* Kelma did enough and is a strike weapon out wide. Although Williams is a steadier player, i really think Kelma creates opportunities both on and off the ball. He also had a massive pre season as Ryles pointed out. Without Kelma we don't beat the donkeys
* Also, i don't know what to do with Hopgood/ Williams fighting it out for a prop rotation position.
* I think Ryles will opt for Penasini over Samrami if fully fit. If Samrami is kept at centre i have no issues.
* The bench must be retained, each of the four turned the tide for the eels in the second half
* Williams & Hopgood. Williams the player of the year 2025 wont be left outHopgood returns after suspension - a good headache for Ryles to have having a number of choices
Debelin/Hopgood. One of these two will.be left out
Some interesting choices

Yes i agree with your team list 100% as for Hopegood i think he needs to find form in reggies or 17. 18 swap with Doorey
I do think his form is not there .
In saying this do you guys think Moses last 2 games were not what he is capable of dishing out ? or am i expecting 10 out of 10 games off him hom , just looks like he may be playing too rushed & errors come into his game
Agree Hopgood needs a month in Reggie's. JDB is great at lock suring up our defence. He will kill it this week against Dragons.
the Walker/JDB lock position is cemented in stone all year
