Actually would JA play dummy half to give rheed a break. He can pass and he's fit. Good practice for him to tackle in the middle too

Either do I. But it does put a few questions in D.Browns head doesn't it. Time for him to step up.
He barely set up a try last year. His attack was nothing but hot garbage. Yes his defemse was great but he can do that at centre. Coach has put him on notice. We may have a better option so time to step up your game.
I think Drown is playing to coaches instructions. He doesn't set up many tries because he sets up his support players and in particular Gutho. Gutho comes to his favourite left side and gets the ball from Drown and then passes to whoever he thinks has best opportunity to score. Don't think this will change too much this year because it works so well so TA from Drown will still be down compared with many other halves.

Use of our bench and overplaying our 8,9 and 10 proved to be an issue in the past later in the season. Lets see how much game time 14 through 17 get. One feels Jrthur would be better served developing his game in the 2s than playing limited minutes in the 1s. Im not a fan of shuffling Dyl around if thats the plan. Developing combinations should be a priority I would think. Game day will reveal all. Dont sell The Tits short.
Tits have a good team, particularly their forwards, but a young half in Sexton and AJ playing 5/8 might take a few matches to gel. Same with the other members of their spine, all young and yet to form combinations which will take time. We'll certainly see come Sunday. Tits have been a bit of a bogy team for us in the past (which team hasn't?-tongue in cheek).

Funnily enough JA probably isnt the worst father son selection of the week.

Kevin walters managed to pick his son Billy at 5/8. Who probably has less ability then JA.
That's probably more to do with the shit alternatives than the skill of his son. Funny, think it was Zero Tackle, who rated the halves and had Broncos pair at about 8th, this is despite Reynolds having even less TA than Drown. Now without Walker who is going to set up the tries for the Broncos? Don't think their season will improve much this year from last year.

This thread going along nicely 8 pages

I think hineyrulz had 5 of them, we only just need his thoughts and clarity on JArthur in the 17 😝

Must say, thought it odd JArthur in the 17. Could drop out still, but one possible conclusion is that it’s gonna be a wet field, some rain forecast and having a kicker to support and take pressure of Moses, particularly if Reed is off and Stone on. Kicking game is crucial in any game , and probably more important in the slop.

And hes going to get bigger but I guess that spot is reserved for Stoney.
As in the spot on the bench to relieve Rheed is reserved for Stone?? Surely not. If BA thinks Stone is capable of filling in at dummy half even for 5 minutes after what happened v the Panthers last September, he needs a slap...

Stone's only role should be to come on when one of the middles need a break to shore up our defence...

You reckon Bennet will start him for Dophins or use him off the bench ?

I'm also not a fan of JA.l at this stage. I reckon he looks like he is in slow motion and bog average.
But he was 18yrs old last year and that's very young for NRL. They may see him as a project for 2 or 3 yrs down the track.

BA could be the king of plenty of subtle changes to inject him.
Taking Mahoney off to bring in W.Smith hardly made the side better. It just gave Reed a rest.

There is also the possibility of a different style for a 2nd half if things aren't working.
Or maybe Gutherson will slot into Hooker and Russel to fullback with Blake on wing. All of a sudden the defense has all these different attacking raids to defend and one's they don't see often.
Might be thinking outside the box. Or it may just be Moses or Brown are not 100%
Who knows
