  • The strongest squad Ryles has named so far. Simonsson would make it better and maybe Guymer for Keir. Other than that better with Moretti and Walker on the bench.

    • Yep, like the Moretti & Walker additions, Simo a chance of coming in from reserves? Did he play cup last week?

      I don't want be a dick LB, but how is Russell still being selected? He must be the nicest bloke in the world.

       

      • Simmo needs time. I watch him in cup the past 2 weeks. He looks physically very strong and showed in his carrys. But he still needs to get his match fitness back because that also effects his acceleration and top speed under fatigue which exposed him a couple times.

        I actually think Russel is a decent back up option. The problem is that some of our 'first choice players' are not NRL standard. So he looks worse than I think he is. Hard to look good in a shit team.

        • Russell is shit stop defending him, his hopeless. I used too rate him btw 

          • I dont rate him. I just genuinely believe he can be a good back up. But a back up is never going to look good in the worst team in the NRL. Have to realise that mate.

            • Yeh Rusty is a back up option. Once we have a fully fit Simmo I can't imagine Russell stays in first grade. But he's a guy who will end up with a 100 game NRL career as a squad player.

          • He is a rep player though - PMXIII, as a centre. 

        • Ok thanks EA & Darren. Sounds like Simo is a week or so away at least.

           

          • yep

        • Russell wouldn't play first grade in any other team.
