Toff Sipley in for Boyle once he is fit again.
Best team?

I wouldn't have Api to be honest.
Against the Warriors, when we were coming fast, he throws a forward pass, we lose momentum, they score, game over.
Last night, knocks the ball on at dummy half, gives away a penalty in the next set, they score of that.
We just look better with Fainu on the field.

40 nil
It's only a game ...
The club physio mentioned that both Sirro & Parker may be fit to play against the Raiders. Whenever they return, they will obviously both regain their places. I think Gosiewski will reclaim his place on the bench with Boyle maybe likely to drop out as Waddell can cover more positions. It seems Elliot will be first choice to cover fullback, centre & wing injuries. He has pace and flair in attack, but maybe his game awareness is not the best. At fullback he was fearless under the high ball and made some very good one on one tackles. However, his positional play in defence was lacking at times.
Edit: As Jack was in the starting team last night, it appears he may be ahead of Waddell in the pecking order. Then again, it may have just been a straight right edge for right edge replacement. To my thinking, Waddell has not been playing as well as earlier in the year after returning from suspension. As @HoldenV8 remarked, Des likes big boppers, so it may be Boyle who stays.

Good point . Passing time also gives the defensive team time to rush up and stop the momentum of the player receiving the pass.
Centre looks to be his real position. Just needs to learn when to pass! Suli to the wing next year?
Absolutely, but he is out for the year.
Agree with both Waddell & Jetski ahead of Boyle - lightweight for the role, but more impact.

I like the look of that team..
Between Waddell and JetSki- it is a tough one after seeing Jetski play so well last night, but ultimately I’d go with Waddell ahead of Jack in the 17 if all fit.
Waddell has less penalties, safer hands, tighter defence and doesn’t get knocked over or rag dolled like Jetski can sometimes.
I see Waddell as a Second Row/ Prop
& JetSki as a Second Row/ Centre
But in the event of a a backline player going down, we have a fresh Fainu or a refreshed Api to push Walker out to the centres to minimise changes and moving from natural positions.
Plan B would cover all the bases too so this is a great ‘predicament’ : )
It's Waddell's first season of NRL and he burst on the scene with a bang, I expect Des is taking some pressure of the lad currently because he wants him in good nick for when the whips start cracking.
Can you believe this discussion, I mean 12 months ago we wanted to sack the lot of them ( well almost all).
What a pleasure it is to have good back ups when we get an injury.

Yes , I am afraid we all have our favourites here ......
I used to watch Sesame street and I liked both elmo and agro but agro was my favourite because he was both agro by name and by nature
The same with waddell / elmo and JetSki / agro . I like them both but agro wins again here
Jack "Agro" Gosiewski is the Man !!!
The better Robbo
Bencher
What is has shown again is that Des really does know best. Whatever way Des goes im sure it will be the right decision regardless of what we think
Isn't that Oscar the grouch?
You could be right
But hey , thats ok
Jetski is a grouch as well .
He is very grumpy on the field
Mate what is the matter with you ?. Havent you seen Sesame Street ?

Jeez Oscar the grouch’s Seasme Street was ‘tame’ compared to Agro’s Cartoon connection..
Still can’t believe what was aloud to be done and said on Aussie television back then- and on a kids morning show!!
I was just old enough to vividly remember some of these classic moments..
