Is Hunt the only change in the two teams?

I think I'll give SST a week. He wasn't the only rooster to suck, and minutes were good.

Agree. Also, know you were at the game but on the television non-fantasy wise SST and JWH looked a hell of a lot better than Napa and Tetevano.

yeh, was hoping for 50+, but in a game where he did nothing but tackle and kick, 44 is very encouraging, surely the Roosters won't be that dreadful in attack moving forward

50 min Kikau will eventually be a 30 min bench player.

Merrin to lichaa is the least points lost I feel

I’d like Hunt to come on for 15 mins not replacing Inglis and lose some extra cash because I’d like him in the ctrs at some point

My thoughts exactly. Writing this week off lol

surely if he wasn't fit to play out the game they wouldn't play him, and would they waste an interchange on swapping a centre? if i had to guess he's there as a plan B.

Ive been saying for a long time that carrying an outside back is a good idea with HIAs etc. If cook is good for 80, and the forwards are fit, then theres really no need for a 4th forward on the bench.. i like it. Smart coaching

Hindsight is a beautiful thing.

So $275k?

Thompson was on 28 until that last try.
People impressed by the way he played or just chasing the points?
If he fluffed it and finished sub 30, would everyone still be so eager?

291 with 9 Players to come including (C).

Feeling off the pace thanks to Katoa, Watson and having Godinet in my 17.

Might flip a coin between Harris and Whitehead.

Anyone else find it odd Latrell scored more than tupou. Guess that's the difference between tackle counts at centre and wing. I actually think he was far more lazy than last year. Geez I actually think Pearce made those roosters look good too, although Cronk was good

Not necessarily eager to bring him in, and i miss his massive price jump. But he is going to steadily increase in price at least the next four rounds. Assuming he doesn't have another big game. He will also be cheap enough to be a decent swap for Katoa for those strapped with cash.

Thompson played about as well as Isaacko but got the juicy try at the end. That’s how it works with wingers I guess. That being said, I’m rolling with winger Cotric in my centres lmao but I think he is a bit more of a livewire than 99% of the comp.

Agree. Was kinda hoping it would be Douehi though.

He was very good, busy and very elusive. And is backup fullback. No-one will get dropped on the back of that performance. Made another bust midfield late in game.

I have greggy so im trying to talk myself into thinking hunt isnt just an inglis cover..

Lolohea looked good at fullback. Think if Nofo does come back in a couple of weeks it'd be for Thompson or MWZ. Can Thompson play either wing?
