First I shall say something about "80 minute gigs" that I say every year

Here is a list of forwards that played 80 minutes every game last season

end of list


McInnes went very close - he only missed 7 minutes of game time.

Ryan Hoffman, Isaah Yeo  subbed off only twice
Papalii also close - subbed off 4 times during the year, but played 70+ minutes every game

Of the only 4 forwards to average over 79 minutes last year - I have barely seen any of them in any teams on this site

People always say they care about 80 minute gigs, but then don't select players likely to get them (because deep down, everyone knows that points are more important than minutes)

So as for whether McQueen will get an 80 minute gig? Probably not, but I don't care. All he needs to do is start - his injury history last year has made him cheap enough to look at.

Now, he might not manage to start in first grade - so every chance I'll have to drop him from my team, but he is a guy who averaged 38 as starting 2nd rower in 2016, priced at 26.
He is great value if he becomes starting 2nd rower again

Every chance CLaw and McQueen both start, with ET at lock and Eisenhuth on the bench

Not my personal preference, but we have to wait to see what Cleary wants.
