Ravalawa 4 game suspension.

Rava needs to use the 4 weeks to train in the forwards. I know its almost certain Flanno and dunces will see it as "too risky for the NSW Cup team" but why not? He's big enough to be a forwards but not fast enough to be a good winger. Before jodragon40 jodragon40 gives me a baking about "how hard the transition is" and etc, I know he's unlikely to succeed but his days as an NRL winger are over so why not give it a try?

I've explained this in detail on many occasions. In my view it simply won't happen.

I know it's unlikely to work out. I said that. But more likely to work out for him as a winger from now. What is there to lose? Is Flanno more concerned about the NSW Cup team?

I remember a few years back that I had mentioned elsewhere that Aitken moving into the forwards was where he was better suited .......

He's a gun backrower, TBH. Rava is bigger and can pass. Probably doesn't have the stamina to last a long time in the middle but who knows?

There is a big difference between Aitken and Rav in relation to reading the attacking structures of the opposition and playing with the defensive structures in the middle of the park. I love Rav but he is not the most intelligent player running around when it comes to defending.

Luckily Zac will be back so Bird won't get named in the centres. At least I hope he isn't.

Need to get out of the habit even considering Bird start in the centres unless 2 of:
  • Lomax
  • Suli
  • Finau x 2
Are unavailable. Even then I'd be handing Hayden Buchanan his debut. Or moving Rava into the centres.

Flanno has been unbelievably lucky with the injuries this season. Imagine being in round 19 and only having 2 fringe first graders out and one fringe first grader who technically isn't even on the books this season.

ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS​

Raymond Faitala-Mariner (back, Round 19)
Hame Sele (shoulder, Round 19)
Jesse Marschke (hamstring, Round 19)
Mat Feagai (shoulder, TBC)
Cody Ramsey (illness, indefinite)
Corey Allan (knee, 2025)
