Can't be Salmon after last week. Not even Ivan is that stubborn

Peachey playing well here and staying in the top 17, Will only help our premiership chances

Why not start Salmon at centre? The bloke needs the practice.

Ivan has bulked him up to play in the backrow. He's now too slow to play centre, not that he's ever been good enough to start at centre at NRL level

If Peach actually plays centre then Jenkins should ask for a release immediately.

Well he is definitely the back up when injuries happen in game again. No one else on that bench is playing centre.

Hence the issue I have with the bench. One of Smith/Eisenhuth should be replaced with someone better suited to centre. Kenny is playing middle minutes anyway

He is the leading try scorer. Yet is playing wing the selections in NSW Cup are all over the place and the results are too

The Peach at center is a worry.

 

[WestyLife]

I was hoping for Jenkins personally but oh well.

 

[Chins get the wins]

The Peach at center is a worry.

Peach in first grade is a worry

Peach in first grade is a worry

That too. I can live with him on the bench if Salmon is unavailable, but that's about the only reason imo.

I'd love for him to be an automatic selection, but that ship has sailed.

For me we need unpredictability which he brings, very few in the squad does. He could add a new dimension to squad. Being injury cover makes it low risk

If it was 1 or 2 weeks maybe play him but 4-6 is a wasted opportunity to blood a kid.

I'd rather see what one of the kids can do. Perfect time to look to the future, not go back to a mediocre past.

The kids aren't ready yet. Maybe Jenkins but I don't think Turuva will play so he still gets a go.

All our FG ready depth went elsewhere so it is makeshift guys for now.

McLean or Cole would be worth a look. It's only until Tago is back, so not like it's going to be a permanent move. Gives them a taste and something to strive for when they go back to cup.

If (big if I know) the Peach and Luai click they could be magic, both heads up players and could create havoc playing off of each other.

 

[BossleyPanther]

Cole would have been awesome to cover Tago. Good experience for next year. Club doesn't learn. And yes it is 2004 vibes.

That is it. Leaves the option for Peachey to move to left edge ( a position we are still to settle)

So for me I see upside in it
