Another game without Pezet is the only positive I see from this.

  Pezet has been named to return from injury via NSW Cup this week.

    What a total waste his signing was

I would play Samrani over Kelly. The errors from him just outweighs all the effort he does in yardage.
- eels47 > EA April 28, 2026 at 4:14pm
  
  Agreed, I can't believe the amount of posts on socials about how well he is going. His mistakes are killers and all too frequent.
- LB > EA April 28, 2026 at 4:43pm
  
  Samrani will give you the same in terms of yardage.
- The Captain > EA April 28, 2026 at 4:47pm
  
  Yes, absolutely if Samrani is ready please bring him in. Kelly has some flashy up-sides but they are far, far outweighed by the downsides.
- Yehez > EA April 28, 2026 at 5:10pm
  
  Yes and as LB said he'll give you yardage.
  
  I think that's the plan they just wanna ease him in in cup first.
  
  BTW, do you think having Petrus on the bench in cup means he'll come in and Jezaiah gets tried in the middle?
  - LB > Yehez April 28, 2026 at 6:11pm
    
    I think him and Talagi on bench means they are fast tracking them to get ready for NRL in 2027. Koina won't be far behind.

    Tb, lokene and visconti seems the pick of the forwards in cup last week. The latter making his way up the ranks rapidly.
