Yes it would, Lewis' defence is MASSIVELY overrated. Just because he's a good fronton tackler doesn't mean he's a good defender. He would probably defend better in the middle than on an edge but in no way is he close to an elite defender like some of you are trying to make out. Refer to stats below.

Blaming coaching on Lewis is rubbish, his skillset has been shit through the grades and it isn't going to magically sort itself out in the NRL with a head coach that has a 29% (or whatever it is) win rate LOL.

View attachment 17216
The only player I have seen make consistently worse reads in defence is Jake Clifford

Would deff take the benji/green/Averillo combo in the halves..
staines Definitely fullback.!!

Burton
Brian To’o
Tommy T
Marty T

I mean, let’s call a spade a spade.. could go on all day naming the line up am whom we want, we just gotta hope TBAZ an co, Can lure Staines and burton over, then let the rest play out for signings etc... still exciting times no matter what way you cut it.!!!

I agree with him that Lewis should be lock. Not sure I agree with some of the other calls though.

You really can be a funny *****...It’s nothing to do with the coaching when it’s Lewis, but it’s everything to do with the coaching when it’s Wakeham or To’omaga..? Mate the only thing that is overrated is your opinion of certain players.
You were signing Thompson’s death warrant one week and then claiming you were right that he should be in the front row the next..!

Stick to soccer champ

I hope we fight it
You have to fight it imo. Use McGuire examples as getting off. Say he was behind him trying to regather for a tackle and came into contact with his eye with no intention to gouge... I think 2-4 weeks would be fair for a first offence

I think Lachlan Lewis will play lock
He has the same attributes as victor radley
I think Barret will do it. Lewis can tackle.
Benji Marshall will join us for 1 year to develop Averillo into a solid half.
Blake green will come in mid year and Averillo will be benched. Marshall and green can steer bulldogs into the top eight.
Matt burton will join us in 2022.
Averillo and burton the future halves.
Charlie Staines will be the bulldogs long term fullback.
That side is fucking shit sorry

Okonbur at centre over Cotric ?
Lewis at lock ?
Marshall at 35 ?
JMK at hooker ?
3 backrowers on the bench ?

Can someone tell me what's so good about Brandon Smith?
From what I hear, he's a pig nugget.

Is that going to help us?

Yh bro, RFM will be benched so we can start Lewis in the forwards HAHA.
Ye I thought the same,but Lewis best asset is his defense,I don’t think defensively we have a better player at the club,he’s general game certainly needs work,but I think he may be worth a shot at lock.

A lot of people are promoting players like Staines, Burton and Schuster. I agree they show promise.
However, they are just boys. We all know about promoting boys who are not ready for NRL. We tried that.
All the promise they have shown is because of another players effort.
They are still learning and wont be at their top for probably 3 years.
We need established NRL quality players, not boys.

He passes better than Holland
He hits the ball up better than Holland
He tackles harder and better than Holland
He is smarter than Holland
He makes better decisions than Holland
He has a better footy brain than Holland

And most importantly, he is wanted by teams to play footy, unlike Mr Holland.

What is the difference between the 7 & 6 in the modern game?
Okay would you ever see josh renoylds play with number 7 on his back? No way

why beCause he is all heart bunny rabbit with no organisation skills.

there is a difference if you don’t agree that’s fine but I doubt baz would agree with you.

aome 6’s have it in them to be turned into a 7 and I have a feeling Burton could become a 7
