When Bird was lock at the end of last season, Bird was getting 70-80 minutes, with JDB getting 55-65 minutes at prop.

At least they’re improving. They actually responded this year.

Not getting much traffic in the TU/TD thread

Trade out..
TU alamoti
TD talau

Talau has dual, but alamoti might not be a low scorer whereas we know talau is

Just the one trade for me Egan to Carty. The cash is too appealing if they can get similar scores

That seems worse than Cheese to Carty I'm considering. Egan not nursing alleged rib issue

Hmm when you think Jazz is building fitness in NSW this week, I honestly can't see Ford keeping 80 minutes in a couple weeks. Webster will have to find a way to give Harris, Walker, Tevaga time in the forward pack, along with Ford, Niuokre and Curran in the second row. Who knows how Webster is going to balance that.

With Ilias, if he can hold a 40 average he'll still make $100k, which is probably enough early in the season, and a handy bench guy?

Hmm this was the main reason I avoided Ford in the first place but he seems to be backed by the coach and Niukore was the one to make way for Curran, so have been pretty keen on grabbing him this week.

Got me rethinking again though.

I think someone said he played some middle for a bit can anyone confirm and how long for? Did Barnett go to edge? Perhaps when Jazz is back they wont need him to do that stint in the middle and he only plays 60 odd

Do we give Utoikamanu another week?

Loving the new Warriors Iron man jerserys!

If Carty scores 40 and Egan 45 I’ll consider it a win

He did get the mins just not the points…if I actually had him I would give it more time

lubedragon wrote:Do we give Utoikamanu another week?

He played 50 minutes which is promising for a career 0.93PPM. He just didnt seem to be very involved, which could be due to the style of game, but Klemmer and Twal got through plenty so not too sure.

by default I am, not enthused, hope he runs over some c*nts and Api gives him some try assists

As much as I would have liked to give him one more week, I had to release him and bring in Thompson to fix up the three ring circus I have happening in the centres.

Im glad i punted UTO from my OG squad, because if i had him, id feel inclined to give him another week. And this time next week, id be annoyed at another 30

Why punt Uto? I'm keeping him all year cause he got the role I expected ffs!

This speaks to me. There's no real reason to bin him now but it just reeks of him hanging around for weeks eeking out 30s and barely making cash. He probably needs a try to get things moving.

Too low scores for your bench and too expensive for EMG. Joffa stealing minutes this week.

I have Uto and am worried that while the minutes look good (and hopefully the points come) didn’t Sheens say Api and Ofa were working back to match fitness.

Ofa for 30 on that first game could easily take another 10-15 mins from Uto and then he doesn’t have the role either..

Have Uto and seriously considered trading.

Started him because he has potential and signs were there he was ready. Come Sunday he failed to get into the game.

I've been concerned of his minutes but thinking the question is more about his mentality - is he in attack mode. The Tigers will give him the minutes if he's rampaging. Hard to be confident he will fire up, just hope he does, and consequently will need a few rounds to see if there's a spark.
