Minutes for Sele perhaps. Those that took the punt on JFH doing well too.

Panfers depth starting to be a concern.

Is there an injury cloud over Sione Katoa of the Panthers??

Egan of interest if so I guess

Apparently Kikau due to play this week so who knows what the team make-up will be. Another tlt wait & see.

A big in for them. Hopefully reduced minutes to start for a price drop. He was in my team in preseason before the injury.

True, true.

I think picking Xerri is a strategy, moreso than a "POD". Xerri is top of most peoples list if he actually gets game time, picking him to start the season is a strategic selection. (Don't mention the fkn dirty word around here).

One of the mistakes I made last season was to kill off one of my bench spots too early, especially now we have a 21 man squad. Ideally you want to have all your players generating cash. Starting with a non-playing potential cash-cow like Xerri on the bench is a bit of a gamble. He might get a run this week, but for how long? will it be worth it?

I remember Kikau changing the game in the panthers favour so many times when coming onto the field last season, great impact player

I'm disappointed that Matt talked a big POD strategy in pre-season, but only picked one in the end.

I started with a number of PODs, Bateman when he was 6%, Katoa at 1.5%, Burns was 6%, Holland 6%, Xerri when he wasn't starting (drink). With the exception of Holland, all have been Gold!

100% mate. Even if you could start from scratch no, you still wouldn't even come close to putting a team together that till does require a huge amount of money to be generated to get anywhere near a final 17/18. Killing off a spot that could be used to generate cash is a flawed strategy IMO.

I think it's only right that it can only be Sherry. #sherry4xerri

Holland **shudders**

Like the smell of bourbon the morning after a heavy night on the sauce

Did someone say heavy night on the sauce?

Burns and Holland don't really count. Whilst their ownership was under 10 % a lot of serious players had him. Whereas less serious players might have had lolo for example even though a high percentage ownership.

Raiders injury update (website) : Tapine will only miss 1 to 2 weeks. No surgery.

Great news, now just need Bateman to get some attacking stats the next couple of weeks while everyone has decided he isn't worth it in 2RF position.

You may all salute my bravery/stupidity at this moment please.

*pauses for fanfare*

I think I'm doing the same. More from stubbornness (sp?) though

Put him down for any time try scorer this week.
