Everything you have just said is an assumption, unless you claim to have a "contact" in the club ..
Absolutely not. For starters we have proof that Lewis was left out of our 30, so how is that an assumption? We also have proof that JMK was given an upgraded contract and promoted into our 30, so how is that an assumption? Lewis played at centre at ISP level until a halves spot opened up, again how is that an assumption? Lewis didn't force his way into the top squad until Moses and Foran were ruled our from there, still not an assumption. Basically the only thing you can claim as an assumption is the fact that Lewis didn't train at centre during pre season as i'm not a reliable source and can't physically prove that he was training at centre and playing there during opposed/closed sessions.
And now onto Martin, Smith and lets even throw in Holland. Martin didn't get a look in until injury hit, so yh that's probably an assumption but highly likely he was never going to get a run unless otherwise. Smith was straight out never getting a run until multiple injuries hit and Moses was moved on forcing a backline reshuffle. Montoya couldn't possibly play any worse and was leading the try causes in the NRL by a huge margin and still currently sits 2nd worst. Our right edge was also an absolute mess and despite Holland sitting on the bench he was never used in the outside backs until injury hit and was often used as a bloody centre instead. That's also technically an assumption but i'm more than willing to bet nothing would have changed without these events out of the clubs control happening.
I don't know why some of you feel the need to twist things and make up these stories to try and create a excuses to justify why something didn't or did happen to try and shine things in a better light. These were clear mistakes and it's more than possible to think we might have been close to competing for a spot in the 8 if we were proactive and made these changes earlier rather than being forced into them late into the season. It's also possible we're only winning games now late into the season as the pressures off us and we're coming up against sides potentially under more pressure than us, this did happen last season.
But hey keep doing what you guys are doing if you want and push the narrative, even continue to edit certain comments and/or pretend like something wasn't said just so some of you can have a crack at me like you guys did in this thread.
