He should be starting in the back row even if/when Surgess moves to lock. Should I really be worried about his injury risk?

Yes.
I say that as a Ben Henry owner.

Sean Penn and Tom Cruise put me off.

Dustin Hoffman maybe?!

Maybe you were thinking of Sean Penn in "I am Sam."

Great film but one of the most depressing movies you'll ever watch.
Also one of the best soundtracks with loads of contemporary artists covering The Beatles.

Sean Penn's best movie was Fast Times at Ridgemont High

I have found the culprit. I tried to change my name to this but it was taken. At first I thought wtf at the start but at least it stops 1567 teams named "dogs of war". So tagataese gets another run this year

Nah not my team name. I tried it also. I'm just nicknaming it that. But my philosophy was as many guns as possible then just fill with 130k players. I'm @ 449 with 7 to play including captain.

6-8 weeks for Seggy.

He actually played plenty of lock last year and on Thursday night in Parramatta, when Kodi Nikorima came on and played hooker, Macca shifted to lock again. He's very capable, and I myself will be selecting Macca over Peats as a replacement for Lichaa (unless it looks as if Garvey is going to play 80 mins at hooker for 6+ weeks).

I think the Panthers will play Wallace at hooker Peachy 5/8 and Martin on the bench. Garvey will start for the dogs but I think they'll have to have a utility on the bench not sure he could get through 80

What's par for this week? With all the downgrades last night I'm thinking I'll be lucky to get much more than 750 (unless captain cam goes large)

I've had a few drinks.

Just one hour until kick off against the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Head Coach Trent Robinson has made one key change to the line-up.

Daniel Tupou has been forced out of the side with a slight ankle injury, leaving Joe Burgess to line-up in his place on the left wing.

Mitchell Frei will drop off the bench and the rest of the side is unchanged.

The final line-up:

1. Blake Ferguson
19. Joe Burgess
3. Dale Copley
4. Shaun Kenny-Dowall
5. Latrell Mitchell

Final team: No late changes for the Rabbitohs, who are 1-17. Kirisome Auva'a and Nathan Brown drop off the extended interchange.

Auvaa to Hunt, or back myself with expecting Auvaa to make the squad down the track?

That's a tough one. I ended up putting both into my centres, as I expected to see Auva'a named there in round 1 and I haven't seen much of Hunt to form an opinion on how good he can be. I guess McGuire sees something in Hunt during the pre-season so you suppose the position is his to lose.

I just went Auva'a to Mata'uita, as I plan on holding Benry for a while and would like a warm body as cover.

Which mata'utai?

-2 for a MT seems harsh. Should be -1 IMO. Anybody agree or refute?

From watching the game it looked like the heat really got to him near the end when atleast 4 of those missed tackles were.

So not sure if you were even thinking about it but stick with him, he looked really good apart from that.
