I think leaving Taupau out makes sense based on his recent form but just brace yourself if he does get a decent score.

Lord Dale put his hand up, but lack of 80 minutes kept the band on Manners arm

The NRL FF numbers might be higher, those are from UL.

But the poor guy plays for Souths, you can't expect too much from him.

I'm pretty much 99% sold on Crichton as captain also. The fear is if Surgess plays and Sutton an 80 minute player, I hope Crichton doesn't become the new Fui and goes off then Surgess moves into second row like previous weeks. If Madge has learnt anything, he surely needs to see that this doesn't work and disrupts the team greatly. Leave your backrowers at 80 minutes keep Surgess at lock and rotate your forwards more often like you were doing in that mid season period, that worked for him and gives less opportunities for the Burgess boys to drop the ball.

Crichton has showed there is no reason to take him off, obvioulsy of course the injury but by the sounds of it, he desperately wants to play the full game for the rest of the year, and I think he's earned that right.

Post up his team and your team.

Also - just checking - it is solely overall honours in this league you care about. no H2H or anything.
And how close is 3rd place? No point beating this guy if 3rd place comes and gazumps you both

So, when exactly did your pack of poofters last win a premiership?

Crichton's injury is a non event. It's just about healed. Burgess probably won't play. Either Fui back to 2R and Graham comes in or Turner to lock. Musgrave to the bench.

3rd place is 128 points behind me. I mean still a concern I guess, 2nd place in our league last year somehow blew a 200 point lead in the run home. Must have been a Warriors fan or something. Anyway

If Whare for some reason comes back in, perhaps Peachy starts at lock??

Cheers brother. I'll be running the Peach regardless.
