Nah only joking bro. Macca did fill in at lock during the bye period I think.

While we're talking hookers I reckon Hodgson will be the big mover this year. His attacking stats are very impressive (1st I think) & with the Raiders dominating the nrl this year he's going to rip it up.

Agree. One of the Cowboys forum members summed it up best after round 19 last year:


"I want to throw my ipad at the wall when Kosty comes on because I know that I am about to become as frustrated as a diabetic at Willy Wonkas factory.

I like him as a backrow replacement, he toils hard and has never shirked work and always gives 100%.

But

He isn't a hookers asshole.

Granville is like having a Ferrari in the garage. When he comes off it's like being given a Toyta Yaris as a relacement while the Ferrari is at the mechanics. Sure the Yaris will get you from A to B well enough but **** me, you look like $hit driving it and you will never pick up any decent chicks either..........."

Bren wrote:
Henry is coming back from injury right? Has he played any trials? Either way I don't see him getting much game time at all even if he does make the bench as Thompson, Hoffman and Mannering can all play 80 mins.

mulvy wrote:

but there was talk Mannering might not play 80 now, could this push his minutes back to 80?

The other option is to just play one guy 50-60 minutes, then sub him off and don't sub him back on again.

Depends on the relative quality of your 2 hookers (or other positions, you could do the same for props, back rowers too), and whether you want your start on for the end of the game or not. But I could see Manly for example playing Koro from the start, and then putting Parcell in for the last 20 minutes to run at the tired defence.
