Looping has rarely paid off for me in the past, it's very hit and miss.
I guess with the additional bye per round, there will be more  opportunities this season to get it right

Robbo said Cheese will be looked at to play 80, but will depend on the week. Robbo said Turpin is there as a substitute if need be. So, I'm guessing no Turpin = 80 and Turpin = 55-60.

I think the first three weeks Cheese plays 80, no matter what. Then the chooks get the bye. Good time to reassess and see what the team needs.

Kudos for the top notch sarcasm.

But on that note, how hard would it be for the NRL to do Rd 1 team lists a bit earlier e.g. on the Friday this week?

Obviously during the season, it needs to be on the Tues - but with the clubs already having their last hit out last weekend...there is no reason the team lists can't be named early I would have thought.

I'm clearly coming from a fantasy bias/perspective but that aside, surely naming teams the weekend before gives a bit more time for hype/promotion.

Have a look at Mark Nicholls

I’ve got Nichols mate; don’t think he gets anywhere near 50 but he’s got the game to plod a 40 average and make some good coin

What are you thinking at hooker mate are you looking at someone like Mahoney or going up to a Grant? Or do you think starting Cheese at hooker is fine? I’m expecting Cheese to just play that 57-60mins intially.

Round it up/down mate, sure most on here will forgive you for being 1.5-3.2 minutes out on your predictions.

Sources close to the Amateurs believe that Turuva will NOT win the wing spot vacated by the injury to Taylan May, and youngster Jesse McLean (who was upgraded to the top 30 on 10/2) will get first go, with Brian To'o moving to his preferred left wing and McLean outside Crichton

TU: Hynes + AKP (TMM on field)
TD: Grant + CNK (TMM at 18 but only Cleary Boyd as halves so will be on field round 3 for Clearly Bye)
