Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3354027, member: 8215"] I'm almost certain that Walters had narrowed down the #6 position to Walters and Mam. Kelly and Gamble both had games that did them no favours, but that's because they were mostly played at halfback, not in the position they were supposedly auditioning for. When they were played next to each other, whoever was playing halfback derped it up and prevented the other from being able to do anything from 6. IMO Walters will be #6, which will allow us to play Paix as the #14. Mam will play most of the season in Q-Cup and how he develops will determine if and when he gets a shot in first grade this year. As was said above, our defence was less of a worry as the errors. There was some poor discipline in giving away penalties as well (more on that soon), but the errors on the 1st or 2nd absolutely killed us. I would have thought that ball control, not defence, should have been the priority over the off-season. As for the penalties... well ****, it's going to be a lottery again and it will of course be controlled by the bunker and whatever agenda they want to entertain. It was clear that the penalties were not being called by the on-field ref as the "6 again" sound was played before the on-field ref ruled that it was inside the 40 and therefore a penalty, not 6-again. They were mostly all for "ruck infringements", the most subjective and easily manipulated of all penalties, so once again, prepare to be absolutely flogged in the penalties when playing against one of the NRL's darling teams. And whoever our best enforcer is needs to prepare to be neutered out of games by the bunker, or spend a good amount of time on the sidelines, just like Blair and TPJ had to endure in seasons gone.
