Fair enough.  I need SJ to bounce back, but ummm, I'm not overly confident.  I do like Tolman too, even he can wait a week and it won't do too much damage to the budget.  He should be able to match Grahams scores for almost 100K less you would think.

Yeah Tolman is a bargain (379k b/e 43) & he can more than match Graham & sometimes better him but he's probably a 5 point lower scorer than Graham but that's more than compensated by his low price. But I'm also looking at M. Cooper (390k b/e 37) as due to his dpp is probably a slightly better pick than Tolman.
Tolman v M. Cooper lat 3 games:
Tolman - scores = 31,44,49 tackles = 24,32,29
M. Cooper - scores = 44,49,54 tackles = 40,24,36

I haven't looked at tackle breaks, offloads,etc but I'd say M. Cooper would be in front for those.

Cooper be 40, so he can wait too. He was killing it mid year last year when I had him, then dropped to a 35 point player. Looks like Mary might start seeing his potential again. I like both Cooper and Tolman though.

Gillette struggled through training with knee brace swapping in and out with Pangai. McGuire also could be in doubt but would say he will play.

Looks as though I have found my two cash out forwards in Asiata and Pangai Junior, hoping he doesn't play this week but next.

thaiday has played prop (in the prop rotation) all year

I think just last week he moved to 2FR while Glenn was out didn't he?

Didn't know Gillette was carrying an injury.

Think he tweaked his knee during the game last week, I noticed him being a little ginger on it. Not a major injury but enough to be a nuisance.

Whilst I abhor people driving over the limit, this was brilliant.

I've been looking at both as well, Mooper looks the better with DPP and more chance of TB's and offloads. In games he's played around 60 mins, he averages just short of 50..
If he keeps that up, he's at bargain price.

In relation to the cheerleader thing, I have a photo of her, but its from a distance, is there an archive or something which I can see that would have her?

And i won't post it here, would have to be PM

So basically you didn't score a try otherwise you would have more photos.

I scored 5 tries, but i didnt take any photos of the the actual grounding. Is that what's required?

yeah - that was just covering glenn. what i meant was other than that, thaiday has been playing middle third all year.

Would be great if Pangai Junior got a run. All year the Broncos played Thursday/Friday but the 1 game they might have team changes they are playing the last game so we won't know for sure.

I think you are mistaken. Four replays of the one try doesn't mean you scored five tries.

broncos are saying he wont play and will just travel as cover. but you'd expect them to say that, to keep his debut under wraps. so yeah, i doubt we will know until sunday.

Warriors wrote:Looks like the bad blood between Hook and Segy will continue. Nathan Cleary set to make debut this weekend for Panthers as well as Brock Lamb for Newcastle.
Looks as though Wallace will stay at Hooker but Cleary could also just be on the bench. Anyone trading in Ryan Matterson even though he is on the bench?

Fuck he was impressive. And the size of him means he is potentially going to come on quicker than someone like Brooks who had a rampaging debut as well.

Since the Knights lost out on Coote they should be going after Seggy hard.

so whats this about nathan cleary? is he a half and is going to start the game in the halves? or come off the bench?

Just a name will do I know a few current and ex Broncos cheerleaders

I am having a really nice smoked cheddar with my lunch today.
You guys seemed to the most appropriate group to share this with.

Not going to take any photos of it to prove it.
