Yeah, looked at his price and no way for me. Not for potentially only 3 games (but could be longer I guess)

My conspiracy theory is that he'll miss the rest of the season with ongoing unspecified injuries then retire in order to not go out with everyone thinking the bad season was his fault and he was past it

Should never have split 3 in a row winning halves pair just to accommodate SJ

Actually CNK played once but TMM was steering the team and trying to do some hybrid thing with half crocked SJ was foolish

This would be a good opportunity to put CNK at 6, where he played great, RTS to fullback.

Yeah the RTS at centre experiment hasn't worked out, we need to cut our losses on that one. Put him either at fullback or wing

Turbo and Garrick in for Round 19 looks to be the play if they go on their usual end of season scoring spree

It's kinda mental to me that SJ was arguably the player of the season last year in the entire NRL but after a few wins in his absence and them some losses when he comes back it's time to take him out back and put him down. Seems a bit harsh.

I also suspect if the sample is more than 2-3 games, then TMM is not the answer to any question worth asking.

Wonder if Webby tries it this week, could be a great idea. Charnze was brilliant running it in the halves and if it allows RTS to get involved, can't be worse than last week's debacle.

I forgot about Turbo back as a possible Rd 19 number/buy

yeah i don't think losing by 60 is down to one player.

Give him a couple of weeks to get back up to speed and then straight into Origin 3.

Wasn't the story that RTS only agreed to come back if he didn't play fullback?

Something about lower fitness/training needs and where his body was at this point, and what he was willing to do. If CNK to 5/8, then Tuaupiki will come to FB

Hadn't seen anything about that. If it is the case, then stick him on the wing. I'd love to never see Montoya again

3rd hand info (no pun intended) apparently JC has had surgery on his hand... Can't see an update anywhere from the titans tho

Guess that means Brimson returns at 6, Kini stays at fullback. Would love that for Foran.

Super! (thanks @tigs)

Be handy to know if Campbell is out for an extended period....I'd probably go him to Wilison as a handcuff to Patty and an extra Mid in Rd19

If he's not out I'd keep him as he has looked sharp AF at five eight

Few too many orange juices mate?

What's the usual downtime for post op return?

If Galvin can play through a fracture, so can JC.

Not sure the source is trustworthy that the pun wasn’t intended
