Yep likewise I'm tumbling from just outside the top 10 with this weeks score. Tried a POD of Tauk instead of Mofo and now could hurt me.

Tauk could have score twice yesterday

Really I didn't see the game. Damm shame.

Seen the guy that was leading coming into this round? He has had 1 score under 57 (HTF 37) so far. Going huuuge.

You got Best and/or Crichton? I do not and my centres were actually decent this week, a couple of 40s. So I’m bracing myself for a 70 and 55 from them as well

No mate, have neither of those. My centres were decent too.

Not sure why Havili needs to play more mins at hooker when CHN and Bateman come into the team? Canberra had an 80 min hooker, where did Havilis mins come from then?

Let's not forget Starling has played 6 games of first grade, he's not going to become their number 1 hooker on the back of 2 good games, he couldn't crack the team until Hodgson went down. With CHN and Bateman back, Havili won't be playing much lock, if any at all, so should share the hooking duties with Starling. What has been helping Starling lately is Havili coming back onto the field and playing lock and not relieving Starling, with CHN and Bateman back that could change. Neither of these two are close to 80 minute hookers.

Hodgson has been an 80min player for a few seasons, and top 3 or 4 hookers in the comp. You can hardly argue that Starling isn't good enough to play big minutes because he hasn't taken minutes of Hodgo in the past. You're probably right Starling isn't an 80min player, Havilli 100% isn't.

Havilli likely wouldn't be in the top 17 with a full strength team, but will probably be carried on the bench to spell Starling (or start and do 20mins like O'donnel is now).

With CHN and Bateman coming in, i reckon sutton and o'donnell get dropped, Ricky stops playing a back on the bench using either Whitehead or CHN as cover if a back goes down. Starling minutes stay about 50-60mins, Havilli plays 20 odd at the start of the game and spells starling at the end if he needs it.

Hey lads didn't get to watch the Dragons or Raiders game last night. I heard Clune went off or something so Hunt shifted to 7? Does anyone know the reason why Clune went off? Also Hudson Young finally gave me a decent score so will finally make some coin before I get rid of him. How did Bayley Sironen go? Looking like a decent 17th man to me

Clune failed his HIA, will probably miss next week's game because of the short turnaround.

Sironen looked good, had to move to centre as part of a backline reshuffle when Alex Johnston failed his HIA, got a chancy try assist as a result. Should be good provided he gets big minutes in the back row.

Alright sweet. Thanks mate, appreciate it

Having a good round to follow up last weeks 1101.
14/829, Captain Cleary, Ponga and Mann still to play.

Jeez picking those last bench spots is an art form.

So far I picked McIntyre (31), Kerr (36) and Siro (40) in my 17 and left Starling (45) and Talau (43) in the EMG. Not much in it, but irritating to get all choices wrong. I also have Averillo in my EMG today. I expect him to score 41, just to spite me.

So bummed Kerr can't get a few more minutes in that team as he's scoring 1 PPM for the year, and in recent weeks has been scoring over 1 PPM. Just needs those extra minutes and he'd almost be a keeper FRF. Almost...

Good weekend so far with 827/13(c) and Yeo, Cleary, Ponga and Pearce to go. A bit nervous about how the weather's going to affect these scores except maybe Yeo's.

Shannon Boyd and Titans parting way immediately. Cartwright also leaving the club.

Jeez its nothing but good moves for the Titans since I became their #1 fan

769/12 (C) .. E.Clark, MoFo, Cleary, Crichton and Luai to play. With alittle luck I could make the 1000club again

You should use Reddit (r/nrl), always up to date news on there, lots of positive Titans news at the moment

with shannon boyd and cartwright leaving the club that frees up 1.2 million for our spine
