Poor Seibold going from Cooky at hooker to McCullough running through treacle. Imagine what a quick 9 could do off the back of TPJ's charges. You'd think Niko woukd fit that bill at some point in the season.

I dont know much about nikos defence but i think hed go alright. Who do they put in the halves though?

Broncos need a solid half. I noticed to close out that game they don’t have a half to just get to the kicks and nail the opposition in their own half. They have to bank on flashy passes and lucky line breaks to close it out. If they had a solid half to calm the troop down and set the plays it would work wonders for them. Imagine if you’re a forward or an outside back and you are evens or down by 2 with 10 minutes left and you see niko and Milford dancing around the field like ballerinas you’d be in shambles as well.

I watched the pre season game against the titans and O’Sullivan looked the goods. He needs to get a run. Had a good pre season by all reports too.

+1

Mary confirms (what we already know) Dufty will step up for widdop.

Lam also in to start at half for cronk. (ROBBO said Cronk will be playing next week)

For anyone who doesn’t know, Manly home game against the Warriors on Saturday is actually in Christchurch. My mrs has captained Turbo this week.

Dragons coach Paul McGregor has confirmed that Gareth Widdop has re-injured the same shoulder as last year and doesn’t expect to see Gareth pull on the Dragons jersey again and has described it as a sad end to his Dragons career

That is a shame. He's a quality footballer

I'd rate him as a Hooker if he could handle the defensive work load

That's a very good point. What was Niko's defence like at Hooker?

Hmmm what do with Gillett?

Feels like I'll need to keep the 170k bank I have

Might bring in young Smith for Holland and grab Crichton next week

The widdop injury should atleast stop marys spine shuffling.

That's really disappointing for Widdop. He now has the problem that his shoulder will dislocate very easily when playing the more it dislocates. My old league mates shoulder was like Widdops & the joint was so loose his shoulder would pop out easily but he reckoned it didn't hurt & he would just pop it back in when we were playing.

Yea that will hurt like fuck when the arthritis sets in early! My shoulder is fucked already from not getting that same sort of thing down when I first had the problems with it! Agony at certain points now and I’ve only just turned 30

So the bench is now Tevaga, LAM, I. Papalii, Beale. Looks like Burr will move into the front row rotation.

Sorry for almost breaking Bird guys

Fantasy strikes again, traded out Rava and he scores decent, ah well it was always a toss up between him and Sivo who gets the chop. Let's just hope Sivo has a good game.

You do know many people are just as culpable. I got him too. What the heck was Milford up to I counted at least 4-5 times he ignored passing to Bird, stopping & running back in the other direction. It was as if he had himself in his fantasy team & just as he was about to pass he remembered his fantasy team & said to himself I need points so I'll be selfish & hog the ball.

Haha, I hear you. You could probably find about 5 from me. Gutted!

Yes the fantasy gods love putting the boot in.
