. Defence needs a lot of work. Good pass on him. Organising skills need work. Good running game on him.

Toelau - zippy. Can defend in the middle but unsure if for long periods. Decent short kicking game. Smaller body so will miss tackles. Ok passing game. Not a bad organiser but far from top line. Better suited as a 14.
