havent seen him talked about too much.

I have decided to go Pappy Mam to Booth Murray rather then Pappy to Fiffita

but now im considering also going Ming to Fifita


TU: Ming to D.Fifi 3 + 4 Trades
TD: Hold 4 + 4 Trades

Ming to fifita looks an upgrade to me

Oh bollocks, missed that bit

Just catching up on Cam Smith's final round at British Open. Sensational.

Albeit a bit unlikely, I wouldn't be putting the C on DCE this week, few Manly players with Covid now, don't wanna get stuck with him in your 17 if he doesn't play.

Does nikorima on the bench affect cooks minutes?

Most just worry about the next score the trade in gets and bases the trade success on that next score that player gets, when in reality you don't know until weeks down the line.

The Latrell Turbo run is mental, that was a genrational season from Turbo, Latrell doesn't have the desire to churn out performances like that over a long period.

You don't get the base Turbo offers in terms of RM, so it's all reliant on tries and TAs, and he will get shut out of games

I don't think he'll quite reach the heights that Turbo did last year, but I still think he'll go on a big run. He's always had the talent to do it, and he seems to finally have the right attitude, he's been a lot more of a leader recently than he has in the past. Add to that the fact that right now, Souths have one attacking play, and that's down the left side with Walker, Latrell and AJ

Will he be a captaincy option every week and score regular tons? No, not really, I don't think we'll ever see the insanity of last year again.

PS: I've backed off captaining him this week, I'll just stick with Cook who should also benefit from the Storm being shit but makes a gazillion tackles anyway.

Not enough to be worth worrying about. If Souths are up by a lot then Cook may get a 5 minute rest at the end but usually he plays 80 no matter what the bench utility does

Ben Turbo into #12, Kaeo Weekes into #9 for Manly.

Kaeo on Kayo

Hate not having 1 trade available with Pappy out and Manu a possible out, Suli injured.

Probably only features in this Weekes game though.

Was unreal. Bog average (20s/30s) in basically every state except 1st in strokes gained putting. Rory on the other hand was top 10 in a bunch of categories but like 30th in putting. Shows why the flat stick rules the course.

Walsh in current role

Maybe a controversial opinion but I feel like Walsh could easily score better off the bench. I’d be surprised if we sit him for 50-60 mins and if he’s an impact player off the bench it’s likely be into a role where he is more heavily involved in the attack and is getting more touches.

I suppose it could be move Asi and bring CHT into the halves and Walsh to Fullback

I haven’t had the cash generation for to afford the luxury of the big guns so I’m thinking of settling on Nat Butcher who should churn out 50+ scores for the rest of the season at only 548k. Any reason I shouldn’t?

Tell me which one should I vote for.

Can you afford 100k more for David Fifita? If not Butcher is a fine pick too, but Fifita is Fifita and when he's actually played 80 on the edge this year, he's averaged 61
