May might be the better choice but it's too late. Stick with the f**king side Ivan
You need to convey your thoughts to the coach. Your preaching to the converted.

Staines not named again, so what does his non selection really mean? One can only conclude it is unlikely he is going to figure again this season unless further injury strikes. Once To’o returns, I assume in the last round against the Eels, what happens then. Momo or Naden drop out?

I'd back Naden but it's risky

Not sure why Cleary plays games with the naming of the side both JFH TPJ .Both need game time after being out .Both are training so will get named .So why bother playing games

Well you don’t get match fitness up in contact sessions when there is no NSW Cup (reserve grade)

Has he picked up a bad injury?
No, I think the coach just believes we are better served by going in a different direction.

The way the game is played, as important as scoring tries are, wingers are so critical to do the hard yards bringing the ball back and Charlie just doesn’t get the job done in that regard. His work rate, minimal hit ups, minimal yardage, tackle breaks etc it has caught up with him and Ivan has decided our chances are better served with other options.

Let’s see when To’o comes back. Easier to get away with one winger with less metres when the other side of the field gives you so much.

Why not? That is ridiculous, if true. Naden shouldn't be there.
Averaging 8-10 carries a game for 70-80 metres Doesnt cut the mustard for a winger in the NRL. He also doesn’t offer any attacking threat from high balls so no point Cleary or Luai bombing to Charlie’s side. The reality is Bellamy, Bennett and Co has a game plan to kick deep to Charlie’s wing because they know we get no go forward from his bringing the ball back. That is just the reality.

Writings on the wall for charlie. It really is fb or nothing for him. Hopefully a big off season and he can really push dylan.

There will obviously be changes to the 17.. looking forward to seeing tpj. Even if it is just 15mins off the bench.

Read my post below, everyone is missing the point.

Our opposition have a game plan around playing us and when To’o returns they will be focussing there kicking game to Charlie’s side. Take Brian To’o out of the game and kick to Charlie if he is in the side. It’s that simple.

He doesn't get the ball, and what has Naden done? He will be leaving at seasons end.

That he needs a break. It happens with young guys. He will be back

I am risking the wrath of the masses here, but I am struggling to see what others are seeing in Tago ATM. He has a big future ahead of him, but his effectiveness has been reducing week in week. This is to be expected from a young kids.

So again, think he can be a big part of the future, but in this year where we are looking to break a long premiership drought in a very close comp, I don’t see him being part of the top 17 (especially if he is being chosen largely to play in the pack).
