Why
Carr has just given up dropping under performing players. I know we are down on troops and trying to save money for next years salary cap but has he has fallen for the “ he is a good bloke “ syndrome that has been prevalent for 10 years in this bubble environment ? Too close to the team and not close enough to what is going on and is best for the club ?
Why has he gone with Feagai again. Surely we can throw someone else in there, anyone!

Whilst De Belin being suspended is a big hit to our chances, the return of Dylan Brown for the Eels is a massive boost for them.
Like most here, I am desperately hoping Bird is overlooked again, my preference being Ryan Couchman as the next man up.
I sense though if BMM is fit he will come into the 17.
With young Fifita returning from knee surgery this weekend, I am hoping he shows enough in the coming weeks to get a run in the top grade prior to the end of the season.

Who is going to cover the work load of JDB ?
around 50 tackles per game , takes the ball up or first receiver 1 or 2 in a set , and our best defender ??????
Please no J Bird ,,,give one of the youngsters an opportunity , their enthusiasm and exhuberance might help the cause
Moses wont need to attack Feagais side , just go straight through the middle
MOM Dylan Brown
This could get real nasty

I think managing the cap will mean that the kids yet to debut will not debut this year whilst disappointing is understandable.

How much in real terms will it cost ? Is it 50k per player outside the 30 or 10k or 100k ? Is it per each game ? Just interested what the rules are and if it is worth it to blood new players?

Cut and paste.

Dragons team: 1. Tyrell Sloan 2. Mathew Feagai 3. Moses Suli 4. Zac Lomax 5. Mikaele Ravalawa 6. Talatau Amone 7. Ben Hunt 8. Francis Molo 9. Jacob Liddle 10. Blake Lawrie 11. Billy Burns 12. Dan Russell 13. Jack de Belin 14. Connor Muhleisen 15. Michael Molo 16. Toby Couchman 17. Zane Musgrove 18. Ryan Couchman 19. Sione Finau 20. Jack Bird 21. Max Feagai 22. Ben Murdoch-Masila
In the moment you squint at the team, tilt your head and contort your mind to try and believe it is competitive when in reality the current team sent out there in our jersey are the worst to ever grace the football field.

Physicality: 6/10
Fitness: 1/10
Football Brain: 2/10
Match Awareness: 2/10
Discipline: 1/10
Desire & Commitment: 1/10
Unity and Cohesion: 0.5/10

No insult aimed at the new faces, the likes of Couchman and Mulheisen etc. I'm glad they are getting a run over some of the experienced hacks but still too many granted a position in the team.
