Joash Papalii is the new fullback with Isaiah Iongi (ankle) sidelined. Charlie Guymer joins the bench to fill the void left by Matt Doorey (ACL). Veteran prop Jack de Belin has been added to the six-man bench along with fullback Apa Twidle, who bagged four tries in NSW Cup last week.

Based on what? In all the games he played at 1 last year that didn't happen.
Based on what? Not once last year did he get ragdolled playing Fullback.
Pork Rind how fast is he Porky, have you seen him make a break and get into the clear? I actually haven't and I am a supporter of his and while you are thinking about that i have never seen him rag dolled either?
He is nippy and elusive, he catches the high ball as well as Longi. When he played 5/8 last year he had great line speed and because of that was quiet effective defensively.
I would play him as 5/8 now instead of Pezet for those reasons, notwithstanding his "now" fullback duties. Further to that I would play Renzo at 5/8 now, as long as he could execute the same line speed defensively.
Then again I am an "old fool" what's your excuse?
Watch his earlier highlights. He is fast with freakish footwork. His defence is probably better then Ionghi.
I will say, one more injury in the forwards itself, we are cutting it fine. Heading into Brown, Latu, Funa-Iuta and Mataele territory. Not ideal using them due to desperation.
That's not a thing that's resolved in a few weeks either it's for the season. So we must make at least one forward signing mid year to cover.
100% it's time for fans to speak up, I've had enough already.
💯
Jr probably is more a lock these days. Better to use him there to attract defenders and get an off load. Williams is better on the edges. Teancum Brown and Tuivati makes more impact than any forwards we have. Unleash the new generation.
Agreed Zip. Time to see what the juniors have got. I think a turnaround for this tram will need some thinking outside the box. Clearly we are not Melbourne who can buy whoever they want to fill a gap, all within the salaries cap of course.
how come he (MON) hasn't been sacked Chiefy? who is protecting him, few weeks ago Ryles could do nothing wrong, now you are telling him about positioning forwards, anything else you would like to comment on with regard to Ryles and his coaching staff?
I notice the CEO is now a simpleton, the head of football a moron, the Chairman useless and lets not talk about the Board.
This wisdom you have obtained, I'm getting a bit old, is it transferable in any way?
Tigers are favourites, I think they're going quite well.
But I am backing us as always. Tigers are no Penrith.
Still don't like Walker starting, and I would've preferred Williams to 11 and De Belin to 8 and Tuilagi bench.
