tbh, i think they'll pick both on the bench. is guerra a certainty? his form has been woeful. anyway this is getting a bit derailed from fantasy chat

Who would replace Guerra in the second row? Move Parker back to 11 or 12? Or big Pappa Starts?

thaiday was still playing in the back row last year for qld. you could go with him again + gillett or papalii. both of those guys form has been good enough to warrant a starting spot

So Myles and Scott at Prop

Parker at Lock

2rf Papa and Thaiday and gillett off the bench.

Also have Mcguire off the bench, Guerra off the bench? (doesn't look right) And Morgan, no lillyman.

If they went with that confirguration I could see them dropping Guerra before Lillyman

Fensom and Tapine free to play for Raiders on Sunday with early guilty pleas.Sharks forward Luke Lewis could miss the game vs Raiders .

a guy like taupau though, you just have to be getting him more ball. you look at a scorecard with manly scoring 36 pts and you'd think he would have had at least a few beast runs in there.

This.
If you have a weapon like Taupau you bloody well use him. Five/Six runs a game is simply nowhere near enough.
Should be making double that minimum.

Didnt Fensom injure himself or something also? Would be great if he plays this coming week. Now have to decide who I bring in this week between SJ and RTS

Well Taupau actually made 10 runs against Warriors  (on the official stats, and 9 according to both nrlstats and supercoach)

So he's at least 50% better than he's been given credit for here

J Trbo to get given dual status this week!

Yep, definitely plus for J-Turbo owners.

Who else is on the DPP radar? Guerra, Wallace, Gagai, Harris...

Which round do origin players miss for origin camp again?

@bren  I need 23 from Graham to take out our h2h L2

12, 15, 18

Unless you have Gallen, he will miss Rounds 10 through to 21.

No mention of fenos injury so I assume he is good to play.

Hodgson cleared of serious thumb injury and will play vs Sharks. Vaughan to be named but faces a fitness test on his ankle later in the week

You just jinxed Graham, I can see a 18th minute concussion not to return leaving his score on 22

I've pretty much won both my h2hs before the last game has been played.

Fanatics L2 - Bromwich and Cam Smith vs my 200 point lead.
Public League - Bromwich vs Smith + 300 my point lead.

We can only hope. Prefer his score to be 2 though.

As long as Graham's 22 means Smith only gets 18, then Im happy.

Wallace and gagai

That's what I'm expecting so I thought I'd double bluff fate by calling it out.
