Martin will probably still start with Klemmer back to the bench.

Also I was going to trade out matterson for Johnson in a few weeks anyway with Tupou back and the emergence of Radley.

Will just need to take the punt earlier now

Yeah, I'm sure there will be some surprise omissions this weekend...

get ready to push that reverse trades button on Thursday

Everyone's getting Johnson in then ?

an entire month out after being hit in the head with the football, concussions are funny.
Matterson owners still holding on?
I think I have to. The only thing that would make me feel sillier than buying a guy who averaged 70 only make ~120 points over 7 weeks would be to sell him and watch him return the next game and start averaging 70s again.

I'm going to wait I think. Can't take the risk of going in raw

First game back from injury I would wait & see. Plus with a b/e of 63 he'll be cheaper next week. I don't know if he'll resume goal kicking. Coming back from previous injuries he hasn't.

Smith C
Alavaro, Fifita
Tolo, Harris, Brown
A-rey, Townsend
Mitchell, Aitken
Dufty, Ponga, RTS

Cook, Arrow, Surgess, Eisenhuth

Cogger, Brimsom, Paskea, Hatherington

Only want to make two more trades next week and I'm done fuck the byes haha. Ill down grade Cogger to some nufty and upgrade Townsend to Johnson

No half backup for matto out, not sure what to do at this stage. Murray could become a half or just punt matto all together. Something to ponder

It was worth a try... but yes i concur.


Would u guys consider punting Surgess and Cwalker ?

No and No mate

Walker will be back and I’m sure we will see an uptick from Slammin’ Sam soon

I know everyone loves second rowers in the centres

Anyone grabbing Takairangi for whilst Moeroa is out? Might even get the spot longer term.

Actually thinking about brining in the milf

I'm loathe to punt any Souths players considering how well the team is going...but underperformers are always on the chopping block. I don't have Walker but I have Surgess and he's definitely put himself in the running for an upgrade over TPJ or Kikau

I don’t believe those team lists for a second.

Think will see a lot of origin players backup, but on the bench - in the case of the forwards.

Would not be too concerned if a TPJ owner. More of a worry with Martin as Tolman joins the pine

I was thinking between him and Johnson and theres a lot to like. Might end up bringing him instead.

Milf is playing origin and has the storm away. I might wait this week and trade in Brown instead

We were talking earlier about Kurt Mann being a half or a cenyre

In 2016, 2 starts at fullback, 11 on the wing

In 2017
7 starts in the halves
7 starts in at centre
2 starts at wing
5 appearances off the bench

They are both giving me the shites .. umming and ahhing all week i will be.

Do we think Mau will suffer further now or back to mauling at his best ?

If anyone was waiting on Uate to go big, its time to give up on that dream.

According to Zero Tackle he is off to Huddersfield mid season due to the salary cap pressure.

Not against the Titans I wouldn't. I have C. Walker in sc & I'm playing him because I think he'll get a good points haul.

Fuck I have no idea what the hell to do with TPJ and Su’A. With that broncos lineup, I can see TPJ splitting minutes with Thaiday, and Ofa splitting minutes with McGuire/Lodge. Let’s play around.

Lodge: 40 Thaiday: 45
Su’A: 80 Glenn: 60
McGuire: 60
Mago: 20 TPJ: 40 Ofa: 35-40

As for Martin with the benching, that’s some dumb shiiite
