Do you even Pou bro???we do have poor quality back ups though, hard to argue against that
Every team has poor quality backups. That’s why they’re backups.
the problem is our 19-25 is shitTrue, but every club has shit ones. The Roosters have ZDC and a couple of even lesser nuffies in their top 26 players ffs. Think how shit their players 27-31 must be.

Oh I’ll go there....oh god don't even go there.
Every team has poor quality backups. That’s why they’re backups. In our case, at least there’s a lot of youth.
No they don’t. Our best 17 outside backs are:Hmm. Penrith starting the season had -
Alamoti ,D.Laurie, C.Mclean, J.Mclean, Ionghi.
All 5 back ups walk into our best 17.
Those two aren’t in our top 30. Harper and Russell are ahead of them ffsThere worse back up in the 1-5 is Tyrone Peachey.
We have Z..Cini and Lumelume
He has played 60+ NRL games. Every club would take him at minimum salary. He was off to the UK to be a starter.Oh shit my apologies. I forgot. BA sent a last minute SOS to Morgan Harper after 16 other clubs passed.
No they don’t. Our best 17 outside backs are:
1. Gutherson
2. Sivo
3. Penisini
4. Simonsson
5. Talagi
They are better than all the Penrith backups.
Those two aren’t in our top 30. Harper and Russell are ahead of them ffs
McLean will probably be great one day but right now he’s a reserve grader. Yes an 18 year old reserve grader is extremely valuable, but it’s because of how good he’s going to be, not how good he is now. McLean is still not a first grader, which is fine for an 18 year old. But he’s not as good as Simonsson or Penisini.I'd swap Pensini and Simonson in a heartbeat for C.Mclean.

You’re overrating McLean. Simonsson has played nearly 100 NRL games, including two grand finals. He is a first grader. McLean will be better than Simonsson but he isn’t yet.You are over rating Simonson
