It would take a monumental reversal in form for him to handle NRL this week...
Does anyone know why on earth Madden was not named in the 21? We knew Mbye was in doubt, so this is expected. Madden has been in form, is fit, and played with Brooks pre season.
Walters ahead of him in the 21 made absolutely zero sense.
I hope I am wrong, but Walters inclusion takes us from a serious chance...to almost no chance. He was literally miles off the pace... in reserve grade.

Big difference in class between Mbye and Walters...and fitness. Billy was miles off the pace in reserve grade last week. Really, really bad. He was even shifted to hooker after blowing a couple of tries with shockingly bad forward passes.
His selection is a legit head scratcher...hoping I am wrong, obviously. But it would be an incredible turnaround in form. Also, apart from form, he was barely keeping up fitness wise in reggies.

Mate Mybe has been the most maligned player on this forum up until Maguire moved him to 5/8th. Maguire copped an absolute razzing for that and I don't know why he selected Walters ahead of who ever the punters think should be there but at this point I will back him ahead of what is thought is best on here. If it's a disaster then everyone no doubt will have the opportunity to scream about it.

Agreed re Moses...but the key difference is Moses was fit.
I am not sure if you saw Billy last weekend, but he was miles off the pace in reggies in terms of fitness and game speed. He has been out almost a year...and reggies has been too fast.
It will be an absolutely herculean effort if he can play 80 mins NRL.
It seems bizarre Madden was not the next man up.

Just crazy, this was a chance for Madden to play a full game,.
Brooks and others have voiced their high opinion earlier in the year. Walters heading back to Donkeys, what type of incentive is this for Madden.
@blake said in [Your Team Vs Slimers](/post/1386362) said:I haven't seen much of Madden apart from his first grade game but he looked like a massive defensive liability. He failed completely on his 3 attempts at a one-on-one tackle.

I think doueihi's time in 6 is done.

My guess is Madge likes doueihi that one spot wider and the instructions to BW are to just shift it quickly to give AD time. He is a weapon one on one.
