Highly enough to give him a shot as the back up anyway. Once theyve played cup and done well in more than one game i have no qualms about giving them a first grade crack if the opportunity is there. Edgars a bit small but he has been very good in cup when he has played up.

Makes sense. We can't trust Laurie's form anyway so the result isn't even a step back as far as backups go.

They all will for the rest of the rep season. We've lost the right to rest players. A luxury we can't afford.

Next job is prayer. It will be a minor miracle if we get through relatively unscathed with no major injuries.

Resting isn't a luxury it's so those players don't get injured and are available for the rest of the season.

Rest all our Origin players. The year is done and guys like Yeo are f**king cooked

Who are these kids?

Edgar is McLean's age. Was just as rated in Matt's as McLean

Lamont was QLD u19's half back last year

Straight swaps for Schneider and Laurie.

Didn't know you were a socialist.

It's a common sense approach. And it's made far easier when your team are flying in the top 4 like we usually are.

Circumstances have changed. Coaches have a choice and when they need to win they play them.

Less cynicism more swagger needed. You've lost that feeling.

Ask Yeo and Cleary if the year is over. They'll be playing on Sunday unless they are actually injured.

I'll be betting large that we win the 2026 premiership but this year is done. Time to help players like Casey and Patea get ready

I haven't seen him play but I do trust @betcats with the juniors.

I have watched him many times also, the kid is a gun but not First Grade ready yet.

Probably more first grade ready than Laurie.....

I think the idea is to give them a no pressure experience of first grade. The season being bad isn't on them and it's not on them to fix it.

Has a lot more talent than Laurie, but he is pretty small. Needs to fill out a bit first before playing First Grade.

We're talking about a game or two here during origin, prior to this year i wouldve said yeah Edgars a year off at least, but hes played 5 cup games this year and played well. I get the physical side and him being small but he wouldnt be the smallest player running around the nrl. Stains was probably smaller when he debuted for us.

Jye grey is the size of my 5 year old daughter.

Sorry wasn't last year. 2 years ago. Edgar and Casey was in Matts

J.McLean
Billy Scott
Luton
Hassett played NSW u19's.

Lamont the 7 for QLD.

Armstrong played last year.

Talagi and Alamoti are Flegg aged.

We have a very young Cup team and when are 5th but that is brought down by games like on the weekend when weakened.

We probably only have 13 NRL standard guys. Rest are like Casey or guys with no future here like Riki and the guys mentioned.

Getting the kids in. Atleast is working towards better depth next year

He is no worse than Jenkins was or Laurie is.

Ive said this before re Edgar and Attard, we arent going to have the luxury of parking both of them in the lower grades for two years before we have to make a call on which one to TRY and keep because we might not be able to convince either one to wait around, which means we might need to test them both a little early to see what we have.


Now that we are coming last i think we will be susceptible to losing even more juniors if we arent giving them a crack. No ones waiting around until they are 22/23 to get a crack in a side that is missing the finals.

 

[Black Panther]

f**k it then, let’s just feed him to the Lions.

Teams are upping the ante now when playing Penrith, everyone lifts against us. Some people on here are turning on guys like Casey and Blaize not being up for first grade, both are Flegg age also.

No that was before this year. We suck now and everyone knows it
