  The players that haven't made their nrl debut in the nsw cup side that have the potential to are only Lorenzo, T Brown, Jez (as a middle), Talagi. Visconti and Lokeni as well maybe but potentially a bit too one dimensional.

  Avery, Vaiveai, Alamadine, Hill, Nohra, Smitz are only the team because of injuries.

    I'm no ruling Hill out.

    For some reason I see something

      I think the injuries have caught up to him

        EA, just to entertain Chiefy's assertion.

        Is Twiddle a better six than Lorenzo (or potentially) as Chiefy concludes?

        You along with Sonic and Paul Taylor watch our juniors more than probably anyone here. So, I'm interested in your view.

          Lorenzo won SG ball player of the year as a 6 last year when he was competing with the likes of Reed, Woods, and other elite junior prospects. People like Chief are just in the mood of bashing the club down. They can only think at the surface level and cannot think beyond that. As I have said countless times, Lorenzo is playing in a nsw cup team that has a 1 and 7 from RM. every week his spine, outside backs and backrower combinations change. You want him to develop his game yet he has zero consistency around him and players who are not even nsw cup level in the team. People don't think about that because they don't understand footy well.  Every week we carry a hooker and half on the bench because someone is in the nrl team that can only play one half. So the nsw cup team is very cooked right now whilst it tries to develop some players. 

          Twiddle no doubt is a better player than him right now but he is 2 years older than him. Lorenzo was playing cup last year at 19. Twiddle was well into his 20s before he could make into cup.

  This new half is getting absolutely destroyed 

  And Lorenzo trying to chase in broken space, looked like he was running in quicksand 

  Forget about Lorenzo. 

  He may never play fg.  We re signed the wrong player
