Can anyone figure out why Corey Allan who is physically completely washed btw, has been given the nod ahead of Lawson who’s an absolute specimen and has been good in cup lately?

The only thing I can think of is Lawson isn’t top 30 and Allan is….

He went ahead and made LKT halfback. Looks like he is being set up to fail.
I can only imagine Finau is injured again.
I would pick Lawrie before Guler but I guess it's a toss-up between the two.
I noticed Leilua's sponsor. Does that mean he has no sponsor and the leagues club becomes the default? He should try and get a deal with McDonalds or Coca Cola. He appears to be a good customer.

I'm a bit perplexed about LKT named at 7 and Flanagan 6. Anyone aware if LKT has played 7 during his junior football days? I suppose that 6 could still be the game manager in these days.

Starting the 2 rising stars Egan/Stewart is a risk but worth taking this early in the season. Is Finau injured or just dropped?

Maybe because he thinks LKT is more of a game manager than his son ........ I had a feeling that was about to happen when I asked the question ........

Pretty funny when flanno said si finau has a block of games in 1st grade now but then drops him after 1 game

Don't look into the number 6 & 7. Kyle will essentially play the illias role which is halfback.
So why does he name Kyle to play 5/8?

What is it with Flanno and Finau? I guessed a while ago it was something personal. Flanno might not make it publicly known but there must be something going on there. And Lawson is a much better option than Allan anyway.

Maybe just laziness. Who knows. I only care about the roles they play.

Not sure, I had a look at Finau stats from last week's embarrassing loss:

ATTACK- 16 runs, 189m, 31m post contact, TB - 1, including that 1st half runaway try

DEFENCE- 2 tackles 1 missed

Again I'm perplexed
 
Has corey played wing in nsw cup? I thought he's mainly played centre.
Thats 2 of us, and he has, but he was signed as a winger from Easts in 23 missed the whole of 24 with his acl injury. So he is a winger but hasn't actually played that position since the Elimination final in that year.
