How does Waddell go from dropped, to not even playing reserve grade to starting lock in the NRL? Make it makes sense.
Only reason I can think of is ciro probably thinks we lacked size in the middle, he is massive plodder tho

can’t wait to see back of him

He is not a bad option in the middle, diabolical on an edge though.

Was hoping for this backline. not sure about RFM at prop but maybe a little better than Sutton in attack.
Yes I don't mind him though the middle, I just don't understand him starting there now.

No way he actually made the Kiraz change

It's a no brainer. I do wonder what side Ciraldo will play Kiraz on though.
It's a good question. Burns was right centre last week with Kiraz outside him.. Maybe Kiraz goes to the left?

Ciro picked the back 5 I wanted


Then he went and did some random shit in the forwards

To be fair RFM has played well at prop when needed to and Waddell who I assume was suspended last week from Cup is a decent 13

Swap out Flanno for Nu and I’m happy

Not a terrible team, but Ciraldo still struggling to overcome his blind spot - pet selections (he's got a few).
Waddell was horrendous in 1st grade before being dropped, and did nothing in reggies except confirm it was the correct decision. A strange selection.
But, more right than wrong. So, there is that.
Probably one prop short on the bench. Can only really afford to carry two out of RFM, Waddles, & Okunbor, at most.

I think Burns will be left as a placeholder for Xerri, Wilson and Kiraz to be kept next year on that side if they perform
Burns did play left centre for a while at Souths so he can definitely play there. I like moving Kiraz to accommodate Wilson.. Kiraz has played well in the centres in the past.. My only worry with him at centre is his catch and pass which sometimes isn't the best. We'll see how he handles it..

Kiraz right hand carry will play right you would think. Unless they want to pair experience with Wilson but Burns can play either.

I'd probably play Burns on the left and Kiraz on the right. Both have a right arm carry but Burns has played there before and has the better all round game so would adapt to that side better that Kiraz imo.

Kiraz has a good offload which would come in handy at centre. Don’t forget he played right centre for the first few games he had in FG and killed it
