Yep looks like both Will Smith's got benched this year.

Love him. Surprisingly intelligent for a front rower, was the other player who really surprised me on NRL360 along with Ennis,

That broncos bench.. oh dear

Yeah I hope he’s on regularly I’ll tune in more. Awesome listening to him talk about Tolman

The problem with Talakai is he's got too many strings to his bow i.e. he can play on the edge, he can play in the ctrs, hell the way he runs he could play prop so he has great utility value & guys like that usually start on the bench because he offers more than most players.

It's great for the Sharkies having all this competition for positions. So many forwards fighting for spots that they're spilling into the backline and keeping everyone on their toes. Not great for fantasy scores though, unless they get a bunch of injuries and someone like McInnes lands the bigger role.

It's only the Warriors

Since round 2 I've been running without wfb cover & Billy Smith being ruled out (even though he's not a wfb) has highlighted the need to have cover for all positions. So I'll be getting T. May because although just a ctr I'd imagine he'll get updated to ctr/wfb in the round 6 positional upgrades.

Hahahah exactly mate.

So you probs gonna go Fifi -> Cleary next round too?

Yeah bro locking it in. Cleary scored 44, but he looked much more likely to score 88 than Dfifi has in any game this year. Missed 4 kicks, lots of missed tackles and no real junk.

As we saw this week, he is too important to not be playing him on the field. They can put Tracey on the bench instead of Trindall. He covers lots of positions. If they need a forward, they just put him at CTR and Talakai fills that gap. Its far more versatile.

Something tells me Haas going big today...

Yeah I missed the game but yeah considering it's his first game back, few extra missed tackles and conversions missed still seems like he went well. No attacking stats either which will come too.

I'm thinking Sexton -> A cheapie to free up cash for Fifi straight to Cleary

Flegler starting. Will be watching him closely, had great form in the preseason, was offloading at will.

Probably the fact every other captain option so far has got 40s score, and Haas is going to be like remember me

Is it the Broncos bench?

Rudolf & Hamlin-Uele are beasts in fact the Sharks pack are beasts they are all absolutely brilliant & I'm not sure Graham will get out of reserve grade all year because none of them can be dropped.
Just a fun fact Hamlin-Uele played his junior footy at Glenora which is the club I played for & his father who I know still drinks down there. Also CHN who didn't play at Glenora but his uncle did (he is dead now RIP Billy Naera) & he coached me when I was younger.

Wtf is that Bronx bench

Smells like your Niukore trade last year. Prop playing centre who then goes back to bench.

Sexton ownership already a measly 3.9%, going to become even PODier come lockout. I am probably keeping him now despite two poor scores, think he has plenty of 60s games in him (despite not scoring one so far this year)
