    Personally I don't see a need to punt Robson yet, I'd hold for this week and just see what happens.

    Granville coming in seems more a result of Clifford being dropped and Drinkwater/Asi still unavailable.

    Every chance that Hampton is be back on the bench next week as a 'utility' and Granville drops out again.

    Drinkwater is back next week and he probably comes straight into the 6 jersey.

    Hannay spoke a couple of weeks ago about preferring a utility on the bench to cover multiple roles.

    So are you saying trade out Niu instead of HTF and not worry about the early lock out? Gives me 6k ITB but I do like getting rid of red dots.

    If you can do Niu or Randall to Moses, then I'd do that instead, absolutely.

    HTF is at least fit and playing. Niu is no use. A chance Randall comes back in if there is injury.

    Want to see how HTF reacts to Morgo in the spine as well. Morgo has a bit more of an organisational type play and HTF hanging around the ruck might pay off.

    Both games looking to be pretty wet tonight. Should be good news for your Taupau's, Tevaga's, Haas's, Carrigan's.

    133/2 and have Haas, Carrigan, DCE, Herbie and Sironen tonight.

    We should see if Randall stays in the 19 by 5:30 tonight yeah?

    When looking at 2020 stats I ignore the first 2 games as I think stats affected by rule change. If remove non 80min games after Munster has 61pt avg. Is that unreasonable?

    I'm banking on a 55 average with upside to put up a monster and boost it for the end of the year. 61 isn't unreasonable but I tend to be conservative with projections

    I don't think the stats are going to tell you anything that should sway your decision with guys like Munster.

    Over the course of 8 games he either has a monster score or two, or he doesn't.

    A quiet game for him is 35-40, its unlikely he goes below that.

    I thought I’d be spending most of this afternoon trying to decide between Munster/Moses.

    Forgot that Norman locked out last night so Munster it is.... Welcome.. again

    Best ---> Staggs

    Excellent idea imo. Think people have recency bias with Staggs. RTS is my next pickup, he's way undervalued assuming he finds some form in a team which can be more consistent.

    I take round 1 and 2 with a grain of salt as well.

    But if you ignore round 1 and 2, plus the 2 injury games, there are only 6 games to draw an average from. He's gone over 50 every time from that sample size, but you have to be prepared for a sub 50 here and there

    My main aim with Munster is that he averages higher than Moses

    But I think he has easy potential for 60+ whilst Cam Smith is out, and if he can average mid 50s or higher for the run home I'll be happy.

    Its a cold cold Friday morning when u brought Teddy into the team just this week after locking in that id just skip him this year.
    Also bought in LThompson as coverage and 17th/18th man, if he pulls out a 60 I might feel a lil better.

    Someone on here posted the other day that Angus due back next week I assume based on the often unreliable NRL casualty ward.
    I checked the Chookpen thread again about Angus 4 more weeks and the poster said he ran into Angus in a knee brace so alleging from the horse's mouth

    Done deal. The Warriors have agreed to sign former Knights coach Nathan Brown to a 3-year deal starting in 2021 with former Origin coach Phil Gould on board as director.

    Damn. 3 years. That’s a long time for long-suffering fans to keep suffering.
