Apparently took a big hit in the first half and only came back on with 5 to go

 

[Soto]

Just to add to this Wenty and Hills Bulls in RMC and Sydney Shield lost... Great weekend by the club all round

You can't help bad luck..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Looking at the NSWRL play by play, it appears Cayless has played all 6 starting forwards for the entire first half without change.
If thats true theres a message in there for sure.

Heads need to roll ffs!!!

Nice to see Jock get the call up.

The Maltese Mullet (Sans Mullet) was pretty good last week at the back.

 

[JokerEel]

So Russ drops off to work on his game at centre...

Blaize is a fullback/Centre so goes to 5/8

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Talagi’s strength is running the ball, so the spine gives him the greatest involvement. Also gives him practice defending in the line.

 

[the phantom menace]

Asi named in Cup, so he's not out due to head injury, just dropped?

Russell getting some time at centre - potentially useful, I've always thought that his best position.

Moretti just getting some time - I thought his bench contribution last week was poor, so probably for the best.

Good to see Doorey in the starting side, after his 60min from the bench return match.

Yep, his best game was at 5/8 with 30+ receipts.

 

[Pazza]

So guymer is playing in the middle now?

 

[the phantom menace]

He was selected there when Tuilagi had a week back in Cup, and looks now to be a fixture there with Doorey's return from injury.

i wonder what their thinking is? are they giving him some experience in the middle if they wanna select him in FG on the bench in the future?

if not, this club has a real issue developing young edge players.

They have no idea how to develop edge players.

Remember Tepai Moroea he was a gun edge player next minute got fat and made a middle

Blaize is a fullback/Centre so goes to 5/8

Russell has been a centre/fullback most of his career, he's only played on the wing in the NRL. I guess it makes sense to put him back in his natural position.

When Gutho came to Parra from Manly, we put him on the wing.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the plan is - other than he's too good to leave out of the Cup pack.

But it seems as an edge forward Guymer must be considered lower in the pecking order than Tuilagi and Doorey... and before injury I thought Doorey was tracking for the first grade bench spot (and may do again, at Tuilagi's expense. Which would leave Guymer back filling a the Cup edge forward spot for development I guess.

Everyone gets a turn in the middle.

Yeah why develop his game as a fullback or centre...
