    Bit of theatrics, really. I find it annoying. I am really sick of this being news again, day after day.

    But it means the Dragons could name JDB on Tuesday... if they are willing to stand behind him. Didn't the Dragons decide not to support him in federal court? Or was that just rumours.
    From what I've seen, dragons didn't back him with this one.

    Going by Matt Gillett's latest comments at training I am leaning more towards TPJ either not playing round 1/being benched.

    I don't think McCullough is a must have, but I think having Mahoney as your primary hooker is a recipe for trouble. Hooker is a prime scoring position and forgoing so many 50+ options leaves you needing to spend so many trades and cash getting them in later. Almost certainly you will want 2 of Cook, Smith, Friend, McCullough in your final team (probably Cook and Smith)

    Mahoney will outscore at least one of Cook or Smith this year, but the problem is that everyone will have him so it will not make a difference

    Probably need to stay away from him, although he is someone who could score just as well from the bench.

    Hard to work out the rotations though. If Pangai came off the bench, he'd be the first interchange.. maybe after 23 to 25 mins. In reality, he could come on after 25 and play out the game, if Siebold wanted to save an interchange.

    I am looking forward to the "Staggs may spend some time at hooker" article in the next few days lol

    Has anyone considered Jack Wighton at all? He is fairly cheap and an unknown quantity in the halves.

    Still only has 12% ownership, with most likely Smith named on the bench at TLT scaring some off. May peak at 15% ownership.

    3hrs ago you're quoting Seibold from yesterday's artical putting your house on TPJ playing. Now he's a snowball chance in hell because of a throw a line Gillett said.

    Then I looked into his stats

    Games without SJ:
    36, 34, 26, 23, 44, 34

    An average of 32, actually below his season average and current price point.

    Carry on, gentlemen.
    Have him in my current draft.

    A lot can happen in a few hours mate, I'm sure you realize that. TPJ is still every chance of starting round 1. It's all a bit of a puzzle honestly. Seibold was quoted saying he and the medical team are confident he will play, while on the other hand Gillett's latest comments are making it seem like he will start at lock round 1. Hell TPJ could start in the backrow, who knows.

    I think all Bronco forwards are an avoid honestly. I'm avoiding all personally. There's a lot of uncertainty regarding the rotation. More could be made clear by TLT of course.

    TPJ bench actually makes a fair bit of sense (until Haas comes back), when we have Fifita and Su'A very capable on the right edge, and as Siebold already said, are both "in our best 17".

    Without Haas, our bench props are pretty thin (Fensom and rookie), so bringing TPJ on after 20/25 mins would keep the middle rolling. I'm quite keen on the idea after more thought.

You don’t go from being a premiership winning, kicking, playmaker, to spectator. Green did stuff all. I’m not touching SJ.

    If Townsend is that good he's in my team lol

    I'd be ok with it until Haas is back but not sure I like the idea of Gillett staying at lock for an extended period of time. I'd rather have him protecting one of our halves over a TPJ/Fifita.

    My problem with this kind of analysis is that the baseline is flawed.

    He spends all year training and playing as SJ's puppet, so naturally when the puppet master is not there he's performing an un-natural new role. Now his role is completely different yet we want to judge him by the past.
