Still a bit strange that we don’t think Nelson is ready yet. I mean getting more minuets under him is fine but he would still be valuable playing 20 minutes off the bench for us right now.
All I know is that if I’m one of the young Bulldogs forwards off the bench with little to no NRL experience I’d rather be tackling Welch and Wishart than trying to contain NAS.
I don’t think we need him to win comfortably, would have been a nice game for him to come back into, home crowd vs a team that’s given us trouble the last few starts, would have loved him to have been unleashed but Bellamy is obviously playing the long game, the fitter he gets in reserves the better he will be when he is eventually named.

Agreed
Given Bellamy's propensity for giving some guys only 10 - 20 minutes from the bench anyone, including NAS could be eased back in. On at the 30 minute mark off at 50 with the break in the middle.
Maybe he is viewed as too high a risk for this strategy
