I'm screwed paying top dollar for Clearly last week anyway.  Would mean Paseka and Siro in the 17.  Would give me;

McInnes
Haas Mofo
Carrigan Tolo Lucy
Cleary DCE
Lomax Herbie
Pappy Teddy Ponga

Hunt Nofo Paseka Siro

Talau Hammer Randall Hatherington

I don't mind it with 5 trades left.  As I said, could go Aubbs instead of Paseka.

No upside to playing full strength (if we win Bellamy and the media will play it off as expected because of Smith and Munster out), but could put a serious dent in premiership contention (imagine losing to a Storm team without Smith and Munster then trying to convince the boys you are premiership favourites)

My team list guesses

Sailor half, Hunt 9, McInnes 13. Wiliame into the 21
Roosters get a few troops back but we see Tauk and Teddy/Keary get a rest. Flanagan back in but named at 18
Tommy Turbo back for Manly
Big changes for Tigers
Edwards back for Panthers
Havili named at 9
Cowboys name Drinkwater at 1, Asi at 6, Morgan at 7. Granville starts over Robson
Fermor named on extended bench again for Titans
Magoulias into the 21 again

Granville played decent. Seems like the reason to me.

Also a chance to rest a young player who has played 80 most weeks, in a game that was lost already.

Wasn't plan to keep Granville out there that long and wanted to bring Robson on 15 after HT but Granville was doing too good to take off

Granville doesn't look he'll lose his spot in short term so think he's definite sell

Get him in at your own peril

I rather bring in Nikorima and hope he scores another 60

The thing is you need to turn Young into someone you can play until they can either be upgraded to someone more reliable or you get a bit of good luck/bad luck and have to swap out a keeper for someone cheaper (allowing you to upgrade him)

I have Aubs and while I am happy to play him at CTR for the moment, I know that there will come a time he has to revert to emg cover so whoever comes in for Young for me has to be playable (unless i just rotate him and Sironen for ever )

Paseka may be a better bet than the widow as Aubs can have some shockers off the bench

That's a good signing for us

Hannay said in a presser a while back that Cotter was nearly best on ground and he had to be in the team again. Then he was dropped a week later..
