Got him, hand him for a month. Was a good pick up.

Ma’u is fantastic! He will probably keep his minutes too once Brown returns.

He's usually an 80 min edge player so Brown return should make no difference

Mau always great for that origin period always pick him up around this time in sc if I'm short on numbers

Roosters Daniel Tupou set to return from pectoral injury this weekend

Not a good weekend for Dylan Walker, broken cheekbone and now sister has been charged with man slaughter

RFM > Taupau
Havili > Watson

Watson is more of a stepping stone. Can produce some very good scores and had yet to have a bust since he has been back. Will keep him till Rd17 and move him on

Taupau is what he is.

Thoughts?

I’m not going to do it but Watson looks like a really solid option. I’m not sold on Taupau but he does have he advantage of being available and uneffected throughout Origin.

In my simple mind they seem pretty straight forward. A lot of other targets have question marks over this period. These two do not and they have recent history of scoring well.

Yep, looks like you are right. Fucking amateur hour.

Did Scott get bonus points for belting Walker?

No injury for Capewell? Just got subbed in the forward rotation?

Just Hav - DCE for me but his lack of GK probably means he is more than a few points under where he is currently priced. 

DCE avg minus GK this year is 47.5  . Think I've got that right.

Would make him the 6th best half option on that avg. Hodkinson you cock pot, will he disappear?

Is Cleary or Materson the better option or just go all out for SJ?

I hope so, but maybe not until Walker is back....

Welshy, did you see that The Friz's brother, Shannon, made the All Blacks squad?

I like Cleary, I will buy him in a couple of weeks. Who is SJ

Yeah mate you’re right. Watson looks eager to show he can lead a team around and Taupau is a set and forget forward.

Yes mate the bastards doing it so we can't steal him 

Love his Jerry Collins comparisons as well, he used to come into one of my locals, it was an absolute shit hole as well but he loved it, boys used to love winding him up and he would bite like fuck. Fucking legend was Jerry

RIP Jerry Collins

Re taupau. Manly are real thin on their bench due to injuries, and as a result hes playing 60 minutes a game of late. If that keeps up, he should keep producing the big scores. I wanted to get him last week, but opted to spend less on crichton.

Awesome! If he plays anything like big Jerry, we have another beast on our hands! Has been gunning it for the Highlanders, look forward to him getting a crack in the Black Jumper.

If he is half as good as Jerry over his career he will make for an outstanding All Black 6!!
