I am probably going to get blasted but is anyone else starting to think that Berry is a waste of time?
Too many injuries and has moved our most dangerous attacking threat to a side where he is only a shadow of himself attacking wise (Ali L). Berry is starting to remind me of Ethan Blackadder, I would be tempted to cut my losses and invest into others.

In the presser yesterday, Ivan pretty much confirmed that Penrith SOO stars won't back up for this game. Given that in mind, I'd be tempted to give not only capes the week off but also Egan if he's still nursing that complaint. He's too important for us to be sitting on the sideline for an extended period if he aggravates an injury from coming back too early.
 
So imo Healey is better suited for the bench, he can spell Egan & instead of Egan trying to pace himself & play big mins, he can play the first 30 & final 25-30, bringing his strength of ruck speed, running the ball & craftiness when he’s not knakkered making 50 tackles. Healey comes on the final 10 of the half against tired bodies, runs a muck & plays the first 15 or so of the second.

However, currently TMM is there to cover any backline & hooker positions should there be an injury. Until our centres are back, and capes is moved back to the back row, we need to carry TMM.

Healey is our best 14 when we’re at full strength, make no doubt about that. The kids a future star.

Our centres were back against rabbits and TMM was still carried on the bench with Capewell returning to second row. Webster has said they’d rather carry a utility than a backup hooker at this point

Once SJ explained all the 1% stuff I realized how valuable Berry is, unlocking DWZ and forcing opposition to start behind their 20m and never get to an attacking kick. Ali was given the chance on the right as we wanted and he truly messed up by not chasing against the Raiders causing them to start over the 30m line leading to constant attacking bombs from Fogarty, thus he was dropped and has his "work ons" now. Both are injury prone TBH

I'd send Berry to the US to get his hammies right if it's becoming chronic like Metcalf before, who's managing well now.

PS I'm not even a Berry disciple, wait till one of them get on your a$$ lol
