A worry for me is that club considers Casey a first grade player. His performance today is how he plays. He only debuted to injuries but anyone who has seen him play in flegg and NSW cup know he is a mistakeathon, followed by a send off and occasionally something freaky with no defence in between. There are dozens of better more consistent outside backs in sgball, flegg n NSW cup than Casey okunbor n lumelume.

How he went today wasn't surprising.

Couldn’t give him another go after today. Back to Reggie’s, put on some good performances and wait for your next shot. It was probably the worst game he has played in years and it happened to be on his NRL debut.
Allen is by far a superior player at the minute.

Not his worse, equal to his worse, that's how he plays.

This is so true its not funny.
If whoever picks these players went to a brothel, they would choose the fat old scrubber before the young hotties.

The club struggles to identify quality outside backs or is unable to develop them.

In junior n flegg Eli Clarke looks solid scores a lot of tries but is probably too small. Burns played well in Reggie's.

Im looking at other clubs, not ours.
We have poor depth.

Casey needs a bit more time in NSW cup - bad game to debut in - he was ambushed and went into a downward spiral

Casey got lucky he got knocked out, saved himself from further disgrace. Worst debut in the history of debuts. Dropped the ball every time he got it. Useless. How can you make so many stupid mistakes. One okay. Two okay. But every time he got the ball he stuffed it up. Put the team under all sorts of pressure

If that is the case you wonder how they get through..what is recruitment doing.. Look at Melbourne‘s Grant Anderson recently, scored two tries on debut ..Bellamy did not really know him..only picked because someone who normally is the go to replacement was injured..But he was ready.. Actually he played Under 20s NSW and had a blinder..

Loads of them. Manly/ Blacktown have got some, Penrith have a heap.

Need to move on Casey lumelume okunbor to create opportunities for signings.

I think Casey was a left over from previous regime. Lumelume okunbor are current regime mistakes

He had the kind of debut game that he would want to forget in a hurry. Thanks to his concussion…he will.
