It's a dumb rule... can we swap players in top 30 if they haven't played yet?The NRL won't allow them to be played. Bulldogs have been trying for a few weeks to get Lewis approved.
Possibly with Mbye going Lewis might be called into the side and be able to play.
It's to do with this Top 30 shit the NRL dreamed up.
From what I can gather, even though clubs now have a Top 30, players 26-30 can only be called up if there are injuries in the Top 25 and no other player available can play in that spot.
From what I can tell: Woolford, Lewis, Cleeland, Cerruto and 1 other are all unable to be played therefore. Wakeham is a development player I think, so he's different again.
May happen now with mybe goingNot sure how many times it’s been mentioned but they aren’t allowed. We tried to get Lewis but NRL blocked it.
With M'Bye gone can they replace him in the Top 30?Foran is injured & Lewis isn't top 30?
I think Lewis has more potential then Frawley and is definitely better in defence but you’re right he’s not going to magically turn around our season. The poor bloke is going to get savaged on here if/when he starts playing NRL.I feel sorry for Lewis if he gets selected.
I don't think he is FG material, and isn't the answer. And the backlash he will receive if he isn't the messiah is going to crush the kid.
I really hope he proves me wrong, and becomes a great player. The desperation we are in, even I'm calling for him to be selected. He can't do any worse than these 2 shit kickers in Frawley and JMK..
One thing that Lewis offers, is vision. He seems to read play quite well (even if not always making the best choice - but that can be put down to too much effort).I think Lewis has more potential then Frawley and is definitely better in defence but you’re right he’s not going to magically turn around our season.

Apart from an excellent drop out that flew 63 meters then rolled a further 24 meters, he missed the mark twice yesterday throwing the ball to no one in particular losing ground in the process. I am a supporter of Lewis and like others on here would love to see him debut but I do fear for the kid, the kennel is a nasty place unless you are named Klemmer or Jackson.I feel sorry for Lewis if he gets selected.

Does anyone really think he will be?Lewis was average at best yesterday. Happy to give him a crack but he’s not the messiah.
Even if the restrictions you mention are true, Mbye is in the top 25 so a replacement could be brought straight in to play. So if it Lewis (or whoever) he can then play next week. There won't be any restrictions on who we bring in to replace him as he was an established top player.The NRL won't allow them to be played. Bulldogs have been trying for a few weeks to get Lewis approved.

Can only replace them if they move clubs, get a long term injury or they retire.It's a dumb rule... can we swap players in top 30 if they haven't played yet?
What points? We’re not going to make the 8 so fuck the NRL blood anyone we can good or bad the experience will do them good.It would be loss of points
Anybody who savages the kid basically displays nothing more than the fact they have no idea about rugby league and should stop following it and get off the TK.I think Lewis has more potential then Frawley and is definitely better in defence but you’re right he’s not going to magically turn around our season.

ISP is a different game that only allows players to get to certain level. The NRL is of higher level that allows players to grow more and most likely quicker. Some players in sports just step up to the plate.... Lewis will be one of them. It will take a few years for the kid to dominate but he will get there.I watched the ISP game yesterday.
There is NOTHING to get excited about, most of the team need more time in ISP to develop, let alone first grade, which will just end up shortening their career.
