I agree, I think if Herbie can get the job done at the back he’d be an edwards (light) which is fine by me, not to mention Herbie is proper fast and feels slightly wasted at centre.

Haas ran around him. He can never be elite.

Okunbor ran over Smith...twice. I guess Cameron Smith was never elite?

Was Smith a fullback?

Are hookers supposed to drop off tackles?

Interesting point to ponder! I would counter with the reality that Smith never really tackled anyone 1-1 in his entire career and always waited for his teammates to complete it.

But that isn't really the point under consideration. You are saying because that player ran around that other player that one time, he can never be elite. It is a bit hyperbolic.

Bull Shit !
Did you watch the game on Saturday ? He rucked the ball a half dozen times I saw .
Previous 3 games no rucks . So , definite improvement in involvement . Impact on the game on Saturday ? About the same .

Tesi broke out of a lot of tackles on the weekend .
I saw that as a positive . If he steps out of tackles and can make something out of it we score points . Be patient ...

Well this is the mic drop argument here, I hear ya.
Denan Kemp and Sandor Earl made some good points/theory about Staggs form on the bloke in a bar podcast.
They were saying how Staggs looks bigger muscle wise and this could be a factor in his form. That extra maybe 3kg of muscle can play a major part you gas out quicker etc. Denan said he played at 85kg and if he gained muscle and went up to 88kg he was a completely different player.
Sandor also goes on about pretty much the exact things Kevvie needs to do with Cobbo when dropping him back to cup which would really work for him without killing his confidence.

Damn here i was thinking he was looking smaller than last season.
I could swear he looks leaner, and after injury, they usually are, but those blokes would know footy better then me.

Dylan Edwards wouldn't look great in our team, it works for Penrith because they've got Cleary, Luai and Yeo. 3 genuine ball playing options, he doesn't need to be flashy or any of that, he can play the traditional fullback role (safely return the ball, support play, all of the basics).
For us, we'd need someone who can ball play because we're not getting it from anywhere else.
He'd turn into another scapegoat if we were to pay him big because he is definitely not going to give us anything in attack, which apparently, is what players are judged on in here.

Players under about 25 are Gen Z, not millennials.
