Knowing that it's almost impossible for us to get the spoon, I don't really mind this because it gives Tuivaiti and Brown an extended period for more game time
Surely now Brown gets a run. His form in Cup is consistent and getting better. Also gives Mataele some more time in NRL as well. Hell i would even start Mataele v Newcastle.
Good on Junior battling through to we get more troops back. Edwards will come in to play mitch kenny role of the bench. A lot of tough decisions to make. Does will come in or araz? Does Jr keep selecting rusty? Kelly mistakes vs his output. Pezet vs Lorenzo vs Ronnie vs papa who do they play? Kelma vs kitty?
With all the injuries and Ryles still hasn't played Lorenzo, it's pretty obvious the kid won't be making an appearance this year. At best maybe at the back end of the season when its confirmed we'll be playing the spoon bowl.
You don't blood players when the team is ravaged by injuries. You blood them when you are at, or near, full strength. It would be football suicide to put a player like Lorenzo in expecting him to excel especially when the rest of the team is having trouble dominating.
I heard weeks ago that alongside our dozen injuries, there were a group of players getting on the park each week who otherwise wouldn't. Junior was one of them. Ryley Smith another.
Its bullshit, all this hype about our great juniors, your ready when your good enough, if your not ready by 19,20,21 we've wasted our money training them
"It will help as being around champions always does. They brought him in as 1) on his bye week and injury free 2) He could be in the frame in future perhaps. Also maybe needed a fullback for opposed. They have Talagi for halves and Croker and…"
"Not sure what those figures were based on. The only clubs with bigger attendances are mostly 1 team cities like Brisbane etc. With a population of around 300,000, the greater Parramatta area is much smaller than those cities. "

still possible depending on how Eels, Titans and Dragons continue for the rest of the season.

lol crazy
With that logic, you would've missed out on Liam Martin and Cody Walker. They debuted at 22 and 26 respectively
Dylan Lucas debuted at 22 as well and didn't come good until last year
