So much for Ryles squad aye chief are you beginning to realise where Parra is at right now and has been around development recruitment & retention.I tried to echo this to you years ago and many others about the off park footy mess that is Parra but was shouted down and ignored now under a new coach we are still much the same same but I guess some of you can't see the grass through the trees until someone hammers the nail into your head 😂
How much rope are you giving JR until you hang him aswell chief 😂
I'd be starting JDB at lock to take the sting out of first 20-25 min. Keep the side mostly the same but our defence has to improve. Hopefully Joash slides into fullback seamlessly.

So would I but here's the thing we aren't starting fast enough and JDB doesn't give that impact to start the game.We need to make a decision on what we are fixing attack or defense then pick the side accordingly.
Combinations on the edge are key so I really think they have to stick with Tuilagi and Kautoga.Last thing we need is another switch.
The bench looks a whole lot better with Walker Tuivaiti TDS and Guymer or Moretti coming from it.
The most radical move I'd make is move Paulo to 13 to start the game bring in Tuivaiti or Moretti to start at prop and it still gives us the run pass connection at 13 with Paulo which in my view is run first.The move gives us the ability and punch we need at the beginning of games to start faster in this fans opinion.

Defence needs to be the focus. We can score points with the best of them but need to tighten up across the park.
Tuilagi is the biggest liability I've ever seen. While the middle is pathetic, his work rate and defensive reads are causing massive problems on the right side. He cannot play first grade. Anyone is better.
regarding the middles - wow we have absolutely zero idea how to get a dominant tackle. No wonder we are gassed 10 mins into the game.
See that's why the edge is exposed if we don't get the middle soughted the edges will get exposed regardless whose out there.The answer isn't continually turning over players and hoping one player is fixing the it.
We need consistency part of that has to do with selection.

Popcorn at the ready.
Ive never said retention and recruitment was acceptable.
Bush arthur was a massive problem also. Promoting his sons ahead of other jnrs was the last straw with the bush coach
Tago is on a train and trial after his development contract lapsed last year
