Siebold used to do the same thing with him at broncos. Off at 20, back on after 30. Off again around 50 and back on at 60

I can see it as a viable tactic when used sparingly and playing him as a mid, especially if it was a big game. Not sure its really something they should do on the regular? Seems strange to do it in a struggling team.

Yeah agree. He's on the big bucks, he either needs to sort his fitness out, or it's a coaching thing (Probably this).

Ryan Matterson.. completely forgot he existed. Hes putting up pretty big numbers off the bench each week

Take away the tries and his numbers aren't that impressive for his price.

Has a mean shoulder charge, ask that streaker

More sad cricket news. Feels like a very disproportionate number of youngish guys passing suddenly

Broncos just posted a pic of him with the tackling bag at broncos training. Forgot he used to do that

In his prime Webcke used to play multiple stints back in 1998-2000 but that was slightly different with unlimited interchange. A fresh Webcke playing 8 minute stints at 100% intensity would run through opposition packs. I think the idea with TPJ is for similar output but compensating for limited interchanges

If you can support it with a big minute hooker, lock and edges it can be very beneficial for the team

Would love to see Taumalolo and JPapalii used this way

Adam ritson used to do the same from memory play 5 minutes interchange come back 5 mins later and so on.

A mate of mine ran a general strength and fitness comp at a convention many years ago, guess who came out #1? Symonds. Against a whole range of other professional athletes.

Weather clearing up for Hynes, RIP

Sad news to read. RIP Symo. Gone too soon.

Oh man, it's like 2016 again except sports stars instead of entertainers. Only two years older than me. So sad.

BroJo ---> Elliott and no EDG cover with Aitken out so playing with 16.
Pappy ---> Turbo

Not a good round for filth. If Talakai could throw up another banner that would be appreciated.

Has fanhub given us an upgrade? The app seems surprisingly intuitive this morning, fading out my unplayed players and highlighting those played- even including my loops in my score. Hell, they have even included Koula at 19 just in case Hynes doesnt play. Has it been like this all season and I just don’t pay close enough attention?

Will kennedy was impressive with a -3 against Penrith last year

Oh yeah forgot about that, he gets the award too.

As far as I know, here are the current holders of the award

* Brent Naden (the man himself obviously)

* Esan Marsters (lowest score out of any of them with a -5)

* Will Kennedy

* Chris Sandow

* Xavier Coates

Luke Brooks is very close but not quite there, he has a 0 in 80 minutes and also a 1 in 80 minutes

When we did the 2006 Fantasy comp, I remember one of the Raiders game they had a forward who was subbed on, made 1 hitup, and was subbed off again.

Imagine people trying to predict forward rotation minutes if unlimited interchange was brought back

Next year should be interesting for fantasy with the bye every week

McInnes starting. Phew.

Woolford starting & Starling back to bench. Annoying.

Zac Woolford starting with Starling benched...

Gonna have to get McInnes next week then. Well in to all the lads who took the risk and got him this week, hope he puts up a nice score. Wish he was just named to start 13 this week damn it!
