FFS JD leave Cook alone

I'm defo not purchasing a fullback the size of Rabbits playing for a wooden spoon team

10000% a wait and see.

Problem is, though, with three weeks in the spot he’s not a wait and see at all, is he? Surely he’s now or never, or is the thought that he locks down another role in the team when Latrell is back?

Jye Gray running from a kick at McInnes is going to be like that guy in the country footy ad who smiles and half his teeth are missing

tiny fullback for three weeks in bottom of the ladder team not showing any signs of improvement?

hardest no you'll get from me.

Boom Canberra fullback Chevy Stewart is set to earn a long-awaited NRL debut this weekend with Raiders coach Ricky Stuart to blood the youngster on Sunday afternoon.

Stewart will be handed the No.1 jumper to replace veteran Jordan Rapana, who suffered a knee injury in last weekend’s win against Parramatta.

Medical staff are sweating on the results of scans to determine the extent of Rapana’s injury that could require surgery and sideline him in the medium term.

Stewart was in a fullback duel during the pre-season but coach Stuart opted to switch Rapana from the wing into the no.1 jumper.

Albert Hopoate will miss another week after sustaining serious burns to his arm after an oil can exploded at the home of teammate Corey Harawira-Naera in a freak accident.

Forward Zac Hosking will be available for selection after overcoming a head knock, while Corey Horsburgh is in doubt with a groin injury. (Telegraph)

Yep there's the base price cow for all.

For me then its probably

Rapana -> Chevy
Sitili -> Hynes

And hope like hell that Api and everyone else plays in order to field 17. And enjoy Cook probably playing from the bench...

Rabbitohs coach Jason Demetriou will inject “flair” into his team by making a trio of changes including starting rookie hooker Peter Mamouzelos over Damien Cook in must-win game against Cronulla on Saturday night.

That’s the opinion of Jack Wighton who has backed the promotion of energetic fullback Jye Gray, flying winger Tyrone Munro and the crafty Mamouzelos.

All three rookies trained in the Rabbitohs starting line-up on Tuesday with Gray taking over from the suspended Latrell Mitchell.

Munro is back from a shoulder injury for his first game of the year while Cook ran with the ‘second team’ and is likely to enter the match from the interchange bench.

“We know we’re going to have that flair and young energy out there, they’ve got the young fresh legs and it’s exciting,” Wighton said. (Telegraph)

The intention of that part of the Ad really grinds me, as Ur meant to think a younger, regular player is scared of a 60yo who lost his teeth and isnt a starter.

Thinking to much ?

Is this kid any good? Tempted to go;

Rapa - Campbell
Sitili - Hynes

And have a look at Chevy first.

Going to be the 3rd week in a row of double trading to field 16 maximum, unless Chan suits up. This 2 trade limitation has been a curse, can't engage and even get out of the murky waters.

I think the Chevy trade will depend on how long Rapana is out for too.
If surgery is required and he’s out for a while, could be a great option, especially given his price
Don’t want to burn a trade if he’s only going to be Rapanas replacement for 1-2 weeks

Hosking will kill it again now I sold him.

Looking at Katoa priced at 50 does he have some value? Ignoring the score last game he looked really good and previous games he got 52 53 doing nothing crazy in 80 mins and 44 in 66 due to HIA.

Really nice fixtures next 4

Almost seems he's priced at his base

Everyone grabbing Hynes but I’m still keen on SJ.
Hopefully the bold strategy pays off

Is his injury history bad or was I just scarred at the wrong time last year ?

I'm leaning SJ but it's scary

it seems Chan played well in reserve grade, but i can see Blore + Katoa being the long term answers for them. if Chan can leap back over Blore id probably buy him again

Kinda like KPP will score well doing nothing and then just waiting for the boom games

My initial intention was to split the Cleary money around but not sure it's gonna make up the points. Sharks should have a field day against us, but saying that, nothing wrong with SJ. Hell, I even looked at Hughes for 200K less.

Haven't looked at trades yet but SJ was on my buy list for last week, will most likely grab him this week if I can make it work

This is a dead coach walking

Huge vibes of when Dragons shuffled their spine so Hunt was hooker, I think Corey Norman FB, and so on... and it all ended up with Dufty coming on and everyone shuffling positions.
