NSW Cup side includes backrow of Bryce Cartwright and Will Latu with Ryan Matterson at lock.

"There's been plenty of ex internationals and Origin players that've tried their hand at NRL coaching and done far worse than he did.
But no, I didn't really have him in mind when making the comment. He wasn't a bloke that was able to crack it into…"

"I wouldn't mind him. I like your idea of using him as the Dylan Walker type.
I think we might go for Galvin, but if we don't then I see the club waiting on Fletcher, Talataina to mature into the halves. Until they do, I can see us signing a guy…"

"Everyone saying no would flop their dicks out and start stroking the moment he signed.
To me it's a no brainer. If he's available and is keen to play under Ryles and with Moses, it's a massive yes from me. We need a wrecking ball that can run hard…"

Big Tui is a massive loss for us.

Surely we have a better option than Guymer for the second row. The guy is a total dud.

Dolphins by 24+

  BEM, agree mate. Tuivaiti is a loss. Guymer seems more of a middle imo. Hopefully Ryles bloods promising backrower Latu soonish (pending eligibility). We've got rookies there as it is anyway.

    The only edge forwards that can run decent lines are Kelma (on a good day) and Doorey (who seems to fatigue quickly - missed 7 tackles last week in reserve grade????). I would love to see a back rower that can run a decent line - will be interesting to see how Samrani develops. I was hoping to see Matterson named for Hopgood. I do note Papalii is not named in reserves this week but is named as 19. Is someone likely to be scratched in the backline?

      There is no way anyone will be in for Hopgood. Obviously you have no idea the amount of work Hopgood does every week.

        No doubting he works hard just think his impact is down this year. Playing less minutes and making more errors/ penalties conceded. Definitely would have him in the team, just not sure where he is best placed atm.

  24+? If you think Dolphins will win that's fair, but they have no Marshall-King that's a loss, bigger loss than Tuivaiti for us.
  
  Tuivaiti is a loss but Paulo and Williams would be bigger.

    Each to their own LB.

      I mean if you right I will come here and say you were right, Dolphins can still win but I think 1-12.
