Warriors fly in four more players:

That's 3 rounds at least.  You wouldn't think Curran will start round 4 when they wouldn't have trained yet after the 14 day isolation.  I doubt Curran comes straight back in since he's a rookie also.  More worried about Tevaga at lock and Blair moving to the edge.

if isolation ends in two weeks from todaythen they'd be able to do Thursday team session/friday captain run/whatever NZ are doing (rnd 4 game for warriors is a saturday)

not much different to being rushed back from injury?

but i agree, i doubt he would go straight into the starting spot. but if they are 0-3 the coach may make changes.

35 in 45 minutes, came on for SST and played the game out.
Any potential there?

Probably played more minutes because Iku went off and Aubbs went to Centre than Butcher to second row I think.  Probably wasn't meant to play that long.

All aboard the Hess Express.

I'll even throw something else down;

If he gets 55-60 points, I'll change my team name to Hess Express.

Just make sure to tell NW if your change your team name!

Depends if they keep losing, but hopefully he keeps putting in and keeps the spot.

Erin Moleman wrote:Early mail: Josh Dugan is reportedly racing to return from a knee injury and may yet come into the starting side. That would most likely be at fullback, although he could go to the centres allowing Josh Morris to play the fullback role. Morris reportedly was left out of contact work earlier in the week due to back soreness.

Kennedy would be unlucky to miss out

Just horrible lazy reporting from people not close to or asking the club.

Kennedy and Katoa have looked by far and away their best backs all pre season. No chance in hell either would be moved or dropped to accommodate Josh Morris of all people one week away from out the door

Last week got 80 minutes against Fifita with 7 missed tackles. In his career, he only has 1 other game with more than 4 missed tackles.

This week, he is opposite Stimson and Cowboys will be looking for a big win.

I expect 50-60 is on the cards.

I think Dugan the main concern.  If Dugan plays FB and Xerri comes back next week, Kennedy may find himself out.

Ok so zero missed tackles (which is amusing as it is Hess - 4 is prob closer to his average in backrow than peak), takes him up to what 42 fantasy pts last week?

So you are projecting a pretty big attacking performance at 60. Could happen, but it would be quite the turnaround in performance.

Minutes aside He looked rubbish and your summary has him turning awesome edge performance
