I would have gone Cartwright tbh.

Gives us more creativity and attacking flair on the edge, plus is a far better defender
Him or Matto fill in the halves if an emergency

Only issue is kicking game, They will only need to pressure Moses, particularly if Reed is off

Wr have pur two starting wingers out. I reckon BA is slightly concerned that we won't get out of our own end easily. That means he can move Blake to wing and Brown to centre if it's a problem.

Our forward packs strong. Our biggest weakness is our wingers imo

If we didn't pick JA on bench who should of we picked instead?

Greig,Cartwright,Rein,Opacic,Rodwell.

What cover do they give us and how good are they that they warrant NRL selection

All are back ups imo bar Greig and maybe Cartwright. If N.Brown was fit and Marata available you'd certainly find a spot for then in the 17. JA doesn't get in. But of the 5 I have named none are screaming out to be picked.

Shane for Bryce but seems like he may just be a back up bench for his career
Bryce is a weird one. Resigns for 2 years to play. 2s

Agree to that plus cover for injuries in the backs.

Not sure about that. Dunster and Russell are the same weight (90kg)

What we lose in a bigger body (Sivo) We have gained in speed, and probably street smarts

Guys like Waqa is ideal to be there as first man to ruck it out, with his size and footwork

Either way we should win, and wish JA carves up if he makes the final 17

It's good to have competition for spots in the early rounds. You don't think that Dylan is looking over his shoulder with Jake at 17 ? Maybe it will spur him on to greatness.

Jakob believes he’s treated the same as all the players, with the exception that footy talk with the coach extends to after hours.

Ba. Im worried about coming out of our own end son

Ja. What about waqa to wing and dyl to centre? But then you would need a half

Ba. Hmm good idea

I also hope we win. And I think Arthur makes the 17 because I doubt BA will be playing mind games so early, especially with his son.

Ogden and Rodwell are in similar positions. Bryce would be seen I feel as part of our top 20. I reckon positions 16 and 17 would come down to form and attitude and can easily be swapped with guys taking up the spots 18-20.
I'd say his contract would be around the 180-200k range. The club seen enough of him last year to know what they want from him. Id prefer him to be given a bigger role. But it isn't like other clubs where chasing him either. Maybe all he is in the NRL is a 16-20 man player in your squad.

Those weights are often out of date. Dunster looks about 5kg heavier than Russell. He was probably Russell's weight two years ago when his profile first listed him at 90kg.

They don't change from time they are listed. Dylan browns still 85kgs which I find hard to beleive.
The club puts something down when debut amn after that its fairly poor as far as accuracy goes.
