Dunster to come on for Niukore to push him to the middle? Same with Matto for Papa? A pretty lightweight bench otherwise.

  Lightweight bench?

    Just considering Matto and Cartwright are regarded as edge forwards. Not talking about their actual weights or talent. What I'm saying is that with Papa and Niukore in the run on side it gives us scope to push them into the middle when the bench forwards come on.

  People don't realise how big Carty is, he is a massive human from a Rugby League POV, so is Matto. It's a big enough bench.

Rather Rankin on the bench.

  Agree

  What is this fascination with Jordan Rankin ? He is a marginal NRL talent at best. He is option Z.

    I don't have a fascination with Jordan Rankin. I have actually had full support over Will Smith. I just believe Rankin suits the utlity role better, thats all.

      Based on the semi final. I think Dunster's defence will improve much more with better defenders next to him.

        He's a young outside back, he'll thrive playing with Mitch, Dylan, Gutho & Reed, as opposed to Jordan Rankin, Jake Arthur & co.
        
        Don't pay any attention to his NSW Cup form.

"The only issue I have is the head knocks because he puts himself in the strangest positions for a big man sometimes. But majority of his long term injuries were inflicted by other players in tackles for the past two seasons."

Mathew Clarke replied to Roy tannous's discussion Eels in talks to resign Jack Williams Luca Moretti and Sam tuivati

"Great news on all 3. I'm suprised many don't think Moretti is a good keep. He is just coming to age for Prop forwards (Mid 20's) and runs some great lines. I think he needs to have Williams show him the ropes and Luca, Teacum and Tuivaiti need to…"

"Slightly surprised at Moretti considering we have lots of forwards coming through. But at the same time, I have sensed him slightly going another level in our improved post origin performances.
All in all good news. Tuivati especially needs to be…"
