Yeah I am. Only player at that price that is appealing to me. Should get like 60+ mins for a couple of weeks

I am happy to ride LAM. I don't think the HIA's affected his minutes too much. You can't really gauge anything off HIA's. I still think LAM goes for at least 35-40 minutes and with his PPM that could see a 35-40+ average which still nets him decent coin.

Anyone know why he wasn’t starting RD1?

Hard to say really. He came back on for the final 6 mins when Egan and Sironen were out.

Does BMM continue to be used as a bench edge? Came on for 30 mins then off again.

Hard to tell what their rotations are without injuries tbh

That was a good post, however not to be a dick but Rabbit did start with Host.   Saying that, I could be the bigger fool as this was the reason I didn't pick Host.  

Koala seems like the player that could excel to the next level.  He's always played on the edge up until Wayne put him in the middle and I honestly feel even though Wayne loves fucking with the minutes, I can see him working towards keeping that edge role long term and playing big minutes.  I'm not entirely sure why Wayne started Host last week though.  Perhaps he gaves him his opportunity and wanted Koala in the middle for Melbourne but I do find it strange that Koala was touted to start on the edge yet Host got the gig.

On the edge in the past, Souths haven't really had a damaging player and Koala could be just what we need.  I mean, Lowe was never really a good signing and was never a fantasy gun, even at the Cowboys.  I loved him back then, but he was solid without being gun level.  Siro was finding his feet and had a good crack with a couple of decent scores, but I think with the middles we do have now, a more damaging player on the edge could strengthen Souths points of attack.  Yes, they will use him as a decoy and go to Latrell, but they still need options, and I think Koala can bring them that and he will slowly become more involved in Souths attack then what Host was last week.

Asking for a friend.

robelgordo wrote:I think for people saying stuff like “he got x minutes but there was a HIA” you have to consider that HIAs are basically a part of every game now. The timing of when it happens does alter minutes/rotations game to game but I think it’s reasonable to expect that the main bench forwards might get a few more minutes than “planned” every week.

TL;DR: discounting 10-15 minutes extra due to HIA is over simplistic as theres likely going to be 10-15 extra most weeks

I’ll pay that I was an idiot starting with Host!

He has not always played edge though Koala he did mainly play lock in his games in Canterbury Cup.

I can see why you’re picking him and I think he keeps the role but if Arrow keeps killing it Murray may be moved to edge. That could still happen in games even with Arrow off the bench as we need Arrow and Murray  playing big minutes.

Su’a will be playing close to 80mins soon enough.

With Benji on the bench also and Knight back very soon I just think there is too much uncertainty re Koloa’s mins. Like one week he could get 45mins then the next week 65mins we just don’t know.

That probably didn't come out right mate, wasn't implying you're an idiot or anyone starting with him.  I took Host out last minute so you can't begrudge anyone starting with him.  The temptation obviously was strong and now I have the same temptations with Koala, maybe for the same result.

I fully accept and agree with everything mate, but just one of those players I want to back.  If it doesn't work, then so be it.
