Ma'u never really occured to me , has a good average, doesnt seem to mind a injury/ hia though.

Manu Ma’u 658K – Season Average 49.5 and last 4 average of 56.5
Nathan Brown 605K – Season Average 41.5 and 47.6 since returning from injury
David Fifta 543K – Season Average 38.5 and 49.75 since starting.
Shane Wright 456K - Season Average 35.1 and 52.7 starting... seems to have it locked down also.

Fifita is great with the minutes, shame about the competition for minutes at broncos

KBrom is another one @ 584k. Averaging 49.2 over the season including a drop in scores recently hence his lower price.
Could be a good pick if he regains form as I would say he is currently underpriced now that you've got a full strength Storm team about to fire their way to the finals.

Shane Wright still probably the pick of that bunch though assuming he keeps his current role.

Wade Graham could be a decent cheap pick up at $500k. 50 in his one 80min game this season and if it's true that Morris wants to favour him ahead of Nikora then he'll score well if he stays injury free.

I honestly wonder if there is any truth behind it, because I can't recall but I vaguely remember Clifford has been slotting his shots

EDIT: There are a number of photos from the Captains run with multiple players taking turns kicking goals.

South Sydney winger Dane Gagai missed training on Thursday due to a stomach bug, but coach Wayne Bennett remains hopeful he'll be fit to face the Dragons on Friday night.

If Gagai is unavailable, Corey Allan will be the new winger after training in that position on Thursday.
In other Rabbitohs news, Bennett said he expects Sam Burgess to return from an infection in Round 20.

A decision on whether Kodi Nikorima plays for the Warriors against the Eels on Saturday won't be made until after the club's final training session on Friday.

As well as saying a decision on Nikorima's ankle ligament strain won't be made until the eve of the match, Warriors coach Stephen Kearney said winger David Fusitu'a was still a couple of weeks away from returning from a hamstring complaint.

Karl Lawton (shoulder) is likely to return next week.

Raiders fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad is a confirmed starter for Sunday's match against Penrith at Panthers Stadium.

Knights coach Nathan Brown confirmed there would be no changes to the team he named on Tuesday for their game against Wests Tigers at Mark Hughes Foundation Stadium on Friday night.

Came across as a gee up to me, could still be true

is Nathan Brown a trade to klemmer? 4 forward bench isnt looking good

Feldt kicks, maybe something preventing him.

Well there are photos of a fair few players taking goal kicks from the side line. Drinkwater was the only one pictured taking goal kicks from around the field

Not sure why it would change though.. Clifford has been slotting them pretty well

Cowboys left edge is diabolical  , Green possibly drops a second  rower out there.

He’s not good at it? I agree it sounds like Drinkwater kicking. For a fleeting second I was pretty keen on Lolo for captain tho.

P.s. This is posted from the lunch room, not the bathroom

I think a bunch of us tried to talk someone out of Ma’u and into Brown last week, and we were possibly all wrong. Shane Wright looks the goods now, I figured Hess would eat into his minutes but doesn’t appear to be happening.

I saw someone on twitter yesterday say that Hess will start at left centre. No idea if that is true..

If SJ & Nikora don't exploit Hess at CTR I'd be disappointed (though Javid Bowen isn't much better if he does play)
