I have? Have I not?

My mate told me 3 weeks ago Su’a was injured but I thought he was pulling my leg. I messaged him again tonight and he said Su’a could miss the first 2 rounds.

I’m not worried Host takes Kaeon’s spot as he won’t.

Kaeon will start in the second row, should see 60ish mins.

Lads if this talk about Edrick being injured is true do we reckon if Ponga is back round 3 or 4 that Hoy gets a wing spot?.... Any Knights fans have a view on this? If Edrick is out 2 months that is....

Checking tomorrow to make sure I haven't missed people. But currently have you as "have not".  Don't be too concerned because half the other mods haven't either. But you are definitely getting pressure from Chewie, Teeth, Rabbits21, Booze, MTVB, Trajan. B/L. White Lightning, Revs, MS. Code, Easy Tiger. mrbrownsone, Pascoe, Falcom, OSM, Faringdon, Jele, Rectangle and pretty sure some others I have missed. You could be waiting awhile.

Hola off the interchange I hope it’s a bluff!

Isnt this how you became mod? By pretty much pestering SI and I into submission.

Let's talk about McCullough.

While I love McCullough he really needs to finally reach that gun role, he has always been on the cusp but a tier down on guys like Smith/Farah/Cook. Last year he had a solid stretch but his only games over 70 included tries. Every year McCullough seems to string a few decent games together even in 2014 he had scores of 70 here and there. His consistency is what hurt him, and he showed last year he can score 45 points in the faster game in 80 minutes. While I have him and I am a fan of the potential, realistically priced at 54 points means anything short of a out and out gun performance means McCullough will stay priced about the same and average the same with a burst here and there of excellence and most likely is a borderline end of year keeper in a position with many guns and lots of value.

Bloke also bought me a beer once.

I know this will come as a shock to some with me being a straight up and down black and white type rules follower, but I'm not averse to a bribe if it involves alcohol and/or Samboy's.

Whats the go woth Koloa, is he going to be starting? Because being a bench guy I dont see the value, the same for Leniu as well. Otherwise not super keen on starting a winger in Simonsson but otherwise your team looks balanced nicely.

I am thinking about him but don’t think I can go past Cook.

Koloa will be starting left second row. Murray and Arrow to play middle.

Leniu is a ppm beast and could score 33-35 in 35mins. That’s enough to be worthwhile.

I had to go cheap with my third WFB to get Teddy in pretty much. I think lots will do the same.

Leniu getting even 30 minutes off the bench is far from certain when they have 3 huge minute middles in Yeo, JFH and Eisenhuth. The have gained more than they have lost in the off-season for competition for minutes. Tamou averaged only 42 minutes last season.

Hi everybody, it's Stew here!

Stew would like to raise everyone's attention *fullstop*

Also he would like to make mention that he is as we speak working on an imminent release *fullstop*

After imagining the above 2 actions, please be advised that Stew has published a semi semi-autobiographical biography based loosely on his experiences whilst touring on the Combined Professional Triumvirate of Bush Poets, Topiary Enthusiasts and Nithing Pole Reclaimers World Circuit.  It's also known as the catchy CPTBPTENPRWC Circuit circuit tag for short.  The 'also known as' bit, is also known as the even more catchy acronym-'aka' (Trademark Stew on behalf of the CPTBPTENPRWC when used in conjunction with the tag CPTBPTENPRWC; aka [also known as] the Combined Professional Triumvirate of Bush Poets, Topiary Enthusiasts and Nithing Pole Reclaimers World Circuit).  

If you are interested in a copy please post either a Haiku, a photo of your freshly cut topiary, or evidence of a nithing pole that you have recently reclaimed*



*nithing pole must have been reclaimed within the last 30 days to be eligible

Hoy has never started on the wing, seems to be a specialist spine player. Would expect a guy like Toa to get the wing ahead of him, as he did last season.

Hard to tell if it has any relevance or just meaningless (eg Randall is in the 14 but hes on a development contract)

Kevy was planning to start macca at 9 and turpin on the bench so i would be a bit surprisrd if turpin becomes an 80 min hooker immediately. That said, ive been told the club is not so keen on Paix anymore.

Just checked and Knights have only got 29 of their top 30. He is looking like a prime candidate to be upgraded.

This is true, if the basis is purely due to you thinking he should be upgraded
