We will have had to switch the exemption to a forward (e.g. Alvaro) following Peni's season ending injury I suspect.

I'm interested to see how this mob goes on Friday night. I'm predicting either Sandow's career best NRL game, or close to the worst game of football he has ever played. Nothing in between.

Why would Arthur drop Sandow to reserve grade, then bring him back and play him at fullback (which didn't work out too badly - I thought Kelly was pretty good at half and Sandow showed enough to maybe keep the thing going for a few more games), and now move Sandow back to half-back? Is there any rhyme or reason to this, or is it purely due to salary-cap issues?
If it is the latter, can anyone tell me how the salary cap is a good idea?

Sef must of impressed the coaching staff after his great effort for Wenty on Sunday.

Kelly stinks up Wenty, gets picked for first grade.

Paulo stinks up Wenty, gets picked for first grade.

This is revolutionary stuff from Arthur.

Never sure if reading or comprehension are your biggest challenges, but given we have apparently reached our salary cap limit, what would you rather BA do?
1) breach the cap
2) pick seffa
3) play with only a 3 man bench

Why Pick Kelly in the first place if a) he knew we were approaching the 2nd tier cap? and b) Kelly had been playing shit in reserve grade anyway.

Why did Arthur say Sandow will be spending 2 weeks in nsw cup if the 2nd tier cap was about to bust?

Unless of course Arthur had no idea about the 2nd tier cap problems?

Well done to Alvaro, impressed with him for Wenty.

Sef had a strong game for Wenty ??

they must have been watching a different game

My thoughts exactly. If he shows the same performance from Sunday, we're in real trouble.

I think the salary cap picked out team, no other reason to ahve Sef and Sandow back at 7 considering how well Kelly played last week

Which makes it an even dumber decision to pick Kelly in the first place. f**ked our 2nd tier cap even further to play a player who was struggling in reserve grade for 2 weeks.

No it doesn't f**k our cap any more. We got an exemption to play him while a) Someone was undergoing remedial driving lessons and b) Hoppa was ineligible for SofO reasons. Do you reckon the confirmation of Peni's diagnosis might have had something to do with the removal of the exemption? We are now down a forward for the rest of the year, so presumably we have asked to be able to bring in an additional forward. Sepha, given his alleged ability to play in the backline, and Top 25 spot has been drafted in.

Would we have got an exemption to play Folau earlier in the year?
