After watching the press conference and BA's response to whether he's tempted to give Ethan a run at 7, i'm convinced there's a personal issue there.
BA is absolutely refusing to play him. I'm not sure they've got many options left after last night's perfomance.

Cronk said the opposite last week 😂
So he's changed his undies this week.
Perhaps but Cronk would be the first to admit that after looking at it again and after the second game, it needs to be addressed - as opposed to the egotistical, Ive made a fucking decision and I'm never wrong so that's that bloke.
He's what we have would you or any of these plaudits look at Parra's list and say ok DB back to 6 you go and then say Asi your it fully knowing your screwed regardless or if your the coach you back DB to get us through this all while the rest pick up the slack.
If I'm the coach and my heads on the block I'm backing DB circumstances regardless.
I have watched all the nsw cup games this year and I can tell you Sanders is not ready either. I would play Asi.
Not trying to defend BA here, but is it remotely possible that he realised he made a mistake with JA putting him in 1st grade too early and doesn't want to make the same again with Saunders
But is willing to destroy Talagi ? Because that's what's happening.
Is he even in the 30
he's a supplemental player and can be used from Round 1....
Moretti isn't and is playing.
I don't think there's a personal issue. Watch Sanders play and he's obviously not ready for NRL despite being a quality 7 in lower grades.
BA has tried Blaize and very clearly he is not ready either. Blaize has been directly or indirectly responsible for a bunch of line-breaks in his 3 games. He can't tackle.
For this week, I'm not looking at attack at all. I want the best possible defender to take Blaize's spot. Maybe that's Hands? If Cartwright is available I'd go with him. Maybe Matterson wears the 6. I dont know but a quality defender is what's most important.
