Drumph and Iran.

Thoughts? Did ol' Donnie Drumph go for the oldest panacea in the failing popularity playbook and start beating the drums of war to distract from impeachment?

"Guymer looks very unfit for a bloke so young...Yet the whole team looks really under done in fitness levels and mental resilience..Maybe it's these repeat sets and having to defend more than the opposition."

"1. Kelly is good when he concentrates. He can break the defence line at times. His biggest issue is inconsistencies. He still is fitting into a weakened roster and poor coaching.
2. Paulo is too slow and past his prime. He does have glimpses of good…"

"Kelly will not be sacked, and he will be picked this week.
Ryles will persist with him due to his strong yardage carries that help us make metres in our first few tackles each set.  However, Ryles needs to coach the errors out of Kelly's game.…"

Muttman replied to Roy tannous's discussion My takeaways from today
"Kelly isn't the answer but he's completely acceptable in his current role. He gave 110% today and made some great plays. He put his body on the line. Put some respect on that. DeBelin also hung tough. Is he good enough? If he was the 4th bench spot…"

Kelly, though getting through work and trying, he is way too rocks…"
