I thought Bunty was just covering for Bodene until he gained more match fitness? Notice Bodene played more minutes in round 2 compared to round 1. Also thought Bunty couldn't properly handle playing the full 80 just yet either, his defense looking a bit sloppy in the last 10-15 of each game visually (not sure how that reflected stats wise)

Also how long is Matulino away from joining the team again, or was he on the outer?

Both round one and two had injuries do bodene likely forced to play more minutes to some extent.

May not ever get 80 again if Bunty is around.

It was always going to happen once Bodene was fit enough to start. Bunty was just a fill-in.

Guess i don't rate bodene as highly as you guys.

Just as well i didn't pull the trigger on bunty last week.

Not sure if trading Manu to hess is the way to go

Matulino knee got infected after surgery so won't be back until round 10 or something.

Was only a matter of time before bunty was named on bench. Hoffman was the best forward on the paddock round 1 and b Thompson adds more punch on attack than bunty.

Who would you bring in out of Norman, SJ or ARey?

I'm tending toward Norman because I had him in my team all pre-season but got spooked by his injury in the 9's.

Manu, as in Joseph Manu? He will get a start this week for ferguson

What is with your avatar? Did Welshy have something to do with this?

Normz got that great bye schedule. So does Aeynolds but that'd rely on him not being picked for NSW and he's had a fair few injury lay-offs since last year. SJ well that rollercoaster is riding high now but the lows will come soon enough.

To me it's a choice between SJ & Norman. I think SJ has the edge with the goal kicking but Norman is just as good.

In form Bodene is a best

The last couple of years SJ has become very consistent fantasy wise. He is no longer a rollercoaster.

If we had some sort of FB page, wouldnt that reduce the traffic in the forums significantly ?

So some selection questions (til team lists come out and probably screw everything):

1) Play Suli or TRD?
2) Play Cotric, Moga or Kelly?
3) 3 reserves from Brailey, Faufusi, Musgrove, Sironen, (+any of the CTR/WFB listed above not picked)?

So Iapalli not even in the 21, any reason I should keep him around? Thinking of turning him into Hess via Yates
