Keen for some thoughts on the following: was going to play Phythian as 3rd WFB but that clearly fell through. Liked Dugan pre-season but opted against spending that much down back (went double-Cam at hooker) but think Gutherson is the go with his byes. Considering this:

E. Taylor -> Moga (via S'Mat) or (NPR 2RF or FRF under $185k)
Phythian -> Gutherson

or

Take M. Gordon instead of Gutherson and have $202k for the NPR

Hope everyone is still still treading water after Rd1!

Saw a trailer for HZD at the cinema a week or so ago, looked awesome. Red dead 2 will get me back gaming.

Alot of maybes

Whats the go with TBO ?  And does 'cuban' feel like a forum father to anyone else ?

I havent seen the word 'oscillating' on here for more than 3 days.. it's absurd !

Archer wrote:Apparently Tapine is out for 3-4 weeks with Broken fingers. Paulo would be coming in for Priest (who's suspended for 1 week) so I'm not sure who's next in line for the bench spot. Could see Whitehead move back to the pack and someone else fill ctr or maybe Turner comes onto the bench or some other fwd. Either way its probably just one more reason to not be too hasty on judging any scores you see in that Raiders pack. Taylor will be back next week and hopefully Croker not long after that so there is going to be plenty of change and shuffling in the next few weeks.

First thing that comes to mind is that it makes it even better for papalii. I know he played 80 the other night anyway but i was doubting whether or not that was going to be the regular.

StuDogg101 wrote:This is how my team ran out Round 1:

Smith, Brailey
Fifita, James, FKaufusi (Ese'ese)
Gallen, ET, Siro, SMat (Yates, MCK)
SJ, Lamb, Elgey (Jacks)
Kelly, Talakai (Moga, Idris)
TTurbo, RTS, Hayne (Suli, Python)

$53k in the bank

Any obvious improvements? Other than a few reserve changes perhaps I don't think I can see too many obvious personnel changes. Rookie Stu would have gone Gallen -> JDB and Python -> another noob but Wise Stu is hesitant to rock the boat too much after just 1 week.
