See what they did to the cowboys last week? They put pressure on Morgan and Asiata ended up having more kms.

Perhaps they put some pressure on Pearce which could benefit Mann.


On the contrary... The week before Asiata didn't kick at all and Morgan had a shit  kicking game due to pressure. So it might take a week for Pearce getting raped by JWH to give Mann some decent KMs.

Morgan has been targeted all season because he's the only real decent option for kicking. Knights have more options with Mann & Ponga being able to kick fine so you don't want to rely on him for KMs. His main source of points will be tackles and possibly TBs. Should get rather high tackles this week with Latrell running at him (potential for MT, but then potential for TBs as Latrell can have occasional defensive misread)

I feel like I'm reading too much into a player that's permanently going to be in my EMG except for R16 if he makes it that long (Munster, ARey in HLFs) but if flops I've wasted a trade when I could pick up Dearden risk-free. I was looking at moving Carty onto Dearden after R12 but if Tapine is starting next week I might move Carty onto Tapine for R12 (and in R13 Tapine faces Tigers who he scored 84 and 100 last year with 4 tries and will be below 500k)

He had scores last year of 62, 36, 51 without any tries at 5/8 for Dragons. Only attacking stat was TA and then 7, 3 and 4 TBs respectively with fairly low KM (63, 43, 9)

Yes definitely potential there. I just think he's worth another look. Would be a good cash out option post rd 12 if he does hold down his spot.

Bit of a cop out this TPJ “rejecting” of origin football.

Mate, you were millions. Focus on getting 50mins at your own club first

Belated RIP to big Quentin
Was real hayday stuff for me with him and Lomax up top.

May be for some people but Luke Keary was born in QLD and wanted desperately to represent them. Should be allowed I believe. I was born in QLD, moved to NSW at a young age because my Dad got a job transfer. Eventually came back but in my teens but I never changed allegiances because of circumstances outside of my control.

Anyway, bring on SOO, the natives are restless.

The NRL has an official set of criteria to determine eligibility, and, as far as I know, it is the NRL who makes the final decision on which State a player is eligible to play for.

I have forgotten the details, but there is a reason why the NRL deemed Keary a NSW player, and while it might be disappointing for him, the rules are the rules, and the umpire's decision is final.

Depends on the player,the position, how much game time they get during origin and how long before they have to back up. Also if they picked up any little niggles or not, and how important it is for their team to win games. Roosters/Souths are more likely to rest players than say Tigers/Knights are


I think Cook will get at least one rest

Missed games from last year( other than Origin rounds)

Cook Rnd 14 Friday game
Cleary 18 Friday
Maloney 18 Friday
Crichton 14 Saturday
Tedesco 18 Sunday
Mitchell 18 Sunday
Arrow 18 Sunday
Morgan 14 Saturday then missed rest of the season after injury in Rnd 15

Important thing to take out is they will probably miss a round extra. 2 days rest or 4 days rest probably doesn't make a difference.

Bench consists of Tolman, Kikau, Lawrie, Sivo.
EMG has Carty, Young, Whitbread, Martin.

Happy with that bench?? Or would you make changes?

You would feel like you came from QLD because you were actually born there. Ie, state of origin.

Can't agree with that, it's not easy to define at all. But when ur 8,9 or 10 or easily led and influenced. Ur not a hard nosed  player who has spent years playing footy in Nsw and when it 17, 18, 20 surely I'd feel Nsw. Anyway, don't wanna hijack this thread.

awesome, feel like i'm the only person that held him, mostly because i already had a small fortunes of cash in the bank to make my shithouse team slightly less shithouse, but that's some very welcome news.

If it's looking a bit tight, can just go Taupau or Arrow.to Bateman. Rather have him over one of them.

I'm definitely finding a way to get him straight in I think. I don't want to play one of Xerri/Lomax/Garrick after round 12.

Round 13 it is then. Wooooo
