Finally a journo talking sense. Hoppa is not at FB and Lewis isn't in the side. I can live with that
Yeah, but he has wakham in the team.
I rate Lewis over wahkam everyday of the week.
Especially with Kyle Flano in the team taking the rains.
Lewis at 5-8 makes more sence to me.
His long kicking game, and tackling alone adds more to the team than angthing Wakham can offer.

Id rather we get Bunji for a year.

Flanagan will be doing the majority of the kicking, especially long range, he needs a runner next to him. Averillo's the only one that I can see filling this role, unless we get Burton early.

Yeah I agree with all that except the only other option would be BBO if given a chance at 6 which is a long shot but who knows if he is elevated and trains the house down.

Lewis the worst possible partner, on face value, for Flanno.

Can't run.
Can't pass.
Can't play support or back up.

Baz a miracle worker if he can turn him into a running 5/8 outside a controlling halfback but good luck with it.

Nah mate I can't agree with that. I'd rather Wakehman over Lewis all day every day
Hopefully with Penrith signing Salmon as a backup 5/8 it means we get Burton early because the thought of Wakeham or Lewis at 5/8 is just depressing

Lewis cannot be starting half with Flanagan because Lewis will try and be the dominant half and it will not go down well with Flanagan..
That comes down to coaches instructions I remember last year jmk always passed to lewis ,I suspect thats one of pays masterstrokes ,pretty sure tbaz will be giving instructions for flanno to get it mostly
