Rd 2 - 18 and 19th men

So the team looks like:

Brailey
Tino Watson Leniu
Fifita Riki
Cleary Lam
Bird Roberts
Teddy Papy Laurie

Turpin Liddle Davey Crichton
Hoy Utoikamanu Averillo Niu

With Crichton at 17, we can loop two of our EMG. Vote for two of Hoy, Utoikamanu, Averillo and Niu. The top two will be 18th and 19th men.

Voted Hoy and Niu.

I think Hoy is almost a given but I don't understand why Niu isn't getting more of a look.

One score of 28 at centre against the Eels who just beat the Storm.
Only one really bad score when he was at fullback.
Likes a tackle bust.

Averillo just wasn't involved last week. 20 tackles and basically nothing else.
Hard to want him in the 17 again.

Utoi just seems unlikely to get the output you'd want from his limited minutes.

I would definitely put Hoy first (I did!) and Utoi last, surprised by the poll results there.

I kinda defaulted to not playing more CTRs than required. Hoy first and Uto second for me.

I voted Averillo over JRob at CTR, just because Avo at 5/8 gives him a decent chance to jag some bullshit attacking play, but JRob winning out is fine by me.

Niu a legit CTR, so last for me.

So Hoy 18th man, Utoikamanu 19th. What's the over/under for the loop? 30? 35?

I usually go 30

With Hoy currently on 33 (and 15 minutes left) I'd be comfortable taking that over Stefano

44 from Hoy. 19th man irrelevant in the end!
