I'm not sure why there is this thought that Metcalf will have any impact on SJ's scoring? Surely SJ will play the same role he has all year and Metcalf will play the same role TMM/Walker/Volkman have

Pookus McFly wrote:Is there any chance BA goes bananas and puts Hopgood on an edge last minute? Im worried Ofa gives him an alternative at lock and he might think Carty/Doorey too light on the edges. It seems a little nutso, admittedly- but so is BA!

Snatchpato wrote:Think I'll avoid Ponga and CNK this week and just reassess next week. I suspect down the line I will lament using a trade on either one for the sake of an extra number.

I will likely regret it when a healthy Ponga scores 98 but oh well.

Haven't they got 3 mids on the bench? Can Doorey play 80? Defo a chance he spends some time on the edge

Under Hook you can bet Bird and JdB just would’ve played as de facto halves (and we lose comfortably anyway) so hoping the new coach at least tries something else. He has nothing to lose - he’s basically got no chance of getting the job next year.

Will take it as a win if we lose by less than we beat the Dolphins by last time and the young guys show something.

JMK
Horse, JDB, Tohu
Hopgood, Ford
SJ, Katoa
Bird, Lemmy
Drinkwater, Ponga, Bula

Cleary, Hynes, Fifita, Hosking,
Manu, Oloapu, Billy Smith, Sele 

Sele is locked in for a trade next week to Turpin (if named).

All the best everyone. See you on the other side.

I’d go bird, he’s the best centre for back end of the year

Manly won’t be good without dce and turbo and jurbo imo

(Just my 2c/gut feel)

He's going to be motivated to put on a show, and back at fullback, so should miss less tackles.

Robson, Tatola and DBrown vs JMK, Tohu and Katoa, and you're 7 points ahead...

CONS:
coming off hamstring injury, job security risk, not basement price.

PROS:
BUILT FOR FANTASY

I for one am trading him in.
