Yep and I was bricking it as I decided to bring him in at 7.52pm last night so glad he recovered

Yeah, it's still dry Newcastle way

Thought Kashyyyk was much further from my neck of the woods. Will have to organise a Newcastle meet up at some point. I'm pretty sure Clack Bocks is from that way aswell

Biggest toss up of the round for mine. I've gone Sharks because of the way Dragons played against the Dogs last week, but could easily go the other way

Ricky Stuart specifically said that Starling is their number 2 hooker and has been all season. So make of it way you will.
I'm unlikely to buy Starling, but won't be surprised if he ends up averaging 50+ minutes through the rest of the year. Didn't look out of place in first grade, and short of the raiders acquiring a more experienced hooker before the deadline, his JS probably isn't as bad as some think.
In a funny way CHN may make his JS better as they may not have budget to grab another HOK.

Havilli isn't that much (if any) better than Starling that you need to find minutes for him. Raiders are playing 2 hookers anyway, and I think that Havili playing as a running forward for part of the game is that he's better than the alternative, not that he's demanding the minutes through ability. To me Starling looked like the better 9 last week. I reckon he only wasn't being played on the bench when Hodgson was in the team because he didn't have the same utility value of Havili, and Hodgson was always going to play the majority of the game.

I just changed my tip to the Dragons. No Dugan, Moylan, Fifita, Nikora or Sorensen for the Sharks.

I’m gonna play Sironen over Hudson and you now watch Hudson score a try tonight!

Indeed, need to do it before the sky falls in again too and we’re stuck at home with our families all the time. *shudder*

I’m playing both of them mate I think so I hope they both run over each other for a try each(they are marking each other right?

Yes they are.

Righteo catch you lads late tonight off to work now.

Cmon you Bunnies tonight surprise me! Holding the ball would be a start and playing for more than 15mins.

I have Captain Teddy, Aubbs, Hunt, Murray and Sironen playing today.

I reckon Souths improve massively on last week






They'll actually pack the scrum where they're supposed to this week

Matty Johns family podcast did a best and worst of Newcastle nightlife this week. To me, it seems like a great round of pub golf

I've been convinced. Switching Wiliame -> Starling to Wiliame -> Sironen. Gives me more flexibility if/when I trade Young out next week. Might still get Starling next week unless a better cashout shows up.

Newcastle looking like rain tomorrow arvo during the Knights game. Ponga captain might not go to plan. Will drop a few ranks today with a lot of players choosing to captain Teddy, etc.

Sironen > Starling seems like a no brainer to me. I got Siro last week and not keen on doubling up at all.

I’m trying to decide whether to double gun or gun-cow (cow is probably Aubs because I like getting fooled over and over) of just gun and save one.

If you have the trades banked most will be copping a points hit this week so it's a good time to set your team up for future weeks. For what it's worth I have 840k banked ready to use over the next few weeks

First time owning Tevaga today, hope he can make up for ruining me week in week out last year

60 3rd man in tackles thanks Jazz

Lake mac reminds me of Kashyyk, and the locals around here seem to be kind to Wookiees

6/380, weekend's probably going to hinge on captain Teddy.

Similar score here, no dramas yet, but it's still early in the round.
