Mutual fans seem quite split on this in my experience but I do think if we had kept Jayden and let Blayke go we probably wouldn’t be in a drastically different spot since (assuming his injury doesnt happen
for us)
Blayke is literally all hype

Micheal Licha vibes except we continue to put money into him

Yep, mob mentality.

That's right, the mob has caught on to wanting more from their 9

He's just a filler in our squad.

Hasn't really matured in his position, he's there cause we don't have any one better. Can make a case for McInnes.

The club don't view him as a filler though - they have backed him hard to be our future and something special

It doesn't help that we have Ennis back at the club singing Blaykes praises while seemingly doing little to improve his game

While Blayke is still young I agree he hasn't really matured or evolved alot at this point, he has gotten more bland if anything. If this were his first season of NRL I would be impressed but it isn't, he debut back when we still had Sorro, Capewell, Boogs and Xerri in our squad in 2019

feel old yet? haha

other than his defense and being less frantic I can't think of many aspects of his game that have improved all that much and like I said some things have actually regressed

Just because we don't have anyone better right now doesn't mean Blayke should be immune to criticism because we need to at least be open minded about exploring options. The coaches focus is probably elsewhere (not like he doesn't have alot of other stuff to fix)

We need the resurgent Nikora to give Blayke a pep talk on shaking the OWB tag

McInnes to 9
Talakai into the forwards
Iro into the centres
Iro is not the answer. Defence is worse then Talakai. Go back and watch Nsw cup highlights this week.
Talakai defense will improve if Moylan was dropped when Hynes is back and Trindel defends in Moylans spot.

danny levi ran for 14m in 3 minutes

blayke ran for 16m in 80 minutes

this bloke is a ****ing fraud
Obviously Fitz doesn't read this form otherwise he would be aware of Brailey's major issues . Maybe Sir Chad needs to let Fitz know how his No 9 needs to play.

And you noticed Levi earlier. Starting to think you have a fetish for disguarded hookers

He’s scared to run the footy, every time he sees an opportunity he stops running and looks to offload completely negating our momentum, McInnes to hooker.

You'd definitely have a bloke who wasn't afraid to run the footy... not sure what else he could do in that role these days, but you'd definitely have that

One more thing than what Brailey does.

He is not getting benched, even though that may be the right call because his dad is part of the woodwork of the club.

Give berrel a crack even. He isn’t really an upgrade on brailey but it might atleast shoot a rocket up braileys arse to pull his finger out.

North Queensland would take him. They love taking our rejects and then beating us in the finals.

Playing behind the weakest slowest forward pack in the comp. Pretty dam hard to do anything other than pass.

3 games and as good as Trindal has been he hasn’t organised anything around the ruck or demanded the ball. When you don’t have a half demanding the ball and all you have is forwards lining up for crash plays it doesn’t give many options.

I’m not a Braily fan boy but he is the least of our problems.
