    I'm considering going Tolo & Rapana to May & Turbo with 164k itb

    Turbo up against the Roosters 42 BE and scoring around 50-55?

    Rapana up against the Tigers 30 BE I could see him scoring around 50 with offloads and TBs

    I could also see Rapana going vintage and getting an 80+

    I'm thinking you aren't getting either Rapana or Turbo for 1 weekend.

    Its quite funny that this is still our weakness after so many years.

    Even with reyno there, its like the influence of the young and fun players around him has led him astray.

    It does make for entertaining games though, which is what im all about.

    God help us if TPJ comes back. We might miss the 8.

    Is it really that controversial?

    Wighton a great CTR

    Tass eh
    4th player NSW Cup level

    Lomax and Bird - enigmatic but both potentially rep players if fit and in the right headspace. Which Flanno will unlock
    Rava - I actually got a semi imagining him against old mate Rabs ideal Souffs side including stringbean Munro and jockey sized Gray. There’s still a crater from that time he ran over Taaffe
    Suli - above NSW cup level

    (I was joking that if Graham had been there against Lomax, you'd have found the points swing even more in the Dragons favour. This week's 3/4s though? St George, no question.

    Wighton or Latrell would push Staggs out of a centre slot, would prefer Latrell. Cobbo keeps the other centre. Wighton as utility is a good shout.

    Ooh, can we play this with the Roosters? Because the answer is one: Cameron Murray. Maybe Latrell if he played centre or 15-minute bench prop

    Yep, some even have Strange running in the halves. If you have 6 <$300k guys in your team, the only 2 I feel I could rely on in my 17 for decent scoring at the moment are Burbo and Salmon.

    I’d put Carrigan at prop, keep Murray at lock, Riki takes the vacant 2nd row spot and put Tatola at left-right-out to get Piakura on the bench instead, but otherwise that seems about right.

    Lol, maybe. Although last year it was the Roosters who got smashed with injuries, this year maybe it'll be Souths. Let's see if they can make the top 15.

    No was going to trade Turbo in for rest of season, nor sure whether to wait a week or go now. I should probably just not fuck around thinking about it and just do it

    Walker (if he keeps playing like a spud, Hawkins.
    Gray (Ilias needs to dropped now or JD loses his job)

    Hopefully this does happen. I've never rated JD from the get go personally. I do fear that we are keeping Ilias in longer than he should be just because of the whole Reyno thing and moving him out because Ilias was the heir apparent. But he sucks, plain and simple.
