Who has the to captain Ponga against the Doggies this week? I'm actually tempted..

Who would you leave out?

Surgess, Kikau, Cleary, Martin?

Kikau. Then Cleary IMO.

I have 1 spot for TPJ, Martin and Friend. Thoughts?

Martin.

Are people flicking Olive or give him one more week just incase something comes up for next week?

Give that spot to Martin mate.

Cheers for the Cleary shaming lads.

Anyone anyone have any thoughts on niukore? Starting 2RF eels season is over so he might be there all tear

Who to play out of Isaako and Holland?

Probably Holland, toss of a coin really.

Yeah Martin needs to play this week. He was on 25% ownership, and dropped to 15% before being named this week, wouldn't be surprised to see him go back up to 20%!

OK so sanity check on 2 spots out of Ese'ese, Surgess, TPJ and Friend. Thinking the first 2.

I'd stick with Isaako over Holland. If Holland was locked in to kick goals, then it would be a contest. But, I have no faith the Dogs will score any tries so Isaako all day.

Also wouldn't it be nice if the Titans and Panthers said to QLD and NSW respectively, hey guys since origin is decided can we please have Arrow and Cleary back as we still have seasons to play for!!

How good a kicker is Martin? Holland's pretty good so Martin would have to be really good to get the job. Not that the Dogs are going to score tries anyway, but they might get an early penalty goal, I suppose.

Anyone got any Lachlan Lewis stats from reserve grade?

They've played together once this year in NSW Cup (rd 3), and Martin kicked in that game

If I keep Fonua and one of my other ctr wfb doesn't play do i get my 18 man score? Have the position covered but not playing.

Nah, no way.  A high grade Achilles would be shit but still not as bad as an ACL.  Mine is low grade, not snapped, I can still walk and might only be a couple of weeks of rest, but even a full Achilles rupture is manageable once healed.  

An ACL is more likely to become recurrent as well verses an Achilles complete rupture.  You are much more likely to redo an ACL innocuously as opposed to a full Achilles rupture.

A few years ago now I did both my Achilles within 12 months of each other, not snapped just torn.
I was told at the time that it's better to snap them than it is to tear them, much quicker recovery time.

How long is Ma'u out for?

He'll start again when he comes back.

Holland surely not worth bringing in if he's not kicking??

You will get a 0.
