We've now won 2 in a row with a BYE squashed in-between. We're winning games with our 3rd and 4th/5th choice halves out there.
Obviously when Foran is "fit" he'll be brought back in straight away, but where does this leave Lachlan Lewis? This kid was firing last year and quickly was becoming our most important player. We won 4/5 games towards the back end of the season, and the one we did lose in that 5 string of games was the won Lewis was out injured.
There's no denying he has an aura about him and that he belongs somewhere in the NRL 17-man lineup, but the question is where?
I think we did him wrong this year giving him the number 7 jersey. Foran was no help at all in the first few games and all the responsibility was left to Lewis who'd played 9 NRL games at that point to steer a bus that had no engine. Of course he was going to fail.
The situation with the halves in our squad:
Cogger: Getting better with every game and has made me eat humble pie. I like him.
Wakeham: Has a bright future, but can't be expected to be consistent week in and out at his age.
Foran: Is made of glass. Has done some good things this year, but isn't reliable enough to last 80min every week. Biggest waste of money, sorry.
Lewis: If we don't make a decision soon on where he belongs, he'll get snapped up quickly from most NRL teams now. I think he's still a big part of our future, but I worry with Pay's indecisiveness Lewis will be left with no choice soon.
What's everyone's thoughts?
