As much as I’d love to see that spine, there’s more chance of pigs flying than a certain player being dropped from the matchday NRL side

Flanno has lost his mind

Is JDB struggling.

Yep we're not there yet.. and lets hope we win on the weekend and don't get there... but if we lost a 7th game in a row or an 8th etc.. something will give.

Seen a bunch of parra fans buzzing that JDB is not starting

Get his name engraved on the longest losing streak trophy

I understand that but Cook loses his impact

Dont know maybe they dont want to put any pressure on him coming up against his old side, one would have thought he may have wanted to prove a point.

They ran at him whilst he was on for 33 min made 34 tackles, 1 missed, had no impact as an attacker

His attacking stats were poor. The Eels are going for an attacking line up against us

As bad as Kerr and Sele?

I am happy for Sele to absorb the early pressure, and then bring Stewart on once the early aggression has gone out of the game.

Just me they will score points ...... The problem is can we out score them ........ ?

He was the worst in the Eels pack by quite a way

I've said that since last year tbh, whether he stayed with us or not... if ppl arent happy with him doing long minutes anymore... hes still a wonderful bench player.. makes an impact in attack or defence, whatever you need.. same with Cook.. these r old legs, just keep their minutes down, especially over a long season.
Problem for us is we have quite a few potential bench middles like LPT and Kerr.. possibly Leilua, maybe Stewart for this year.. so maybe we just didnt need Jack as another bench middle.. will say I do wish we had 1 or 2 blokes who could do 60 or 70mins without dropping off.. most clubs have atleast 1 (KK will be ours next year) who can pick up the slack when there are injuries etc.. especially with the extended bench potentially knocking out a forward from your rotation.

My game plan would be attack CT wing up against a far quicker player in the Fox

Agree I think 2 x 20 min would see him out now. He played 50 min in game 1 against the Storm and 5 runs only 50m, last week only played 37 min 8 runs 70m.
