What does ET score like when doing spell at Hooker? Still worth it?

Or it could mean diddly squat.

That's what I'm wondering - because if Bellamy is going to effectively play with a 3 man bench, that's got to help someone's minutes.

Exactly

sets wrote:so what was the shocking news?

George Burgess dropped.
Whitehead at centre

less shocking news that will impact cheapie selection
Kelly named (both Brian and Luke)
Suli not named
Curtis Scott not named
Winterstein named - but 3 other backs named in extended squad

Could mean Croft still starts in the halves lol

Who knows

there were 2 articles posted weeks ago. one said he was still struggling with injury, the other said he was fit and firing.

Based on trials most people thought he was good to go.

Initial thought is that it means someone wearing jersey 18 or higher will play this week.

he looked good in the charity shield.

not much has been said about him since (from the club or in the news).

JWallace or Sironen?

Winterstein the forward still a trap surely?

Gurgess becomes Sione for me probably in the 2RF

looks like some DPPs already updated based on the teams named. Noticed Cotric and Kaufusi in my squad have DPP. not sure on who else it applies to.

i suspect short term.

Greenwood, or maybe Grevsmuhl will get it eventually.

Whitehead not dpp yet?

I'm keeping Gurgess in my team for now... I'll wait and see which team they post on Thursday night before making any rash decisions

they are still pushing updates through....

Fanhub

Had Frank Winterstein in my team so I could fit Talakai in. Looked at his stats then instantly changed my mind. 27 points in 80 minutes those are Nathan Green numbers. Small pool of games but 32 points in 58 minutes with a try ain't good either.
At least Sironen averaged closer to 40 when he played big minutes and he's supposedly got a point to prove. Maybe they're both traps but rather have some Sironen so I have room to swap with Sione and Get Talakai in if Sironen sucks.

I certainly have concerns about his longer term job security

Haha stats can be sobering

I'm going to refresh Whitehead's player profile every 30 seconds for the next few hours.

Could be everyone's round 5 trade in coming up.
