No doubt that's the reason Lewis is in the team...because of his long kicking game. He offers absolutely nothing else in attack. To think you can be a FG half just because you have a big boot is shocking. A big boot gets us field position but not points. Until we get Burton, were stuck with himI am sure an unpopular view but, I dont think he got hooked. I think Gerogarlis wanted to see if Wakeham might spark something with tired forwards around and thats why he made the change. You would have to ask SG yourself but I reckon Lewis kicking 550-600 metres a game and his better defence is keeping him in the squad.
When we have won or been competitive he has kicked 550 + and with Foran/JMK on the weekend it was over 1100 m.
Well it's a pretty shitty move tbh considering the condition and situation.I am sure an unpopular view but, I dont think he got hooked.

Can’t believe Montoya was kept just hoping it’s a smoke screen but surely isn’t. The guy wasn’t quick to start off with. Now he is on one leg. Not sure what the thinking what that is.I assume Lafia in for Holland, Smith in for Montoya to play against his cuzzy. To'omaga??
Montoya, Smith... doesn’t matter both are shit.Can’t believe Montoya was kept just hoping it’s a smoke screen but surely isn’t. The guy wasn’t quick to start off with. Now he is on one leg. Not sure what the thinking what that is.
Is it because Reimis has been a drop kick all year?
Hoppa will be back in the next few weeks. If no more injuries you’d think he’d slot In with with lafai which would either push averillo to fullback or the bench. With Meaney going to the wing or staying in the 1.
unless we go
hoppa
Zelezniak
Lafai
Averillo
Meaney
would much rather hoppa at centre though.

PS didn't a member on here bust that "better defender" myth?
I dont think it is that simple, sometimes with any team you have to make a plan on the run that suits the players you have. With a $1m+ player at 5/8 that drifts in and out of games when not injured and with only Wakes and Cogger as alternatives I think this is why Lewis is still in there.No doubt that's the reason Lewis is in the team...because of his long kicking game.

Lafai in for his defence so will start right.@Big M is Averillo switching to the right edge with Lafai playing on his prefered left edge?
Let’s hope my man Lafai gets his run this weekend.!!!I assume Lafia in for Holland, Smith in for Montoya to play against his cuzzy. To'omaga??
Yes exactly. He needs a few weeks at least to teach him he's not gonna get picked each week for just doing the basics + brain snaps that cost penalties and suspensionReimis needs a massive attitude adjustment so I'm happy he's not playing as this should teach him a lesson.....otherwise he can piss off
You're right, it is an unpopular view.I am sure an unpopular view but, I dont think he got hooked.

Lafai is hardly known for his defence, not to mention he is severely limited on the right side..odd move.Lafai in for his defence so will start right.
Agree, if either Holland or Montoya have to play for some reason, would prefer Holland.Either Smith comes in for Montoya, or swap Montoya with Holland. Holland although not much better than Montoya, does offer that little bit more in bringing the ball back. What have we become that we now can only replace average with bog average ffs
We can't and never will be able to rely on Foran and it's as simple as that. On a reduced contract and in a team with a more stable spine then Foz can absolutely be a match winner, unfortunately for us we don't have that. Lewis will play out the year and likely never see the halves again under Barrett.I honestly believe Foran prefers Lewis as his halves partner until we get a real Half back or 2. I have read that Lewis can't finish off games But I say leave that to the million dollar Halfback. Lewis just needs to stick to the basics and tackle everything that moves.
