The fall of JD begins with dropping Ilias. He is certainly not the premier halfback in the NRL, a long way from it. But he is the best 7 in their squad. Hawkins is not at his level, end of story. If JD stuck solid with Ilias instead of dropping him, the only way he can be in the amount of trouble he is now is if someone higher up demanded Ilias be dropped.I've always thought Ilias was average and he kind of deserved to be dropped but no doubt he's let Latrell get away with everything and it's affected the team for years. Dropping Cook is absurd though.
Meanwhile Ilias' few games at Cup level have shown that he is better than Cup level, and then he copped the fracture. Now JD has dropped Cooky. He is a dead man walking.
