When JWH is back he gets suspended

That podcast cracks me the fuck up. Just normal chat here in NZ

That said if you were an anon lurker, you might not get it, but thats your fault for being an anon lurker

Whoever shared it was obviously trying to make it look real, by not including the message you were replying to, and was the line directly above the 'late mail' in the post

But no doubt Wacko or the Mole will see it floating around the internet, and soon it will be picked up by the other late mail sites and everyone will expect it

Would love peoples opinions on the following.

In light of the absence of dependable Hooker options (other than Grant), I'm considering starting with Boyd and making a call on my main hooker option after Week 1. I'm not a fan of locking in Cheese early and would love some clarity on the Eels hooker roles. Even Levi could be an option.
I figure I'll be making a trade in week 1 anyway, so why not do it in a manner where I can make the most informed decision. There's bound to be a failed pick in my side somewhere after Round 1 and seems simple enough to keep a bit of cash ITB for the trade. This avenue allows me to take risks on guys like Smithies or Plath and see what happens.

Obviously the Round 2 bye forces me to make a call but I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing.

Big brained or idiotic?

Just don't own Leniu.

You've been around for years, why fall into that trap.

Oh wow, never even picked up on the double play on words.

I've locked him in my 2025 side already!

Yeah gone off completely. Probably gamble on Wong+Sitili and hope for the best

In training the house down news, the daily telegraph is reporting:

1. Teddy had 15 training sessions with Roger Fabri (sprint coach), and Fabri says Teddy is faster than he has been for 3 years (but also says he has no data to back that up). In the 5 weeks, Teddy’s 60metre time went from 7.58 to 7.21seconds. Only comparison point was Xerri who clocks 6.9seconds

2. An article titled “Mam’s a cut above the rest” say he got a new hair style for Vegas.

This feels so very possible, it's scary

I await the Fox news early mail starting teams

I'm pretty sure I heard mention in the Raiders trial that big papa has lost 8kg - he's probably faster than Fog now... actually wait a minute...

My brain can't handle this.

Happy to see their parents had a sense of humour.

I think you're more likely going to want to use that trade to pick up someone you missed than dump someone, it's pretty hard to call a pick a failure after 1 week. Injuries etc happen but I'd prefer not to be expecting them.

Also why not give yourself the chance to get it right? Outside of Grant and Cook all the likely candidates are similarly priced and if you want one of the big dogs that requires more planning.

FWIW I think just running Boyd could be a good option and he could be your main hooker option with and eel/Levi etc to cover r2

Don't mind the theory at all. Love that stuff. But the plan involves picking Boyd....

@Mulvy as well

I've really come round to Boyd. Originally just a great cover option for my starting halves which included Hutch, it frees up more opportunity to load up on mid/edg cheapies which is where the value lies. I'm not gonna turn my nose up at an almost guaranteed 45 points every week. As mentioned previously, you can get away with a safe, valued at their average, type player. Guaranteed points and cover help earliy season as much as cash generation. Have to assume that's what most people are doing with Haas, I'm just doing it with the cheaper Boyd instead.

I may still just rock with Boyd and Levi based on this, just really not enamored with Levi, even if he wins the starting role.

Obviously Boyd offers half cover, but aside from that, you could just start with Robson for 45-50 scoring and not have to worry about a bye forever.

Whichever Raider partners Fog will be half cover anyway. Maybe not a great scorer but in the 18-21 a 25-30 is ok.

Been a lot of neg chat around Hutch in the last 48 hours here but I think he will be solid enough. A cumbersome trial does not make a season. Maybe Sexton is closer to getting the gig than I think though.
