Geez, bit harsh on Oates if that's the case, he was one of the better Game 1 performers. If they needed to fit Holmes in surely Oates could have gone to the bench - our forward stocks are ordinary anyway.

Not surprised about Sammy though, not offering much these days except an occasional cameo. Does that means Cooper or Felise are getting a run?

Am i wrong?

Nah you are right. I forgot holmes haha.

CM says Cooper is in which Im not sure is a great decision

If they want Munster, they'd keep Gagai on wing and play Munster at centre.

I expect the 3 forwards to be Hess Wallace (although suspension looms) and... maybe Kaufusi??

Slater as one of the backs. Holmes maybe given he's just played wing for Australia but I don't get the Oates dropping at all. Milf any chance as holding his place? I would expect him to be in front of Munster, but not sure there's room for either

Really... for Origin?

Ordinary.

Morgan is the utility, Milford gone for 4-6 weeks also.

If Felise gets a run I'll be pissed.

Oats getting dropped is harsh, he was solid game 1.

Don't worry Wolfking... I've got your back

We hairy fellas need to stick together!

Agree. I would pick one of Slater or Holmes to replace O'Neill. Then i would worry about the forwards where we lost the game

Thursday/Friday - 523 from 9(c)
Saturday/Sunday - 229 from 7

Just waiting for Graham to pull out so I get Hamptons 15 as an AE.

I think with O'Neill and Oats dropped, it either comes down to one of Munster or Holmes. Boyd to wing, Munster to centre, or if Holmes goes to the wing, Gagai to centre. I can see them wanting to keep Gagai on the wing though to be honest.

I think if Sam was given another shot, he'd put in, but if Cooper is going in over him, I don't think that's a great decision at all. Then what if Wallace doesn't beat the charge.

Felise probably 18th man for Wallace which is horseshit. If that's the case Felise can still play next weekend so let's hope Wallace gets off the charge.

Just shows bye planning sometimes is really a waste of time, no matter how much you try, it falls apart in front of your very eyes.

The CM is saying its Holmes. And yeah also CM saying Cooper to come in, I can't agree with that.

I agree that Thaiday needs another chance. Been a great servant and Hodges will have fired him up with his comments. He's not quite part of the 'past it' brigade imo, just had a quiet game one.

Ah shit I forgot all about him being gone. Of course

I hear they're not moving gagai since he's not a great defender for a centre. Boyd may be filling the centre spot instead so Holmes on the other wing

HOK, FRF, 2RF, HLF?? Is that how your reserves should look at the end. Was gonna go with an extra 2rf instead of a half but I think I need to get one in

I normally try to run with reserves like that to end the year so a one week injury or suspension to a starter doesn't mean an auto. EG you are only running 2 FRF in final 17 with 2 nuffies then Fifita gets a one game suspension you can't replace him

GreenMachine wrote:Anyone not going to fit a player or 3 they won't finish with in their final 17 who they'd ideally like?

For me there's 3;
Vaughan
Pearce
Rapana

I'm not too fussed about Taumololo. Have never really owned him and think I can cover his points elsewhere. The 3 above I'm not so confident

I said it somewhere earlier but i'm just going to pay the money for Rapana in r16, sure he'll probably produce some 20's and his price fluctuates but he has the booms. Lots of boom booms. And if you have him his booms just make you sit back and feel like a boss


Pearce I'm getting r17...I think, probably need to see my bank about a loan

GreenMachine wrote:

Has there been any actual confirmation about Milf, or is the 4-6 week thing still just from what was said on the night of the game?

At this stage it looks like I'll miss out on Pearce, Rapana, Taumalolo, Surgess and JTurbo. Would like them all but don't have the trades or cash after missing Ponga/Elliot/Hess/Edwards etc due to poor job security

Jarrod Wallace is looking at a 1-2 match suspension for a shoulder charge. If found guilty, would that rule him out of an Origin Jersey?
