Barrett is not dropping Waddell, regardless if he broke covid protocols or not. Stop being silly guys, don't do this denial shit to yourselves
He has no choice mate. Those 5 have to self isolate for 14 days

Would love too see Avo have a go at FB, but we will need him in the 6 or 7 this weekend.!!

So apart from playing 70 mins and making 40 tackles in one game what else has he done in his time here?

He shouldn't be in the top 30 and has been a major disappointment and has in no way earned a shot at NRL.
I think the builder is an old coach at the Colts

We don’t need him at 6 or 7 this weekend.

Let’s not get carried away thinking he is anything special as a half. He does a job but there but he is far from an NRL level half.

Give him game time NOW at 1.
in a season that is gone already.

1. Averillo

6. Lewis
7. Flanagan

That would also be my ideal spot for him too, but he will be named in the halves I’m guessing. Unless TBAZ looks at the big picture and let’s him show his skills in the 1.

Na, Flanagan is rubbish and Jake has to play halfback for the remainder of the season if we don't want the spoon.

Sorry Shire Dog I'm just a footy tragic and 56 year old doggies supporter.

Not saying the boy is ready now but I see the potential that can be blooded in NSW cup for a few more years. That's all I'm saying.

Most middles aren't ready properly till 23 to 25 years old.

See this whole quarantine as a massive opportunity.

Let's give some of the youngsters a shot. Drop Meaney for starters.
For who?
When was the last time anyone else made a break fend and offload?
Atoni and Ogden back in with a rocket up their asses.
Allen back for Tui.
Where is the team list?
fook its only monday..

The tea lady for all I care.

We're shit so we may as well blood some youngsters for some experience. The team is seriously lacking in desire and hunger. One moment there, next moment not.

Put some youngens in there and see how they go. Fuck. We can't be worse than we have been.

The spoon is ours. I agree that Flanagan is rubbish but Giving Averillo minutes at one is much more important for next season than any desperate attempt to avoid the spoon.
There's absolutely no point in shifting Jake to fullback right now, would be an absolute disaster. The halfback gets all the quality ball in our current system so all your going to do moving him now is limit his opportunities with the ball and put him under massive defensive pressure.

Move him to fullback after a season training for the role and when a better option at halfback is available. Baz also needs to tweak the system so we're not overly reliant on a halfback and the 6 and 1 aren't basically useless for 90% for the game.

All good just a bit of a joke referring back to his junior club.
I definitely haven’t been following our club as long as you but do consider myself a staunch supporter .
Tbh it’s on Potter and TB to make the big calls I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion.

James will be judged accordingly and his future will become a lot clearer very soon.
