3. Dean Hawkins will start at No.7.
4. Papalii has played 3 games as an interchange player and has experience playing in the halves at NSW Cup level.

    • I agree he's leaving anyway. If papa shines this might be the kick-start of our season.

    • Unless he is completely out of his depth (which I doubt - Ryles wouldn't have chosen him otherwise) this is the backline we should stick with for the remainder of the season. I'd also be happy with Sean Russell slotting in alongside JAC as per usual. We need to be thinking further ahead than just the result of the next match.

        • Can we please give Coryn a few weeks off from this site Super? Reading her posts will cause many fans having to pay for depression medications, and she's sounding like a broken record since the demise of her much loved sacked coach. 

          • Reality medication equals me.

            Contradiction and hope n dreams equal you.

            • I meant it to be a joke only Coryn,  something i shouldn't be joking about anyway.  I wish you the best with everything 

    • Agree I don't think Brown should play 6 again this year he is gone at the end of the season put him on the bench and try out others at 6 start planning for next year

BEM replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Joash at 5/8 can go one of two ways,
"If Ryles decides to go with Joash at 5/8, he needs to have Volkman on the bench.
Personally, I would be going with a halves combo of Volkman and Hawkins.
We need the win and now isn't the time for experiments."

"If it's a mixed bag I'm guessing he goes back to nsw cup and plays 6 for a while to build his confidence in the role. But let's hope he kills it "

"What if he has an OK game where he does some good stuff but stuffs up a few times as well? 
Is that a tree way?"
