Harris is back and better than ever, base stat beast. 80 minutes, 60 tackles, 144 running meters = 74 in base.

Thinking he is likely my captain in round 4 when we see if Matterson takes some points off Hopgood.

I wonder if 80 mins will be standard, I am pretty sure losing Ford early threw the rotations out somewhat.

But if his role is going to be 80mins he is defo an option for Muzza when origin rolls around, but I am not ripping my team apart for him now.

As long as Warriors are in the game, I expect 80, if there is a blow out either way, he may get a rest at the end. Was struggling at the end of the game in round 1, but was fine in this game.

Has a history of 80 minute games at lock, and holds the team together with his workload and presence as the captain.

They look like they have the same problem as Eels at the moment, middle third was pretty ineffective towards the later stages of the game. Roosters were marching up field every set, just couldnt put the game away. But yeah were down a couple of players obviously yesterday. I don't think they have anyone missing (other than Jazz?), Curran playing big mins through the middle would help.

I mean, yeah of course, if Harris plays 80 most weeks he's a must have, be surprised if it continues ? At 65 ish mins he's just a normal gun.

Depending on how Doueihi goes it will be between him and Harris for me.

How do you see Jazz's return impacting his minutes, if at all?

If you had captained Douehi last week you would have been shitting bricks when he was on 13 at half time.

I don't see it impacting. Look at the 72 minutes Barnett played, he loses them before Harris.

I am going DCE or doueihi if he gets 65+ today to replace Cleary, and I will bring in Hammer or Walsh as I have no CTR/WFB cover. Leaning Hammer.

Probably a disaster will strike tonight and throw all ideas out the window.

If you want consistency in a captain (if Hopgood gets a reduced role), its hard to go past Harris, have a look at the first 11 rounds of 2021, pre-ACL, had a low of 61, and looking even better so far this season. Note that 60 is his highest tackle count ever.

I have Hopgood, Harry, Haas, Carrigan and Muzza as Capt options, I don't need Harris.

Likely bringing in DCE or Doeihi this week to skip Cleary's byes and look at bringing him back post origin, I want to be able to hop on Hynes post first bye once he is fully functioning.

Oh I forgot to add Preston as a Capt option

Damn, I was hoping he'd get MID added down the line, but probably not then.

Well he was named at 13 in team lists. And fanhub does random dpps sometimes.

Highest tackles? So he has peaked

Lol, maybe. Some would say fitter than ever.

Surely not as fit as Nathan Friend?

Must have been training the house down pre-season

Geez Egan is probably going to stick around until he loses minutes. Alamoti might've proved you just stick with him until you need Talaus 10 points, way higher ceiling

I am looking for Douehi to put Talau through for 2 tries today.

Because of the match-up? We know how that goes....
