Half the NRL are coming back from some sort of surgery. Bateman was coming off an injury and played 80. If they lose again this week, watch the 3 rooster fans blow up and go back to AFL.

Should have stated I copy pasted from nrlsupercoachtalk but it was Catfish (he won supercoach) who wrote it and was in his minutes article (good information). Will state source next time to provide some context around what was said, as information could be not correct. I wonder if presser you are watching doesn't cover everything?

Yes why would anyone lie.

Maybe next time say Catfish said this, so we know it's pure speculation.

I guess I will wait till late on to see if IPap gets the nod instead of him. Although every chance he could hold his spot if IPap gets the starting nod and a potential move for Blair to the front row.

Warriors do like a no frills lock. So Burr could potentially hold his spot.

hey! im a Roosters fan lol... and who the fk watches AFL?

I am playing Dylan brown over Keighran this week.

18th man will be Bateman if I trade him in
Otherwise Holland/Keighran at 17

White Lightning wrote:Would you upgrade Mahoney to Friend. With Salmon on the bench he will spell Mahoney & to hit 40's Mahoney has to play 80 mins. I did start with Mahoney hoping for 80 mins but it looks like this won't happen for a while & Mahoney did look like he was struggling in the 2nd half & needed a rest so he doesn't look ready for 80 mins just yet. Without the try he would of scored mid 30's & Friend will knock out at least 60's plus Friend is up against Manly so some attacking stats are a very good possibility for Friend. The trades I'm weighing up are:
Ofa out - Lawrie in
Mahoney out - Friend in

Thoughts & thanks.

I've seen this posted quite a bit - the point per minute thing for Sele. The trouble is he only played 17 minutes. I have no stats for this but Im almost certain for forwards that they get disproportionately high PPM at the beginning of their stints and then things taper out. To project Seles scoring based on the first 17 minutes of his game is problematic IMO.

As an example, got checkout the timeline for Napa's scoring last week. I believe he was on about 20 with less than 20 minutes played - we all know how that ended up.....
