What to do with BJ?

BJ Leilua when at the Raiders was one of the best centres in the game and he still believes that. But to anyone who watched the magpies (Highly recommend watching it next weekend or the highlights against knights), he was still pathetic. The left edge is still our bad side in the NRL. I think they should bring up Cini or Hoffman and Talau on the wing and drop Kepaoa. Bj is still contracted until 2022 and I think he should be shown the door, now or in 2022.
Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure it is the Club's Option for 2022. So i expect this to be his last year here.
 
Why settle for highlights when you can watch the full game

Jock Madden looked amazing. Same with Kiah Cooper, Zac Cini, Jake Simpkin, Tuki, Fitzgibbon and Dockar Clay
 
BJ won’t have his option taken based on form and the salary. Watching the NSW cup game yesterday he’s lost explosiveness which can happen to big players dropping weight.

For some reason he moves slower laterally and in attack. Makes no sense since he dropped 10kgs + Read somewhere we are chasing Naden cmon seriously what are we doing.

Sounds like both of our teams have finally struck gold , or silver, or bronze.

BJ does a good job of scaring NSW Cup opposition players.

I heard the ABC commentator who stated BJ is unfit even for NSW Cup. He doesn't appear the streamlined figure we saw pre season.

Yeah agree. Even though we're told he's dropped this amount of weight/trained the house down/stopped eating burgers, he looks unfit physically - his shape and the way he's moving around.
 
Its pretty easy now,

He brains NSW Cup and works his way back to the first grade team
or he plods and doesnt get resigned next year
 
Sorry, where was it quoted he lost 10kg?
When his brother was talking about a weight loss challenge for who could lose the most, he said he won and lost about 5kg. When asked about BJ he said his lost about 3-4kg.
There is no way it looks like his lost 10kg
 
What if the trainers took a different approach and whipped Luccie every time BJ was at fault?
Kinda like if someone makes a mistake at training, the whole team has to do laps or push-ups.
Then it becomes more apparent he's letting his mates (or in this case his bro) down...

Simpkin is so much better than Mbye. Needs to be in the team
 
Attitude looked a lot better, performance was an improvement. He needs to have a few dominant games to get a look back in top grade. He’s top quality at his peak but let’s see that first,
