What’s the Deal with De Belin?

We’re down to a third rate squad, yet he’s still coming off the bench. Is he carrying something, or just not in favour at the moment?
He was brought in as a key signing and used to play big minutes at the Dragons ...  I know that doesn't count for much, but still. 
Feels like he hasn’t really been given a proper run this yet. Did Ryles realise he bought a dud early in pre-season? If so, it’s starting to look like a pretty expensive miss.

  • Father Time is undefeated.

    • Agree and time will tell

  • Key signing is a slight exaggeration. I thought he stiffened up our defence when he was on last week.

    • Though by the time he was on, damage was done.

  • Have been thinking the same. At the very least he brings experience to an inexperienced team. Did he flirt with the coaches mrs or something 

  • I think, for this week anyway, if you put Walker on the bench then your bench is Walker, Da Silva, Mataele and Pryke. De Belin adds a little more size and experience i guess. Ryles might want that experience getting through the tough work towards the backend of the first half. Walker is great but wouldn't catergorise him as workhorse.

    That's the only thing i can think of to be fair haha. I would rather see him start though as i feel Walker is more valuable off the bench.

"Big claim considering in 30 games Ryles has double the wins Kearney had. But definately not a good look."
