Rumours and Stuff

I think replacing a forward - with the players we have available - is far easier than replacing a half.

I'm a fan of Jake's - he's got talent, and potential.

But he is not up to First Grade at this point, and weakening our halves seems a bit silly to me.

For me, the logical choice is to use Niukore (when fit), or Matterson, at centre, and find a replacement forward - I know he is uncapped, but Luca Moretti can play in the second row, and all he'd have to do is make his tackles.

Having a rookie forward, in our forwards-dominant system, would be better than putting in a not-ready Arthur in the halves, imo.
You can guarantee that Jake will not be in the halves during the Penrith game with Dyl going back to 6 regardless of who is available otherwise BA is a very poor coach.

Roosters lost because their forwards are shit and Keary very ordinary. He needs to go to NSW Cup until fully fit and some of their bench selections are as crazy as our bench selections.


I also reckon Walker is more suited to the #7 than Keary is.

You mean tackle efficiency of 80%, the same as Dylan and he wasn't targeted.

Yeah. Cherry pick his stats. 1 forward pass, 1 kick dead and 1 hospital pass.

In brown’s defense he’s in a position he’s not familiar with.

Right so Carty has less unforced errors in him than Jake ? 🤣

Normally you'd have a utility on the bench that can play half at a pinch. Currently we don't appear to have any utility. Shouldn't have let Will Smith leave.
Papenhuyzen started on the bench and he’s a specialist fullback. They would move Hughes when he came on.

imagine how much shit Carty would cop if JA wasn't in the team
It is a very different scenario. Cartwright is definitely not in the team because he is the coaches son whereas JA definitely is in the team because he is the coaches son. That’s what pusses the fans off.

Has Cartwright ever missed out while Arthur’s wasn’t in the team?
