How good is it to have a coach prepared to give these young fellas a go !

 

[Sco77y]

That's different. Anyone seen much of Bayley Siro? Opinion?

 

[rex2ce]

He's been playing 6 in ISP this year

 

[Yossarian]

Happy for Bailey to get a go but not sure about him and JLJ on the bench.

I doubt both will be in the final 17….

So do I but you can only go by what's been named

 

[weststigerman]

How strange.

Didn't think Sirro was close to FG and I thought he was being let go after this year.

 

[Geo]

Littlejohn will play if Brooks is out…

I seem to remember earlier in the year a quite a few were calling for Littlejohn to replace Brooks permanently..

That is an interesting backrow. They can all have an impact with the ball.

It's interesting to see how quickly people have changed their tune about Chee-Kam. 4-5 weeks ago no one wanted him in the first grade side.

He has performed a lot better over the last couple of weeks.

Don't mind the backrow. I think Chee-Kam goes ok there, he's got decent speed and footwork and doesn't shirk the dirty hitups either. His defence could be improved but he's certainly a better backrower than centre.

Young Sirro is a surprise, but good luck to him all the same. Haven't heard whether he's staying or going so it might be a chance for Cleary to confirm whether he's worth keeping around next year for depth.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Siro has definitely come from left field, but good luck to him.

 

[weststigerman]

Chee-kam has been going great lately. Previously he'd have brain explosion or give away a silly penalty each game but lately he's been great, should've had a try assist last week.

 

[Spartan117]

The Cleary effect is real, This group should be a rabble but they are actually engaged and performing cohesively.

I didnt expect to be withing 20 of the roosters.

Well done. WTs

 

[Bozo97]

Really Hoping Heleta gets a chance, been waiting so long for his shot. Good luck to Young Siro as well

Yep he sure has, as have Grant, Kev and Sue - all players most of us were happy to see the back of after this season! Cleary has somehow been able to improve their games immensely.
