Agree, would wait for Tevaga to be getting big minutes at lock before bringing him in.

Liu is scoring 30 points in 30 minutes at the moment, if getting 50+ minutes at lock, should be getting 45+. Plenty of other examples of the new fast game significantly improving output of players, SMat, Crichton etc.

Ppm extrapolation generally doesn't work for short minute impact players. Getting more minutes means a drop in intensity so lower ppm and will generally score similarly. Exceptions are already high minute players like Haas and Lolo where more minutes will generally always mean more points

I've traded in Robson this week. If Cotter stays on the bench in the final 17 should I just reverse the trade? Don't really wanna deal with having to watch his minutes every week and stressing about having a backup hooker on the bench. Thoughts?

Isaac Liu has been around for along time, and has never consistently scored well. Sure he might improve, but there are a lot of good forwards at the Roosters and he'd need a big jump on prior performance to be useful.
Angus Crichton has history of good scoring in the 2nd row, he's a far different proposition to Liu

Similarly I have no interest in SST. he's been around for ages now, and whilst he can get big scores, he has never consistently been a top level gun.

Will try to retain Carrigan instead. Need some luck with some players returning from injury getting cheaper initially and some going up in price before trading out. May take a week or 2 longer, but also save a trade.

A few pages back someone mentioned Bruce Wayne, and a reference to a Wombat... then I pick up something customer related in the workplace that has those same two names in it!
Moments like this I look over my shoulder and wonder, 'Is that you Matrix' ?

Will be very surprised if he stays there, Hampton will cover hooker if needed, and they will add a middle forward from reserves (currently only 1 on the bench).

haha probably true but I can only speak for my own experience at games.

Both Melbourne and Warriors crowds are very one eyed. Warriors crowds definitely funnier with things they yell out though.

Last season Sydney FC members got a free big mac the day after any home win - and if it wasn't free I wouldn't have got one.
Wouldn't pay for that rubbush

Quarter pounder is where it's at!

Every team names reserve hookers in the 21 every week.

Even if Cotter drops out this week, he'll be named in the 21 again next Tuesday. If its going to stress you out just avoid Robson because it will happen every week (and its likely there will be 1 or more games where he doesn't play 80 at some point - happens to every one)

I used to love a Whopper back in the day. They've skimped on ingredients so much over the years that its a bit rubbish now.

Only thing I ever really eat at McDonalds is their breakfast menu

Maybe Coles Special burger sauce is the big mac sauce

Oh yes indeed, by all means I haven't had a big mac in over ten years and vocally hate maccas, but its known that many love the big Mac sauce. I just made some home made cheese fries, and this sauce brought it home.
They have cheated, does Ronald know about this ?

BREAKING: Cowboys star, Valentine Holmes has boarded the plane to Sydney ahead of tonight’s clash with the Eels... Paul Green told media yesterday he would not fly if he wasn’t fit to play @7NewsBrisbane @7NewsTownsville https://t.co/OaOCPzhXFb

Thanks, is playing then, Green had said in an interview he wouldn't travel with the team unless playing.

Yep, just edited original post

Interested to hear peoples thoughts.

Grant
Twal Mofo
Crichton (C) Tevaga Fifita
Cleary Flanagan
SMat Crichton
Teddy Ponga Wiliame (loop)
Koro Yeo Robson Liu
Dearden HTF Niu Sironen

Gives me a great POD forward pack, strong halves, decent backs, great bench with some cover for each position.

Tbh I hate it. Don't have any of the uber guns in Haas, Taumalolo, Bateman, Smith, Cook, McInnes. The ball gets spread around too much for Crichton to be a captaincy option every week.

Have other captaincy options each week, depending on match ups, Cleary, Grant, Teddy, Ponga, Crichton. Don't need any of the expensive options to have a decent captain each week. At least one of them will be playing Titans / Warriors / Bulldogs every week.

Menu tastes better than the food?
