RFM and Burns are named as reserves. Flanno and Wads named in cup team. Whereas, Hoffman, Burns and RFM are not. One hopes this means Perham isn't there come Sunday.

He doesn't even make the top 50 for handling errors. Burto, Dufty and JMK do, however. I think Waddell gets unfairly criticised on here.

Can we move on from the bulldog's DNA rhetoric FFS

That's unfortunate. He might have been a chance of getting a start this week.

Is Credence Toia injured? He wasn't named in nsw cup.

Maybe. I think it's a sign that he's frustrated and can't rely on anyone else to make something happen in attack.

Someone might have posted already...Waddel's out injured. Patolo named at second row and Schoupp on the bench. Allen and Ava on the extended bench.

I think he can learn and grow into the role. It gets shared around in other teams. Paps plays as a third half for the Storm. Tedesco does the same for the Roosters. I don't think the team needs an organising half, but Avo like Burton and Dufty need to be more dominant in directing the attack.

Only one penalty comes to mind and I thought it was Cummins getting on a role caning the Dogs more so than a genuine penalty. I'm not fussed either way if he's in or out of the team.

Thought Waddell was strong tonight. His defence saved two possible tries in the first half; he ran strongly too. I think JAC's talking is invaluable, at one point he was shouting at Jacko to get the boys together. Teams need multiple leaders. It was a solid team effort.

He’ll be partnering Jackson in the halves, which means Burton and Naden will be our centres.

You must be short on patience. If anything can be inferred from team selections late this season, Kyle won’t be in the starting 17. Don’t be surprised if Jacko gets a run at 7. Showed some deft touches and sleight of hand in the link man role late in the season.

I reckon Jacko should be given first crack at half back next year. Showed some glimpses of what he’s capable of as a link man late in the season. Not afraid to take the line on either. He fits the steady experienced player mould that Burton apparently needs to excel.

He seems more suited to playing what’s in front of him and backs himself e.g. the dropout that found touch. He appears to lack the speed and athleticism to excel; happy to be proven wrong.
