Win the spoon or blood jnrs for next year

Simple choice: Do we want to blood guys like Papali’i now and accept a higher risk of finishing last — or keep Dyldio Brown at 6, which gives us a slightly better shot at scraping into 13th to 16th?

For mine, Ryles is making the right call. If we’re chasing a recognised five-eighth but don’t land one, and Dylan stays at halfback, then Joash Papali’i has to debut at 6 in Round 1 next year — with zero first-grade experience. That’s a big ask.

I say stuff the spoon. If you're worried about your mates giving it to you for finishing last, hit the gym, put on 20 pounds of biceps and be ready to cop it. Because for the long-term health of the club, we need to get reps into our development players now — not when it's too late.

Man up and stop worrying about finishing last because cry babies can't cope it and can't sleep at night worrying about absolute bs and writing bs blogs about who'll win it. 

And why has Sandon Smith been dropped to nsw cup by  the Roosters and they've promoted old man Townsend? Is he on the way out?

  • I don't think we get the spoon, Rabbitohs and cowboys are awful. Not to mention Knights without Ponga and Sharpe

  • In my mind if its 9th or 17th its the same thing your not playing finals.

    I believe only thing that makes a successful season is a premiership only 1 team will have a successful year a finals appearance is a pass mark.

     

    So blood players for next year keep building its unlikely we will win a comp in my lifetime i accept that but id like to see us be at least a decent team for a extended period 

  • We can't we do both blood new talent and not win the spoon is that a foreign concept.

    We have Moses and others coming back for the last 7 rounds surely the spoon is off the table.

    Id be questioning the playing group going foward if we still managed to win the wooden  implement with basically everyone back in those last 7 games.

  • That's a toughie backs take time but I really don't want another spoon.id move on brown probably.  I'm reading he won't go yet.hes playing is not good enough.  Let joash play when Moses is back put dyl back in 

  • Give Moses another few weeks off

    • 🤣 mate he's already had 18 months off on full salary. He will retire next year oh hang on he already has

      • Dont forget the 100K for two Origin games and winning series last year lol....hes gotta get on the park in 26 ....more injury is really taking the piss
