The timing was a valid point, hindsight is a wonderful thing. Now do I cut my losses and run or take the hit and hope he comes good ??

I'm just gonna hold and hope to salvage something before origin. Would feel good to trade him though tbh, but then not so good if he comes back firing and he always seems to be 1 game away from his BE no matter how high it is.

Can never trust hookers vs Storm (maybe I'm imagining this).

Had a quick look at this years hookers vs the storms:

R1 Hodgson 45 in 84 mins
R2 Mahoney 54 in 80 including a TA/LBA
R3 Randall 34 in 69, Clark 26 in 40 (~11 mins in hooker)
R4 Api - 41 in 80 including a try

Small sample size and none of them are Cook, but base does seem a bit lower. From memory I think the Storms have been talked about as moving a lot from edge to edge, so middle defenders lose a bit of base?

Surely Hodgson's score is the equivalent of a 90 from an actually good hooker?

This might be because the Storms' middle has a few major outs. This also might reflect why guys like Loiero and Katoa are good picks. I am reluctant to Capt a player against Storm and Panthers unless it's Hynes

Actually I do remember pulling some stats a few years ago for hookers against Storm and it was something like 5 pts less against Storm than normal across the board.

Anyway, Storm team is looking a little different this year. Cookie for a banner. GOODBYE

Hopefully not back where we started next week!

Love the early clamour from the Shire for Suaalii to play FB over that roadblock Joey Manu next week

'Trent Robinson has a decision to make'.....didn't he say he has already made that decision and it's JM all the way?

I would love to see Manu and Suaali get a full-time FB gig elsewhere, they have so much more to offer than at CTR
A bit of a waste of talent

Suaalii had to go to union to get his

So I don't come on the forum after Souths games, do I now have to avoid this place after Roosters games as well?

Think Joey Manu has rocketed to the top of my fix my WFB plans next week

If he goes sub 30 I will. 33 is like the party is just having a wee lull like someone has turned off the music and pulled out an acoustic guitar.
Someone will get the tunes going again soon after Dylan or Vaughan has finished playing Wonderwall.

I am thinking similarly, but for fixing CTR

Carty has just nipped down to the bottle store as we ran out of grog, hopefully, he makes it back via the passing Lane and doesn't get arrested by the cops coach.

disclaimer: Don't drink & drive.

Punting Teddy for a 150k loss is surely a recipe for disaster as he has nowhere to go but from from here (well 2-3 weeks from here).

May as well delete the app now.

65 BE with one game at fb against storm, then Teddy’s back?

Just hold Teddy, it's like shares, in it for the long haul, then you lose nothing, he will average 55 by season's end.

Courier Mail saying Niu is out for 2 months, could be Bostock cheapie time?

Edrick Lee is a threat but he isn't named for Redcliffe this week, and not listed as injured on nrl.com so dunno what's going on there.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he beat that BE at fullback with career average of 63 excluding low min game

Latrell other option also has high BE. Turbo probably a sell over Origin due to bye schedule. Maybe Edwards is the best option
