I'm fine with JC not getting points as long as we're not losing games because of him, he's looked fine and always is going to be a threat, He's playing positions for the first time at NRL level and in a completely different way, I don't expect him to be getting 3 points. Holbrook has been clear about why he's doing it and it's the reason he's trained him in every position in pre season. We've been doing this for years now with Peachey and Smith, I'm taking JC 100% over those guys and this year they've actually trained JC to be someone who can fill in anywhere. We're also hoping for 80 min Hooker performances so we don't really need a 14 who plays 9.
The Tigers game when Foran came off and JC isn't there, Who do we put to 6? Move AJ then put Sami or Lofi there if JC isn't playing? Everything is then all on Tannah as well. Dragons game he came on and injected some spark but we were already beaten. Randall got a break against Titans with JC coming into the halves and Tannah going to 9, It just wasn't a straight up sub, They just switched the timing due to Boyds HIA as Holbrook said in the press conference.
There's 1 debutant left in the forwards and it's Alick, the club doesn't seem to think he's close to NRL level and from what I've seen he's not. Haas is an option but him playing 80 at Tweed is more useful to us and there's Sam Mac who I'm personally not a believer in.
It's just discussions haha, It's all in fun.
