nah I think he's enjoying it too much over there. Having far more success in England then he'd probably get in the NRL
This come as no surprise. He has a history with the club - he cut his teeth there in the late '90s and 2000, and was an obvious choice, especially after his success in the ESL. I'd love to see the fireworks with Stacey Jones defeating a Daniel Anderson-coached Eels side in Round 1, 2009, but I really can't see Jones being the first choice halfback just yet.
Nah baby steps for him. He's got a long way to go yet. At best if things go to plan, he could be back around Round 8 to 10.
Yeah, that's what I'd be looking at, too. Bring him in gently once our season start has settled and the team has found its rhythm. Start him on the bench and give him 30 minutes and see how he goes.
We play the Eels again in Round 23, so he could well be in the frame, (or ruled out as unsuitable), by then.
If Stacey Jones does make a successful comeback who would you play alongside him? I believe the five eight would have to be someone who's not shy in takeing the line on more, because I dont see Stacey Jones doing it much, his last few seasons at the club he took the line on less and less. His speed and acceleration off the mark went too.
If Daniel Anderson can get the best out of Jarrod Hayne, Krisnan Inu, and Felti Mateo, look out. Ashame they dont have a decent half combination going there.
They did I think Smith was going well bar it just didn't work out for him. Nice to see Ando back in the NRL though. Should be good!
It's hard for me to say, because I haven't seen much/any of Moon, Foran, John, and Heremaia in the halves. Not Rovelli, because taking on the line is precisely what he doesn't do. Witt is similar, but a better choice than Rovelli. Depending on form, I'd probably go with Fien at standoff for now, with McKinnon at 1 and Hohaia at 14 to cover hooker or any back position if there's an injury.
It would be hard not to select Nathan Fien in the team after his good form in the wc, but he has had the best part of 4 seasons at the warriors to establish himself as a halfback/five eight. Change is well over due.
