Agreed. Paulo has more experience, but that missed tackle for the Rabbit's first try made me vom.

Gonna need it against the chooks
Capewell offers so much more imo

They play different roles
True, but Paulo in the side means Bukuya plays right edge, Paulo middle? Bukuya could play middle and Capewell right edge. Depends on Lewis minutes I guess.

mind boggling isn't it. Paulo has actually improved as the season has gone on. I wasn't overly impressed with him when he first started playing
I will say though regarding capewell. I'd rather have capewell in the 14 then ricky or beale if flanno goes back to having a back in the 14
I'll be joining you. Cheer on the boys but if they lose use the winnings from the roosters on beers

We got this, ennis looked real edgy and siihted off on 360 tonight, nothing he said or did just from a body language point of view... He will have a blinder this week.

The way i see it is there's a spot for a middle third and a spot for an edge guy between Paulo, Boogie and Capewell.
While I love what Capewell brings and agree he's a huge talent. You have to pick the man that's best suited for the role.
That being: (of the 3 mentioned)
Middle: Paulo
Edge: Boogie
Next year though I'd be giving Lewy the flick. His body will break down. Start Boogs on the right edge and have Capewell take that edge backrower role off the bench. That frees up space for us to chase another middle third guy. Big Nelson from the Storm comes to mind.

Ok, bit of forewarning, this post will probably be one long ramble. Mainly things that I've been thinking at work today.
So our form lately is very much a cause for concern. Though it says a lot about our year that we haven't won in 4 straight games yet are still in second. Unfortunately, we have fallen apart at just about the worst possible time. Teams have figured out our attack and the team looks lost in confidence.
The strange thing is, despite being very pessimistic, I still have part of me that believes. Maybe, because I can't accept the fact that we don't have a serious crack at it? All it take is one good win and we're back. We can still not win another game in the regular season only to win three finals games and win it all. This team is stacked. Look at it! There isn't a player on this team that I can seriously say that is a weak link. Not like the old days when Pom was the obvious answer, despite being a cult hero. I think we all know who last year's weakness was...
The finals are a new competition, we hear that every year. For us, we have to hope our boys do turn it around. I know we can win it all but the momentum of the team is killed. I feel like we're going into an exam without studying. Sure, you might pass but you're setting yourself up to fail and all you have is hope that you'll scrape through.

I think Lewis is signed for next year mate, just waiting for pen to paper. He goes well in attack, his penalties and defense let us down at times though. He has made it this far this season, I reckon his body is good to go round another year

Fair enough. It's not what I would have done, but willing to see how it all works out. Have a lot more trust in Flanno/The Clubs judgement now than in years past.

Lewy was looking iffy in D after 15mins on Monday. He's still got something to offer but he's only gonna get worse and I don't see him being a cog in premiership team beyond 2016.
I'm good with re signing Lewis, but I think he should get less minutes. Regarding the Paulo/Capewell debate, as Bukuya can play middle as effectively IMO as Paulo, then is Capewell better than Boogs on that right edge? I'd say no, BUT, he possibly offers something we're lacking, which is the ability to break the line and score tries. He may be more dangerous than either boogs or Paulo. Nows not the time to find out, they needed to do that after the Penrith win during origin but no one changes a winning side.
