tl:dr

- Barrett has spoken with Lewis, wants to work with him on some things when he arrives
- Georgie has opened things up more for the halves
- Georgie working on Lewis' end of set options, says he was getting 3/10 right, now its closer to 7/10, but needs to be 10/10.
So...how the hell did he get to reggies (let alone FG) without knowing how to finish a set? Surely that’s fundamental for a half?

I had to laugh when it said he lacked self belief. He certainly doesn't have a large skill set so he must have self belief to keep pushing on in the game, living off his uncle's name.

Overall looks like SG will persist with him and he's in Barrett's plans which isn't great. Everything crossed we can get Burton or someone else decent.
If he is seriously in Barretts plans, than I'll start it off

Hard to say for certain. The results since he left are starting to look bad for Pay, but in hindsight you gotta wonder if Deano overplayed the "we're a young team" card both in public and private. Seems like it became self-fulfilling prophecy.
I still believe what I said prior to Pay's signing, if he or Dymock get the job they are both rookies and needed senior mentors the likes of M. Hagan or C. Anderson.
The worst thing to happen to Pay was the new management, they stripped the roster from Graham, Morris brothers, Klemmer, Woods and Mbye, then they wanted him gone then flipped on their decision and gave a one year extension to suit their long term ambitions then helped him to quit instead of getting pushed.

Lewis is not a ball player

Lewis does not have any explosive power

Lewis does not possess any leg drive

Lewis is not light on his feet. He runs like he is running through quicksand.

Lewis does not have an offload.

Lewis does not have any attributes whatsoever to play at lock, or anywhere on the field for that matter.

Hopefully Barrett advises Lewie that his future is at Mal Meninga's fruit shop as a fruit shop assistant

Lewis is good defender
Lewis is a good kicker

That's a drop kick analysis. Kid can play footy and has the attitude for it. His no superstar ball player or a hard running forward but his got enough to play first be it many positions on a footy field.. where that is still remains questionable.

The averillo try was off a very bad pass that made zelezkiak stop and wait and catch it almost behind his back. This stopped his momentum and luckily averillos brilliance or luck allowed us to still score. The montoya try i will agree was much better from him. The last play of the game though, went straight for a midfield bomb..... not the right call and no other half would make that.

For him to come out and state he has unlocked his attack is very worrying. Kid just doesnt have the skill or vision at all. One thing he is doing better is carrying the ball forward. At the start of the restart his pass to run ratio was something like 16:1. Atleast last game it was down to 4:1 or so. Shame he is around for another season, just hope Stevie is happy to take losses with players that could develop rather then keeping him in the side so we avoid copping 40 point losses.

Got some Goss from a person who is VERY close to DWZ.

Of course if needed I'll inform admin who the source is.


Pay was forced to play Lewis by the board. Board made him play him even though he didn't want to.

No one on the team rates Lewis. The team feels he stifles the attack and the backs don't get enough ball.

DWZ feels he struggled at fullback because of Lewis as he does not give good ball to the fullback/backs.

DWZ left penriff because Cleary (coach) asked the team why morale is so low so DWZ told him that Cleary (player) always rocks up to training late and nothing is said/done while other players were dropped for being 5 minutes late.
