Maybe they dont select top 30 players? Has to be the reason given Kane Evans hasnt made the team.

And why I asked if anyone saw the game live. I saw Evans live on Easter Monday and although his "numbers" looked ok, in my opinion he was worse than ordinary.
That’s because you hate him. Most of the time it’s better to trust the (objective) stats over your subjective opinion. It eliminates some of the bias.

There’s definitely top 30 players in that squad. Most likely the team has been picked by selectors with no concern for their bias. Evans has played two games so understandable he wasn’t picked. But French is easily the best fullback in the NSW Cup.

You don't like Kane Evans, do you ?
Ill love him if he plays well. I remember watching him in that World Cup match where he broke his arm and I thought we had a goodun. Something isnt working. 5 minutes last week tells a tale. Im always hopeful of improvement.

Sorry to jump in here but you can’t have played more than 7 NRL games to qualify I understand

Makes sense now. Thanks.

By the way, that tall timber No.2 in NSW Cup for STG has some massive upside to him.

Yes he has. Will see whether his ticker matches his frame soon enough. In that residents team it’s matheson Johns that I was most disappointed to lose to Penrith he has NRL written all over him.

Tristian Sailor looks on the small side. Thoughts if he'll make it ? I believe he remains unsigned for 2020 ?

That’s a tough one as he had a pretty ordinary year last year in 20’s especially defensively but now starting fullback in CC. It seems he is not being considered as a half or five eight these days so his size and D may get the better of him given he doesn’t offer anything more than Dufty at this stage
