E. For the POD lol

Also the movie I'm going to is Hunt for the Wilder People.

Going to see Cap 3 Civil War next Wednesday night.

#TeamCap

I think Ironman is right though.

Avoid Brock Lamb, a young rookie half in a crap team. Has trap written all over him.

Half, goalkicking good too but Sowy and Moylan would be in front I would think. Bench Half won't score enough you would think. Panthers have shit byes to, 12 and 15 I think

What's this talk with Seggy being on the outer then?

Norman with 500+ kick meters and some attacking stats tonight would be lovely.

Fwiw I read something yesterday, I don't think it's true at all but I'll mention it.

Somebody said Wallace might stay as Hooker, Segeyaro might go into the halves.

I think the Matterson trades are a bit premature, but you never know.

I went BJ though.

I take it this was a reply to me? Sold on BJ too, think I will go Bj and Matterson in, TMM and Gutherson out.

Next week will look at Hastings and Ben Henry out for Norman and Lamb after having a look this week. Probably going to be a few injuries pop up in the international round too.

Wallace could end up playing 80 sharing time between hooker and half. Segy to start, cleary to come on. Think Hook likes the direction Wallace gives the forwards at hooker.
All it says to me is that I would not buy Segy, nor are the other two options either.

Also regarding Matherson, was injured preseason, first game back two games ago carved in reserves, MOM I thought I read, got his shot in first grade on form, then impressed so could be around for the long haul, especially if Pearce plays origin two and three he is a good option for his price.

For those who have no idea who Matterson is, he’s a former Captain for the Eels’ Holden Cup squad who came to the Roosters for 2016. However, up until last week he was out with a broken leg before finally making his debut for Wyong and taking home the Man of the Match award.

The dude is one big unit for his position, a five-eighth in the Greg Bird/Wade Graham/Curtis Sironen mould before they became back-rowers: he stands at 6’4″ and weighs in at over 103kgs.

Last reserve between D. Saifiti, Kennar & Gutherson. Winning boom.

Currently on Gutherson but Kennar is close. Both playing wing. Which one has more of a chance on scoring a try?

kennar probably more likely if storm continue on with the form they showed last week. who knows what happens in the game tonight but no foran could hurt eels alot. honestly though, its probably a flip of a coin choice.

So I think a lot of people may be tossing up between Lamb and Matherson this weekend.

Very tough call considering we really don't know how many games they'll get and how the coaches see them in a role for the future.

It's an honest toss of the coin at this stage especailly with neither of them being the dominant half.

I felt you guys were the most appropriate to share this with.

Can somebody ban him already. I'm feeling harassed.

I felt honoured that you shared your dalliance with us. These blokes and their cheese eating and going to see 50 Shades of Grey again not so much.

I was reading a Knights forum last night & although Lamb is a great attacker his defense is below average. Made me re-think bringing him in without seeing how he goes first.

i would be surprised if tomorrow is anything but a 20+ point win to the roosters so i dont know where lamb will pull any points from.

Anyone else looking at there team and realising they dont have much more potential to make money unless more cows come around

Does he kick goals though? If he does then that's a good case for him to replace Hastings but otherwise Roosters aren't going to run out their starting side with no goal-kicker in it.

I was a little concerned until JFH pumped out a 70 and will make some much needed cash. Might have to trade out Gordon though as I personally don't see the point in leaving him as an NPR every week just for the byes. Then again doesn't he have a good average vs the Dogs, he could score 50 this week.
