Don't hate it. Any reason Meany doesn't push him out though, assume he goes back to the wing when Pap is back?

Ahh yeah bang on

yeah that south African boxer was throwing punches all they way to the end

Storm have signed Young Tonumaipea for the rest of 2022

That may or may not tell you how good Warbrick is going

Love you too Snatch. Your hate just increases the fervour.


Going to be a huge game 2!

Which would also mean either making that decision early or not putting the C or VC on Hynes

No Cleary and Hastings would mean Sexton and Ilias this week

I’ve been here before

Collins has 3 good games a year, none of them in tri colours

Cleary, Nanai, Ponga, Billy, Hastings.

So many moving parts this week

Wasn't belted hard enough.

Nanai and Cotter unlikely for Cowboys.
Nanai required injection into ankle to return.
Cotter on baby watch and having a rest after 80 minute origin match

Same as Ponga.
Doesn't give a crap about the Knights and suddenly plays like a weapon in Maroon. 

Also have a funny feeling that Turner will do pretty well.

Ponga has to go into Origin to get some decent coaching

Also helps that he has DCE running the team and Munster creating havoc in the middle.
Not to mention a forward pack who is ripping in.
Imagine the Knights with a semi-decent half, decent running 5/8, tough and fit forwards, a hooker who offers something in attack ...

Had to sell him after Warriors game. So sick of his body language and hands on hips etc

Maybe because their head is scrambled & they're not thinking straight they seem to lose all fear & rip in. We all remember the Lonergan incident v Aussie where he was knocked out & convulsing on the ground but he played on & he was instrumental in the Kiwis winning in fact I think
he got motm.

Interesting aside, though assuming totally separate from the main point of long term problems that can come with it.

I admit I haven't watched him that closely, but has Collins been that bad for the Roosters this year like some are making out?

I realise raw stats don't tell the full story, but in 2020 he averaged: 26 tackles, 1TB, 1.4 MT, 0.5 errors, and 120 metres.

In 2021: 28 tackles, 1.8 TBs, 1.8 MTs, 0.2 errors, and 140 metres.

2022: 32 tackles, 1.1 TBs, 1.8 MTs, 0.6 errors, and 100 metres.

Slight reduction in metres this year, offset by an increase in tackle count. Errors, TBs, and MTs in line with 2020 (remembering he only played 6 games in 2021 so not a huge sample size).

Last night: 25 tackles, 3 misses, 0 tbs, 133 metres.


Happy to be proven wrong because like I said, haven't watched him particularly closely and stats don't always tell the story. Just wondering if it's a case of fantasy goggles, this narrative that he's been awful for the Roosters? To me it kinda looks like he did roughly what he always does last night? Slightly more metres but slightly fewer tackles.

Hey lads, cracker game last night!

Just a fantasy question - who would be the best loop option teams for the run home?

As in most like Saturday/Sunday games, would anyone happen to know?

Cheers

So a top 4 team?

I'm starting to think if it's worth trading Nanai. He said on the post game interviews it was pretty sore. Not sure how much Payten will use him for big minutes over this period. Might be better to chop him over the likes of Fermor.
