Basically says he needs to step up in the absence of Pearce. Hopefully that means some kicking.

In 12 starts in the halves over the past 2 and a bit years (not counting the game he got injured in in round 3) Watson has kicked for a total of 144m.

Can people train the house down during a season? Because that's what the article is.

Tentatively going

Croker - Cogger
Rochow - Su’a

This is why I’m placing a fair amount of value in Cogger, not that the switch to 7 means too much...unless you are James Maloney

Will he play 80 mate do you think?

Ideally, Taga and Offa interchange for Thaiday and Lodge thje. Then at about 50-55 minutes McGuire moves to lock and Niko to Hooker with TPJ either moving to Prop or bench.

Well I'm talking about Griffin hopefully doing some kicking, not Watson. Obviously Cogger will be doing most of the kicking now but Griffin could also chip in with some and get an extra 5 points, which would be handy.

I reckon play 80 or at least 70+

I might go Rochow to him.

Lewis Brown anyone?

Would rather delete my team.

Niko will come on in the first half, probably around 25th min.

Theres really only 25 extra mins avail that mcguire will spend at 9. And if thats an even spread among middles then its not a big addition.

Probably assume that mcguire plays the first 40.. with thaiday first subbed at 20 mins, then lodge and tpj. The question is whether tpj subs before or after lodge.

Lodge played pretty decent mins last week so maybe bennett will stick to "less is more" minutes for TPJ

At this stage I am doing -

Havili > Fifita
Kennar > Sorenson

91K leftover. Thompson will be ripe next week or two with Isaako and TPJ will be a good sell in a month if he goes well while Macca is gone.
If Katoa isn't named next week I will surely HAVE to get rid of him.

I'd have thought Niko comes on at around 25 with McGuire moving to lock, then a second spell for TPJ later in the game. Around 40-45 minutes. I do say this as someone who sold him last week though.

Best thing to do is to hold TPJ and see how he is used this week. Will give a good indication going forward.

Brown out for another week feels bad...

I do say Ideally being an owner of TPJ and Sua loving to see 60 and 80 minutes respectively

Didn't realise Sua was 360k.

Is it still possible for him to average 35 points in this role?

Great that Cam Murray will make 70 tackles this week picking off the bronx 5 x 1 out hit ups every set

I'm tempted by Cogger but given he's leaving they may not have much loyalty to him and go back to Lamb pretty quickly.

I might have to go N Brown to Fifita. Holding him and Surgess is going to be killer. Saves me having to use TPJ as the upgrade. Hmm. Will have to think about it

I would love to see TPJ have a great game. I actually think he is much more of a lock, the way he runs and uses the field he seems more lockish than prop.
