I didn't watch the game, but from the thread he seemed a decent player.

It wasn't even Matt-specific. If I wanted to go there, there's plenty of of other stuff I could go with, but what's the point? Forum has been fairly restrained given how much talk there was the previous week.

Correlation between NSW Cup stats and first grade performance is barely relevant. That's been a conversation point with or without Matt, but has been shown in extremis with Sullivan. If I was picking up Angus, then the things I'd factor in are previous NRl experience (big thumbs up) and the fact that he's one of four mid-priced Roosters edges, any one of whom could start, bench, or start *and* be benched (big thumbs down). How he did against Manly reserves is not massively useful, I don't think.

Schuster playing badly (if he did, have no idea if reporter watched game or just looks at stat line) *is* relevant in the way it impacts the commonly-owned Burbo and his job security.

PS well done in absolutely smashing me in L1 H2H this week.

Which yoghurt did he end up choosing?

Greek - better for the waistline than the flavoured kinds.

Glad to hear it! When he was at the Broncs I saw him at the supermarket one day having an existential crisis in the yoghurt section, picking up various varieties reading the contents and putting them back. Happy to see he’s moved on.

Coincidentally saw Stephen Kearney the same day strolling along with his hands in his pockets, whistling. He got the sack a month or so later.

Pretty good start for me, team in a good spot.

Didnt chase the bright lights.

Early flick of Ponga - interesting. Could prove to be seriously well played.

My problem is that I have 5 plodders and duds that I would love to punt, but I'm not seeing a combo of any two of them that can get me to Terrell May and Finefuiaki. Which, on a Sunday night before team lists n' stuff, is where I feel I want to be next week. Just not sure I can get there... unless I trade out a Ponga too, lol. But I don't have the testicular fortitude for that, as I am certain he will score a 91 the week I trade him out - if I did.

Based on Booze's season last year, I'd say any decision he makes about ditching "guns" will work out for the best for him.
If I had picked Ponga, I'd be following Booze's lead.
