    Probably not good for Alamoti losing his partner in crime.

    Does Kiraz have a younger brother to fill the spot by any chance?

    I would expect one of Burns, Skelton or Casey to come in. Most likely Burns as they will need someone with experience next to Alamoti.

    Would be great if Kiraz switches to the side that is getting all the ball.

    If he avoids suspension he could well get himself back on track
    Don’t know how sustainable him matching historical 40 average is though given he barely kicked at all. Was expecting closer to an even split in kicking but maybe should have known as Katoa was a 7 in reserves

    Jayden Okunbor back from suspension next week, probably slots straight in for JAC.

    $258k and career average of 30.. Only 21 in a few appearances last year though and 28-30 previous seasons accounting for the TB nerf.

    Reckon Okenbur would go back to wing? (I haven’t no idea how long he’s out for)

    Yeah Burns was the other I thought might come in. Okunbor's been hanging around on the interchange though, so I reckon it'll be him.

    Not sure if he has gone full Oates and now a forward.

    Would have been ideal to have on the bench this week, maybe that is his best role, so they don't get caught out when a back goes down.

    Yeah I was looking at his tackle count. Misses less than Mahoney. Might have that utility role locked up.

    Be good if Skelton gets a go. Would be an ideal downgrade for someone next week

    Skelton is CTR only currently, could get WFB added if named there when they do the updates next week. Could be handy as I have no CTR/WFB cover currently.

    Burns primarily used as a CTR since joining the Dogs, so might be between Skelly and the Ok.

    Yeah I bought him in expecting him to do over half of the kicking and that didn’t happen. Lucky he didn’t cost us anything except the trade so happy to let him sit in the EMG till Milf comes back if he does

    That's all it should be, but since they're in crackdown mode, he'll probably get a week to be annoying.

    I'd rather he got 2 in that case. I'd trade him instead of Loiero and then swap Loiero for him Rd 9 with Storm on the bye.

    The worry would be them moving Alamoti there while The Fox is out

    Don't see that happening, was getting burned by a slow winger.

    Dunster would have a field day with him next week.

    I thought Katoa's kicking was awful. Just got lucky they were playing an equally awful cowboys side

    I don’t think so either but the thought looms

    I agree, without the sinbin he would have had an acceptable score for a cheapie
    I wouldn't have had him in my 17 if Tapine wasn't out, but it is what it is... 5 points more than Warbrick though 💪

    Katoa has without doubt been thrown in the deep end.

    He needs to be encouraged to run the ball, has looked good on the very few occasions that he has run.
