Gotta love a two game sample size average with one very high score making a mockery of using it as an average.

He averaged 45 in 6 games at second row in 2021. Still a decent pick but its time for guns.

He was 20 then. Look at the improvements most EDGs have in their early 20s as they grow into the role.

Tuponiua is now out for the season (neck surgery on a bulging disc), so looks like Nat might have to play due to there being literally nobody else available (Angus and Egan also injured).

Unless there has been an update, it sounded like Nat only had a niggle? So should be playing regardless.

What are the chances Hynes gets selected for Game 3?

Pretty good

You could even say

Pretty Pretty Pretty Good

Whyte and Wong?

Nat is injured too. Robbo said they only get Suaalii back next week, no one else, in the post game interview.

I know Nat's injured, but we don't know the severity and if he was close to playing last week, they may need to rush him back.

I guess we'll see tomorrow.

Not sure why this got a downvote, you're not wrong and it wasn't dismissive or mean and gave the facts.
Gave you an upvote for balance.

Dammit Revs.

Roosters can't go Wong with Whyte imo

Must have been a hefty night on the sauce.

I’ll check on him when I get home.

Thanks for looking out for me chief. Too many jelly shots.

Wasn't me.

I've got Sandon and 10 trades, no Wong here and can't do anything right

Common knowledge that Whyte is at least twice as good as Wong.

I'm not so sure that 2 Wongs make a Whyte

What does everyone's ideal final team look like?
By season averages (at least a few games, not currently injured) it's

Grant
Haas, Yeo, Hopgood
Fifita, IPap
Hynes, Cleary
Gagai Bird
Dedwards, Marzhew, Isaako
Johnson Moses AFB JDB

Cover isn't great with this though and there's probably some form picks that could outperform (Drinkwater, Bateman, Nikora, Garrick at FB?)

NRL Physio has tweeted updates on Sitili, Nat and Angus. No mention of Turpin so hopefully no news is good news

Ribs are tough to read though, remember Cheese coming back and playing the next week? Hopefully works out better for Turpin..
