PLAYER Ezra Mam

[Mick_Hancock]

Too early for this discussion, it’s Round 1 I know… buuuuuttttt….
If everyone keeps performing the same or better, we get Mozer back on the bench instead of Daddy’s special little boy, where does Ezra fit in?

Hunt to 9 won’t work because Cory has been tearing it up for 9 weeks. Hunt has been a revelation at 6.
We see Mozer as the future and have him at 14 or 9…

Where does Ezra fit???

Mozer is carrying an injury, so I would think Ezra has the jump on him, even for that reason alone.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

You could be right @McHunt.
A lot of water to pass before Madge has to decide

 

[Battler]

At the moment I’d have him on the bench and coming on for either a forward or Paix (with Hunt moving to 9). Ideally Paix can handle 80 and we have all of Hunt, Walsh, Arey, Mam, Paix on the field at once.

Well, I’m sure our forwards won’t struggle too hard if we rob them of Piakru’s 1 minute stints off the bench.

Maybe we can instead give Ezra the 17 and let him roam off the bench. We had Paix, Billy, Hunt, Reyno all on at once at the end of the game so just make Ezra do whatever it was Billy was doing at that stage.

Mozer could be out for the season potentially. No one really knows for sure yet and it's very up in the air.

Even if he is available late in the season, he's still a borderline rookie and will be heavily underdone. Not exactly ideal for a finals campaign.

Ezra will 100% be slotted in somewhere. Injuries are inevitable sadly.

 

[Manofoneway]

Paix seems to not run the ball very much and is using his deception and intelligence to score the broncs opportunities. I can't see Mam breaking into the squad unless its for hunt during origin. He will be a very well paid Qcup player thats for sure.

This is what I meant by pessimism. Ezra is a brilliant player. He was Dally M 5/8th in 2023 and almost the Churchill medalist. Ideally we can squeeze both Hunt and Mam into the team.

I think a lot of people are taking last years form and basing their opinions on a lot of the players.

Whatever it was that happened made a lot of our players fall of a cliff.

Cobbos form the other night shows how easy it is to turn round.

 

[heartly87]

Unless hooker is an absolute disaster, I just can’t see a good coach changing their halves mid season if they’re clicking - no matter who’s waiting in the wings.

Maybe Piakura is the one who drops off for Mam if he remains on the pine for 70.

Yep. Selwyn, though, is still a week to week proposition.

Selwyn looks a lot fitter but he’s also been moved back wing where he is far better suited at this stage

 

[Mustafur]

For me Mam is a 17 coming in depending if Mozer is the 14.

Roaming lock is the role for him, but lets see more of our double 7 halves combo first yet.
