I don’t think I’ve seen anyone talking about the bench - we’re absolutely shooting ourselves in the foot with our bench selections and use. We essentially had a 2 man bench - Trindall doesn’t get on, and Magoo offers absolutely zilch.
I don’t really like targeting 1 person (but I’m going to), and I’ve nothing against Billy in terms of attitude or effort, but he’s just not NRL standard. We bring him on and he’s just anonymous - doesn’t make yards, doesn’t create space, doesn’t win contact, and is so slow, he can’t even get across in defence to keep the line in tact. He’s too slow and doesn’t have the strength, size or agility to play NRL effectively.
It’s an absolutely pointless bench spot, as is Trindall, especially when Tracey is in the team, double especially when Magoo is also in the team.
Throw in the fact that Tolman is Tolman, and you’ve only got Sifa offering anything in terms of impact from the bench. Tolman brings steady Eddie, the other 2 bring nothing.
