Not the game to debut him. Opposition whose main strength is their physicality and a wild, windy and wet afternoon in the Gong. Better to do it next week at Magic round in Brisbane against Raiders, 6pm Friday game, back home in Brisbane, Raiders are in a mess given Whighton news, and hopefully a dry(er) track. Anyway, let's see how he goes, I am sure he will blow away what Falnno or JR have to offer.

The surface of Suncorp will tear up pretty badly, and likely will cause injuries. I think we're first up, so should be better than the teams who play last.

Not ideal to step up during a massive injury crisis. But win lose or draw, I hope he just goes out and gives it his best and has at least a few good moments he can enjoy.

The amount of hype surrounding him is no advantage for him. He's joining a young halves pairing already under some pressure. So I hope he doesn't cop massive amounts of criticism here if he makes some mistakes. His first handful of games might not be great, but hopefully we are seeing the first days of a future NRL star. We've actually thought this way before. Wakeham was rated pretty highly early on just like Mbye before him. Have patience and hope he exceeds the quality they delivered.

On the contrary...
He gets this game with plenty of excuses if it all turns to shit, with none really coming his way.

Gives him a taste of first grade in tough conditions.

Then he can go to Brissie feeling he can definitely do better and the improvement will give him the world of confidence.

Following weeks we can start to get some players back and he can look forward to that.

If he has a bad first game like Alamoti (or was it Casey??) Or a game like Burton did in round 1, I'll give him as much shit as anyone.

....and I hope you all support me on it.

But I'm also all for second chances so he can redeem himself in future games.

But realistically we don't need miracles from him. Just play to his instincts which should be enough to offer more than Flanno ever did. I wish him well.

he is good enough and a tough opposition will show that he is.

Casey’s first game wasn’t bad… it stunk up the joint. It was putrid. Worst debut I’ve ever seen…in any sport…at any level.
I don’t think KO has a game like that in him.
