"Butler the wanher in the bunker. This bloke had redefined what backward and forward meant."
"Maybe it's simply a case that we have an understanding that DeBelin doesn't play against the dragons?"
"I did kind of assume Debelin was brought in as more of a mentor role for the younger forwards. Probably good to have around training and just if you need a middle on occasion. Not shocked he's more an 18/19 guy. Moretti should also leap him soon and…"
"He should be the 6, 12 or 13. People dont remember that far back obviously."
"Guymer is that back-row 18th sitting there in case Tuilagi or Kautoga go down but Williams can move there too if needed.
I think we see Walker, Tuivaiti, Doorey and Da Silva as the rotation."

"That is exactly what he is looking at. He saw that first 25 and as soon as our middles rotated we looked so much better. He wants that fast start and Williams he may feel gives us that better chance."
"Or maybe Ryles prefers to have a hard running Lock. But Williams played Lock a fair bit at Cronulla. But Paulo ball plays anyway in the middle so doesn't really matter."
"They surprised with front row seats on the sideline for his bday. How nice of them."
"Don't be surprised if it's jnr paulo that plays that ball distributer role, he was fantastic doing it for Samoa last year."
"Hopefully JDB is giving our young forwards some value off the field, cause I don't think he'll see much game time unless we get injuries.
With the speed of the game and the six-again-palooza that's happening this season age is going to be a bigger…"

"Both Hopgoode (vs Storm) and Doorey (trials, Broncos game) have played the middle ball distributor role. I've yet to see Williams play it at Eels. I suspect a switcharoo"
"NSW cup play before the NRL team. Interestingly Papalii is listed at haflback in nsw cup. Moretti and Kelly are listed in nsw cup but Guymer is not listed. Richard Peninsi is not listed in any teamlist or injury report/.

"Stats across Round 1-2 show DeBellin missing just one tackle per game from 40+ attempts. But few runs or passes. Let's grant that Tuilagi's excellent game against the Broncos probably forcing himself into the team.

"Much of muchness really i guess. Williams, when starting for Cronulla, primarily played Lock."
"It shows Ryles is not afraid to move on if not working. Kelly down the pecking order with Samrani preferred now De Belin."

Cannot see why not, but unfortunately the battling line looks as fragile as poppa's hips!lol it appears it could be a tough summer
Nothing wrong with my hips Mickey. It what hangs off them thats a bit wobbly!
Please no pics pop's!lol Keep it PG.
In the absence of 'experts' in the field I'd think the batsmen at the top of the order need to book a bulk visit to a good shrink. The fog and uncertainty need to expelled so they can play once again assured. Only Travis, Marsh and Carey are currently mentally fit to play a role in the test team. India has a dynamic bowling group, but they're aided large by the meek effort of some of our batters.
Hope you're right Mick, I always look to our cricket team to take my mind away from the o'rf season. If there's no bounce back from them, my only back-up is the Thunder.
Yeah RJ, cricket is a great game takes our minds off footy for while but now its seems NRL is 365 day business - all it takes is a great knock or great partnership and it can turn a series
They need a talk from Steve Waugh. Learn what it takes for the mental disintegration of your opponents. To do that, you have to be completely switched on and focussed yourself.
The lack of red ball cricket has also not helped. Where is the Sheffield Shield? That's supposed to produce Test Cricketers, but all we have seen is T20 and a few one-dayers.
Team overall is getting too old and the current state of Shield cricket is uninspiring.
We are on the decline, unless a few unexpected youngsters jump out of the ground.
The bowlers tend to be pretty good game to game but the batters (ex Head) are basically flat track bullies.
Khawaja (38) should be pensioned off. Labuschagne (30) is hopelessly out of form. Smith (35) seems to be past it. Starc (34) is all over the shop innings to innings. Lyon (37) is not ever going to do a Warne and rip thru a team. Hazlewood (33) is good but he is no McGrath. Cummins (31) is inconsistent but generally good.
We miss Green but also need a genuine bowling all-rounder who can be our Flintoff, Pollock etc. I thought Cummins might turn into that but his batting is getting worse.
My opinion only and I am sure others will have different thoughts.
Have to agree with everything you've said Badger. Depressing but true. Also we can't continually bowl using the seam while the blokes from the Sub-Continent excell in that manner.
