Late Mail: A Bunnies backline reshuffle will see Alex Johnston move to the wing, Braidon Burns and Siosifa Talakai make way. Cody Walker will shift to the back, John Sutton into the halves and Jason Clark likely elevated to the starting side. Aaron Gray and Tyrell Fuimaono will also start out wide.


How does this even work? If Walker goes back, AJ to wing for Burns, Goodwin other wing, HHunt centre, Gray centre, surely Fuimaono just takes Cameron Murray's bench spot or starts depending on where Surgess/Turner/Clark play.

For me given Sutton goes to half, I think it guarantees Chricton big 70+ minutes as the big minute second rower. Does Surgess/Turner start on the edge or will Fuimaono?

Does it make more sense to trade out Talakai for more money than Idris(which could potentially mean letting rot forever) or hope for Talakai to come back

Chance of Idris playing during byes: 0%

Chance of Talakai playing during byes: >0%

Depends what you'd be doing with the extra cash. But I'd be holding Talakai over Idris if I could.

It's funny how when you look at other peoples teams on here they always look better than our own. Some of the guys here are building some insanely nice teams and climbing the rankings quickly, Warroirs and Onthebeatpete
are a couple off the top of my head.

I'm a bit paranoid with my team at the moment, more red dots are appearing than I would like but hopefully I can stay there abouts with some luck.

Is he worth it now

Your team is great mate. Have you just benched Ponga and played Hayne? You have five red dots mate. Two happened just now due to injury (Rennings and Idris) and Ponga has served you well (I moved him on for Munster this week), Papalli you started with (probably not worth wasting a trade on) and Fogerty serves a purpose so not as bad as being stuck with TRD/Abbey etc although Abbey probably gets a game or 2 over origin.

I have Leota = Papalli, DEdwards = Rennings, Idris = Idris, and Fogerty>TRD because he is DPP. The thing that annoys me the most is I started with Leota and Papalli when I could have easily had Ese Ese, AElliot, Tetevano, PKaufusi etc.
although ese ese is the only one that has really done anything until recently (AElliot).

I feel as though having the correct back 5 after origin will make or break the season. e.g Mansour, Rapana, Teddy, Nofo, CWalker, Croker, Tturbo, RTS, DWalker, Peachey whoever just goes boom and averages 60 from round 20 onwards. Feel teams draws have a huge part to play and teams like the Panthers/Sea Eagles/Raiders could really score well.

Aaron Gray will also start out wide, with centre/back-rower Tyrell Fuimaono in line for a debut from the bench.

They must be reading this forum!

Also:

Penrith’s Te Maire Martin is expected to be kept in reserve grade this week as Anthony Griffin says “there’s no agenda to try and squeeze him out” of the club.

Wacko’s Whisper:  Boom rookie Corey Harawira-Naera is a chance to start in place of fellow Kiwi James Fisher-Harris.
