    These bye periods are messing with my head more than usual, thought I had my potential trades for the next couple of weeks worked out to only just now realise if I made them I'd have no hooker next week.

    So now I don't think I can get Oloapu in, as I'm short on trades and need to bring in a backup hooker instead.

    I am happy to use a knife and fork to eat a pie, but it should be possible to eat it with your hands, for structural integrity reasons

    Is 10 touches enough for Latrell in origin?

    I would argue the other way, and can argue with To'o JAC you don't need Latrell returning kicks (he doesn't anyway as above) Just get his hand on the ball as much as possible.

    Kid also grows a leg when challenged.

    Walsh only made 81m Wednesday, not your prototypical fullback return if he's expected to run ball back all day but his touches out the back mattered


    Interesting take on Latrell, not sure I agree but I'm not against trying it at some point.

    Aside from that Walsh stat about metres run, I do think Teddy was almost too involved and too busy without being particularly effective on Weds. Might be an argument this has been the case with the Roosters for a lot of the last season or so as well.

    Cut the puff of the top then use it as a spoon for 1/3 of the filling to minimise spillage risk then eat as a normal person would with their hands

    I agree

    Probably sacrilege to say this but footy pies are normally pretty ordinary because they lack the firmness in the pastry for easy eating in hands.

    I'm not in the Ted has completley lost it camp either, just thinking about options. Looked like he was taking too much on Wednesday, especially considering his decreased lack of involvement at club level.

    Long term I don't see an issue with Latrell at CTR in origin, but he needs the ball.

    Come on Ry Papy for next series and beyond!

    I'd be quite happy to run out the same team for game two just moving the outside backs to their preferred side as they should have been to begin with. If the space cadet can't find a way to use Hynes swap him for cook.

    For me, player of Hynes ability, you want him on the field for the maximum. Not trying to swiss army knife him. Put in at 6.

    My perfect match!

    I’ll take an avatar bet NW? Given the events of Wednesday night you can make all the rules up.
