Let's just say I wouldn't want to be Ryan Papenhuyzen today

I almost traded him to Teddy, if you broke him I'll be annoyed

When was he last at his peak though... 2017?

September 26, 2014.

Yep. Broncos lacking experience and leadership. Good pick up. Can't see him playing only 20mins off the bench.

Could be right. I’d just find it surprising that a player regularly benched for the Warriors last season, who couldn’t find a club until the Dragons bought him in even though he wasn’t needed, is suddenly a 60 minute player again.

Andrew McCullough < Jake Turpin < Issac Luke, all in two weeks. Good job Broncos

Super rugby game today has a real crowd which is sold out. Close to 45,000 attending the blues game today.

I'm not saying 60mins, I'm just saying he won't just be a 20min stint. 60mins would definitely be a stretch but its not completely out of the conversation I guess.

Broncos did the same thing with Segeyaro last year. Brought him in midway through the year when no one else wanted him. Played him 30-40mins off the bench and he was great for them most of the time.

I'm going pretty poorly this year mate.

Aw, all good, still plenty of time mate.

A big FU to Hess too. Lazy prick last night.

I think we are arguing about the same role. When I said 20 I should’ve said bench. But if he plays 40, also possible him and Paix/Turps overlap for a period

Didnt he go to centre for half the game when Holmes went off?

I didnt look at him closely tbh

3 of my 4 options as a trade in for Mann have scored above break even with 2 getting a try. Queue a Murray double for 90 odd today

Well not good news as a Paix owner. I would expect Issac to start and Paix to only get around 25-30mins, bugger! I just bought Paix in this week too.

Pretty sure the Dragons only took on Luke as a gap-fill until McInnes was good. And he said that he wants more game time so I guess anything above 0-20 mins is a good reason to move teams again. He might not be as sharp as seasons past but they need that cool head at hooker. Unless you're Harry Grant you can't go wrong with experience.

You Broncos fellas might see it through a different lens but I see it as they have nothing to lose and everything to gain

Luke wont walk into the starting spot within the first week of arriving.

Not ideal but should get another week or two

Think I’ll just punt on Averillo as my 2nd trade this week,yes I could save the trade or bring in Fogarty instead for potential money making but next week I’m bringing in a gun plus possibly a mid ranger if one presents itself so I can’t do that if I waste a trade on a CTR next week. That 50k saved from Averillo over Fogarty will come in handy too. Does this make sense?

I’ve Magoulias, Wiliame, Capewell, S. Crichton, Paix and Luai all in my 21.

Bugger!

I hope you’re right as even another two high 20’s point games out of Paix would be nice.

What happened to Crichton? Assume you mean Panthers player

Yeah I thought Dunn did but Hess did seem a bit wide now you mention it.
