because of previous games stats round 4 and round 11

h2h 2 game average

FRF:
McGuire (67) vs Tamou (44.5)

2RF
Gillett (69.5) vs Taumalolo (47.5)


Stats don't lie... but Hillary does

It is so much harder typing your name now but I like the way it looks.  Do you want it changed back or leave as is?

Happy birthday mate. Have a filthy one haha.

Happy barfday @f i l t h r i d d e n you magnificent creature you!

Happy birthday filth.

Hope all your dumpies were good.

As expected Manly sign Green. I wonder how that will impact on DCE kicking game and general Fantasy point scoring ability next year.

And who it opens the door for at Melbourne? Do you really take the number 1 jersey off Munster and give it to Slater just because, well, because he's Slater? Then give the 6 to Munster? Or do you keep Slater on the books for his final contracted year and utilise him as a mediator/tutor for Munster and hand the 6 to the Brodie Croft who you've just resigned?

Munster at 1 to me but they'll put Slater there for the 3 games he is not injured.

I just can't see the value in giving the jumper back to Billy the Kid. Sure, we all know who he is but Munster is clearly Melbournes future and to take him out of the one and either play him at 6 or drop him back to ressies to me simply damages all the good work they've done in developing and building him into the role this year.

Happy Bday Filth, is this a big one, 80th, 90th?

As for match day, I wanted to go Ponga also due to the "rookies always score" trend this year.
Instead I've had to go
Granville
Blair
Lolo (C)
JT (VC)
Bowen
Feldt

I missed one game last week so at this stage anything goes.

Also hasn't been mentioned on here but Austin and Hodgo are both playing tomorrow. Both came through fine in the captains run. Austin appeared to have a bit of strapping around the hand so not sure how that's going to effect him, Hodgo looked fine and didn't seem like he had any strapping from the photo's I saw.

He's the type of guy that would kick Munster in the face at training just to get his spot back.

NSW could learn a thing or two about that kind of competitiveness.

Apparently they are looking at Lolohea. Would be a good move for him.

I've got Parker and as captain, for the nostalgia. I reckon it's his last game

I think we're good, a lot of competitiveness for spots in the backline now.

The times they are a changin'

Hope you aren't including Raiders players in that group, Loz won't pick them, apparently they need big game experience (like Teddy, Moylan and Friz...)
