I am comparing Jacob with the props .. i am comparing Nick to any option in the team that gets him into first grade without decent demonstrated form and cant find any ...

I do like him .. but you are pumping his tyres way beyond what his season form deserves.
We’re 1-14 but let’s persist with Guler, Kerr and Lawrie to a point. Just makes zero sense to me.

Question for you: Would any other nrl club have Guler, Kerr or Lawrie on their bench??

Why should we persist with the above 3 and not get up to 9 games into Jacob and Nick considering they are both here next year and 2 of the 3 above won’t be. I wouldn’t be surprised that if Kerr asked for a release for 2027 that the club would seriously consider it.

Any other club with our top 30 - absolutely, at least one of them on the bench with Jacob.

Nick - not at all .. not ready, doesnt have the form/fitness and most importantly doesnt push Stewart/Luc/Egan evan Ryan out of an edge ... At least compare apples with apples. If Nick is in the top 17 we only play with 16 because we dont need him taking minutes of the better edge options.

Problem with Kerr will be the same as Lawrie, Gutho, Sloan. No other clubs will take them.

One thing I know is when Guler and Kerr are on the field together that’s about the time that things go south

Luc is not wanted and has been playing less than 30 mins a game for weeks now when he’s not injured or dropped to cup

Sele is on the outer for good reasons that i wont go into here but wont be with us next year either.
What's the deal with Sele, is it health related or behaviour? Surely if he's done something bad he shouldn't be used at Cup level either?

I see him as a better option than Lawrie/Guler/Kerr so not sure why he's been playing Cup for so long. I know there was speculation he was going to be allowed to leave mid season. I'm not a fan of letting players go mid season unless we have a replacement lined up. The only reason for that would be if you use the freed up funds to front load a contract offer to secure one of the young guns. Either way I'd still be using him.
