[deal.with.it]

whats the g.o with moving foran to centres? thought the halves were fine.
bailey is a solid player, but would prefer foran in five eight

I would wait until they run out before judging.

Any news on Rose?? really hope he is back and is named on the bench, Seu Seu drops off the bench as Ballin is ok to backup (I Hope)

this is incorrect.
the worst buy IMO for a while from the sea eagles.

Really he isn't that bad playing 2nd row. I blame Des more than anything.
If there has been 1 problem with Des' coaching style it has been his tendency to use second rowers as 5/8ths. (Sam Harris, Beaver, Willow, Choc, Glenn Stewart).
We have never had depth in that department.

Bailey isn't a bad back rower, he fills gaps a lot which goes against him because he is never going to shine there. At full strength I don't see him in the 17 but he isn't a bad back up player, remember a few years ago we had guys like Jack Afamasaga and Nick Bradley-Qalilawa getting first grade time.

I loved the koala. ordinary player but he put in and looked like he was having a lot of fun out there.
And I don't remember Willow playing 5/8, he would have been terrible. Bailey goes ok in the second row but some of the things he did a couple of weeks ago were painful to watch. Hopefully we'll have a decent or at least interesting team run out this week.

Bailey looks to be playing 5/8, he just seems soooo slow.

Williamson played a fair bit of 5/8, I remember him partnering up with Dorn and Ferris at times, must have been '02 because Ben Walker took over the role in '03, Jye Mullane and Andrew Walker in '04 :crazy:

Foran isn't playing - he is still a week away. Dean Whare is playing centre

Hatrick on debut, well done to Whare
