From the highlights package only I’m pretty impressed with Millers attacking game

Yeah but just wondering why?

Because he is an impact forward and the other two are more of a worker.
Hunt and Williams might end up the starters anyway

Pele has a long way to go before he can try and do a Junior Paulo impression and be a huge impact forward as a starter with decent minutes.

Rotation probably. It's more about the minutes than where they were on the game card imo.

Williams and Hunt over 50. Pele and Dillon ~40, Hazelton and Rennie ~30. Slade ~20.

Fits well for Pele to do Fifitas current role too, finish off first half strongly against tiring team, get a the breather and bring some size to pressure opposition to start the half. Maybe another little stint right at the end

Probably stating the obvious but Pele's development has imo been held back due to Covid, he's obviously not alone across the game and at the Sharks but he's potentially missed nearly 2 full seasons of NSW cup due to Covid.

Also if he didn't injure his foot last year might have snagged a few more games in first grade too.

He's pretty far down the pecking order this year, and even next but depends who we keep this year. Assuming we keep one of Uele and Hunt.

Only just realised that the Jets are live on Kayo at the moment. Only 25min to go.
