Bren wrote:Talakai is not being benched this week (nobody can say for sure in the future). Hymel Hunt will be out due to concussion. Burns to wing, Jennings to cover Hunt and AJ at FB. Simples.

Wacko has joined the chorus saying he will drop to interchange. Burns and Rennings at CTR it seems. Johnstone and Goodwin wings

I for one am passing on Moga, I didn't select him round one due to worrying about his durability and this heart thing is not convincing me I've underestimated him.

lol if Talakai is benched for defensive concerns after one game. Kevin Naqaima would be out of a job if coaches did that.
If he is benched I can't swap him for Moga but I can trade in Suli and then choose between him and Cotric to play in the CTR's. Hardly ideal but fuck it you know if Madge wants to be a dick I'll just have to adjust accordingly.

Matagi or moga?

Matagi played 66 games at 3 clubs over the past 4 years. In those 4 seasons he cracked 40 fantasy points only once, back in round 23, 2013.
His 4 season average sits just below the 22 point mark.

Being at a new club its entirely possible he'll get a new role and be able to become a consistent fantasy performer. But I am not convinced by just 1 good score, when there is so much history of fantasy irrelevance behind it.

Let me guess he said "Rumour has it" or he retweeted somebody else who said the exact same thing

This makes no sense to me because I'd assume C. Walker would play f/b which means Kelly keeps his place in the side. If I was coach I'd prefer to play Talakai over Kelly any time of the day. Kelly offers nothing.

Check out the video with Madge on the Rabbitohs website. He looks stressed as fuck. Can see it in his eyes and facial expressions. Poor bugger.

Problem with this sort of thing is it just takes one person to start a rumour, then a whole bunch of other people quote that rumour. Then all look at each other and think it must be true, when it can all feasibly come from just one guy talking crap.

A bit of citogenesis

All I know is that I will not trust the Souths lineup until 1 hour before kickoff.

Wacko just said "after do some digging mail is Talakai is starting in the bench"

It's not definitive but it's more smoke

How do we think stimson will go? He should get ok mins if the storms bench stays the same? Poor job security i know but im considering bringing him in for phythain so that i can move smat into the centers. This Talaki to the bench news has got me spooked so want to strenghten my center position rather than playing kelly, suli etc

Agree mate, purple monkey dishwasher

I think the rumours are too strong for it to be false news. Might have to start Cotric

if it is true then talakais minutes will almost be non-existent with turner sutton and surgess known to play 80 mins. it would be a straight swap to kelly for me, no other options really.

it shows balls to blood two rookie backs at once, in saying that this year has been kind to rookie backs so far.

Not sure if Renegades has hit the self destruct button but we may be seeing some fantasy refugees in here

so how about Musgrove,

Is he a better prospect in your view?

Do we really want any of those pullers on here as most of them carry on like 5 year kids. Mind you we could let them in & if they start playing up just ban them.

Maybe Random can see the future and knew that this place would need 4000 mods

Settle down there Pauline Hanson.

Everyone is welcome and if they act like a pork chop like Krump said there's 4,000 mods that can handle the situation.
