Can't afford to have CNK/Walker having quiet games settling in. No time for that when we are trying to get one over Souths and climb the ladder after losing two winnable games to start the season. Would prefer them playing cup this week and returning the week after. If we are going with form we can't look past RTS performance this week.

RTS was phenomenal with the ball in hand and making metres, but it was a bit like Manu's ~400 at FB for the Kiwis... incredible individual performance, but not necessarily what the team needed.

Rog will be better for the run at FB, but I'd be shuffling him back to the centres. His lack of ball playing (or just general passing - he had the same run-pass ratio as DWZ for comparison) doesn't fit into the game plan that Webby would prefer to play and his 1:1 defensive efforts aren't as good as where he was at before he went to yawnion. Big call, I know, but I'd have more faith in a returning CNK to stop Latrell after he busts through our line than RTS based on a few of his misses over the past few weeks.

That being said, every game this year has given me more confidence that Roger will be in the Dally M centre talks come the end of the year! Good opportunity for TMM to show off his distribution skills

I was listening to Cheese who was on James Graham's podcast and he mentioned that we are leading the comp alongside Penrith in terms of dominating field position (ie most times oppositions tackled inside their 10 and most times starting our sets from the 30). Until our attack comes back, we will always put ourselves in position to win games by grinding our opposition out of the game with this type of gameplan. Maybe that was Webby's plan for the early stages of the season until we get our full strength spine back and become capable of executing our shape from last year.
