I suppose we are used to "common sense" not being a priority in regards to Rugby League.

TS's can be awarded in the field of play, best example I can remember was Tedesco's try save on Radradra in round 4

Oh ok, yeah, wasn't sure. I thought LS or another pseudo-official source had stated they had to be in goal.

Second guessing myself regarding bringing in Lamb
Knights are going to get eaten alive today.

Think I'll still go ahead with it though, trading out for Cullen. Seems worth it.

That's assuming Lamb will get all the KM..

Mataora definitely out.

Guess I always wanted to play Brock Lamb in my 17 anyway.

Mataora only still around for round 12 coverage, might have to go sooner than that

Same predicament as me

Pretty much any tackle less than 2 metres out is "try saving" so they need some sort of rule around it.

I don't care what it is as along as it is applied consistently

I dont understand how people have to play Lamb in their 17? The rest of your squad must be STACKED!

With Mataora out, Lamb or JSaifiti for last reserve?

If I didn't reserve Lamb I'd have a choice between Gutherson, Aloiai (Who could make way for E Taylor anyway) or Kodi for a last reserve. Not exactly a smorgasbord of quality reserves to choose from.
I mean Lamb got 46 in a side beaten by 38 points, I'd at least say he's good for a ton of kick metres and the forwards will probably all be targeting Cogger in defence.

There are only 3 games left this weekend? Who would you be playing if someone was a late withdrawal today?

Well I just traded Lamb in, on the app.

I took a couple of screenshots too in case something happens

None of my players are in doubt.

I assume non-answering of the question means you have someone rubbish.

Out of BLaw, Gavet, Guth and Lamb as last reserve, I'm feeling pretty good about my choice of Lamb. Has the potential to go big if the Knights can jag some attacking plays for once.

Sharks aren't quite at the top echelon level yet, don't think they'll smash the Knights too badly today.

They're going to skull fuck us.

For people carrying tedesco, mannering and JDB playing someone like Blaw, lamb or JFH in your 17 will suffice. I got lucky with JFH he would have got 34 from 50 minutes had segy not gt his head knock and gone back on. Playing someone like Gutherson in your centres/fullback is just the same risk. Hoping Lamb will go well today

Well with JDB out I played Norman as my 4th reserve. Just stating a fact. After that I had players like Gordon, JFH or Lamb as a last resort. Definitely nowhere near my 17 like others.
