With all the Penrith shenanigans, Bev getting dropped has missed the news cycle.

I think Gronk is right about Fearless Freeman being right about Stagger being right about Smith being cover for Salmon

I’m sorry but there is no excuse to pick Will Smith in first grade ever. Wow he can play a lot of posistions. All of them crap.

French has gotten what he deserves which is sad to say, I really think his gonna struggle to find his way back into FG from now on.

Judging by Norman's comments last week his a ticking time bomb in regards to leaving Parramatta and this further cements that, his days are numbered and we are looking to the future.

Very very very excited to see the fish make his run on debut at 6, I for one will be watching with much hope and excitement as I think his development along with Mahoney's could be absolutely crucial to our club's future and immediate future like next year. If we lose Norman and do not find a 9 and these 2 come on in leaps and bounds and perform it will be a huge positive from a very negative year.

Just in case it hasn't been said already...

We’ve got a 6 who’s making is nrl run on debut.... can you guarantee he can last 80 in his first hitout?

I kinda understand why BA has chosen smith
Agree ... though you could always revert to Taka at 6 if absolutely necessary

I tend to think Smith is "backup" for Salmon and, in need, he can cover hooker if required as well. Not many people seem to like Smith but there is no doubt he is a handy back up because of the number of positions he can cover -- fullback, wing, half back and hooker.. Smart move BA.

He's fine if he doesn't have to be a playmaker, imo.
