I disagree, I think they've BOTH earned the right to keep their spots, especially over Foran.Cogger has earned the right to stay in the team. Lewis hasn’t.
I wouldn't have a problem if Foran sat the year out so I agree but it looks like Foran is playing so if one misses out it's Lewis.I disagree, I think they've BOTH earned the right to keep their spots, especially over Foran.
I agree Cogger probably brings more of a point-of-difference to Foran than Lewis does, I just think they both deserve to play on. People can say the wins came too late, which is correct, but they HAVE come, with Cogger/Lewis being the combo. Like you, I'd be happy enough to see Foran sit out the year, I don't believe in the logic "he's on that much coin, we HAVE to play him!" Add to that the very real concern that Foran gets injured again during the game, we can't have a back-up hooker AND half on the bench, it leaves us short elsewhere.I wouldn't have a problem if Foran sat the year out so I agree but it looks like Foran is playing so if one misses out it's Lewis.
Playing short stints off the bench would greatly increase the chance of a soft tissue injury and burn interchanges.Foran has greater ability than the two put together. sadly his body fails him at times.
The best solution is to play Foran off the bench, and bring him on when needed and in short stints.
I think that would also extend his game time.
Also I think JMK should be the 80 minute hooker.

So does Terry Lamb, maybe we should get him to throw on a jersey. The irony is, Lamb would probably last longer than Foran injury-wise at the moment...Foran has more ability it is left big toe (when it's not injured) than the other 2. He must be in the team when he is fit to play. You guys seem to forget that when the rest of the team were struggling earlier in the year the only shinning light was Foran. While he is contracted and fit to play he must play first grade.
I agree with some of the other guys, Lewis to the bench, JMK starts and Lichaa plays A grade for Moorebank Rams.
Probably waiting for Sweet Caroline to come on, heard we know how to partry.Any reason we keep getting the new lady ref?...I don't mind because that at least means it's not Sutton or Cummins but I think that's 3 in a row
Third time lucky....King Ding-a-ling is back in the side.Probably waiting for Sweet Caroline to come on, heard we know how to partry.
Probably because dogs are not in contention for the 8 as they are probably keeping her away from the bigger gamesAny reason we keep getting the new lady ref?...I don't mind because that at least means it's not Sutton or Cummins but I think that's 3 in a row
I still think if Pay picks Foran, Lewis would be the better option. Foran and Cogger playing together was quite stale and kicking games were horrible with them.If Pay does pick Lewis over Cogger, it confirms the comments people have made about him having a simplistic game plan.. Cogger shows so much more promise in attack than Lewis... Sounds like Pay found Hasler game plan book where he stated " we will win if we can keep the opposition to 14 points or less.
I think we all know when right Foran is better by far than both the other 2. And considering he has a decade more experience and is being paid what he is, he bloody well better be lol. I think ppl are talking more about which combination seems to work best. This year so far our best form has been the Lewis / Cogger combo surprisingly.Foran has more ability it is left big toe (when it's not injured) than the other 2.

TBH i think Lewis' kicking is terrible.. he found the fullback on every occasion in the past few games and that results in the opposition starting there sets on at least the 30 metre line. At least cogger finds teh grass or the sideline on occasions, probably not regularly enough but still way more than lewis.I still think if Pay picks Foran, Lewis would be the better option.

Gotta say though that Coggers kicking game has improved the past few weeks.
Yeah Cogger also finds the bloke 1m in front of him a lot also costing us 40m.TBH i think Lewis' kicking is terrible.. he found the fullback on every occasion in the past few games and that results in the opposition starting there sets on at least the 30 metre line.

Any way the old saying, "attack is the best form of defense" should be our mantra .. not "lets pick lewis so he can stop S. Burgess". thats a real negative mind set
