"I advocated for Da Silva to play some minutes in Cup. But at the moment, he needs to stay in NRL and continue to develop with the better and stronger league."

"The only way Ryles would do it is going for 4 forwards. He only using Joash over Da Silva is due to injury in the backs or halves. If Ryles brought Joash in as a 14 and give Smith some time off then yeah not great for Da Silva."

"Regardless, if Smith is coming off and you have Da Silva, you play Da Silva."

"Yea I rate Fletcher. I just think he is a year behind Lorenzo in development which is fair since he is one year younger."

"Sure is and there's no fuel shortage either "

"Earlier prior to season starting and thinking that Lomax was still an Eel and the way they finished last year and the upbeat about Pezet signing I was thinking a definite top 8 maybe top 6 but now that Lomax has gone Pezet not being below average,…"

"I've got serious concerns with our middles. (And with Pezet). Unless we fix those glaring issues I can't see us making the 8. "

"Thanks EA, sounds promising. Do you rate Fletcher highly? Or too early to say?"

"All good points, LB.
With a few astute signings, 2028 could still be a contending year. "

"Very early crow here but I can see Petrus, Koina and Popo playing NSW cup next year with a chance of an NRL debut too. All three should hopefully get a taste of NSW Cup this year."

"I recon Fletcher will play Flegg and maybe a game or two in cup this year. In 2027 I recon he will be the nsw cup halfback so back up halfback to Moses. Essentially following the same development as Sanders.
I can see Lorenzo making his NRL debut at…"

"To add to the 2028 talk. Players like Tuivaiti, Iongi, Kautoga, Samrani, Da Silva, Smith etc. If they are still at the club are well past 50 games bracket that is considered the point where the game slows down and you are FG hardened. Talataina…"

"Thanks to Webster, who Moses called the best halves coach he ever had."

"Yeah i understand and things can be done for him to try and do both in some area. Though as you said why weaken one area to somewhat strengthen another when it is not a massive strength. Walker at 6 could be the better option, but him not being in…"

"He jumped from Ball to Flegg and handled it quickly, he jumped from Flegg to Cup and handled it pretty well considering size, age, experience. He has played more Cup games now than Flegg i believe. That's saying something."

"If Penrith don't have a send off or early injury to either Cleary, Yeo or Edwards.... Penrith by plenty. Hopefully not as much as the Storm game 😬"
