Teddy. Storm have been playing away from Munster's side the last few games and its been frustrating as hell as a Munster owner. Previous to that, he has been given the ball inside the 50 where he was able to rack up lots of cheap TB, teddy style, in the one play.

Teddy still scored well last game despite their side copping a flogging. If the video ref gave him one of the numerous tries that were disallowed, the scoring would have been much higher.

Deep down I always wanted to Teddy, just wanting some reassurance.

Cheers dude

I'm tossing up between Teddy and Nofo. People seem to think Teddy is exhausted so the origin campaign is only going to compound that. Nofo seems to always be eager to run the ball out from his own half and is a TB machine when he does.

Unless Milf gets snapped in half at origin, he should back up. As a Broncos man myself, we're all still confused at Bennett's decision to play both Bunji + Wadell last week considering how well Niko has been playing at half during Hunt's absense. Maybe the old man has finally gone senile

Seemed obvious to me. Waddell couldn't go 80 minutes and rotating with Niko was the best team option with a proven half in Benji available.  
I thought Benji played good in a beaten side to be honest.

Will probably play R13/R15/R18 at least providing an extra 2 games over Brailey. Brailey may have some extra cash to be made but if B.Smith can get on the field for 4 games he may even make 100K by the time R19 comes around.

Will give me a Smith / Smith pairing...

But it also gives cash to upgrade Whitehead to Lolo this week..

I suppose the Storm are first up so you know what you're getting yourself into but what if BSmith is named in #14? Might play zero minutes, might play a few.... what if he starts this round but is named in #14 in rounds 15 and 18 on the night?

What if he holds a place on the bench for the season, becomes an AE risk?
