Yeah I'm not TOO worried. He'll make less run metres but should still make a million tackles??

Won’t take as many hit ups.

But I’m gonna play Jazz over Verrills.

Jazz will play 80 Jazz will play 80 JAZZ WILL PLAY 80 CCMMOOONNNN

Tevaga and Fainu possibly playing limited mins made me happy. Downvote me owners

I think he plays 80 looking at that bench.

If I had him I'd be playing him. Potential for some extra missed tackles maybe but yeah, if he has a spell it won't be for long.

Fuckin would love to know if Coates is playing or not first, but that ain't gonna happen.

Any opinions on this lads?

My Eliminator opponent in VSDT just changed his captain to Teddy. Is it foolish not to match him? Must think I have him beat?

We all know I'm pretty conservative at this game so surprise, surprise - I say keep your forward cover. You'd be gutted if it cost you.

I'd do the loop bro. The reward outweighs the risk but I guess it depends how you prefer to play lol

Tough one mate. I think I'd play it safe and have cover personally. Would rather not loop but ensure I had 17 starters.

Yeah, do it. As you said, Fifita and Haas are in no doubt, both will definitely play. Of   course, they could do a hammy in warmup, but isnt worth worrying about to thay extent, imo

Bear in mind the two loops ive done in the last two weeks have hurt me by a total of about 50 points, so im sort of also in the "just play ya best 17" boat, haha

Have you got a Captain Loop in play? Who is the C on for you now?

Historically, Jazz doesn't score as well at hooker. Will lose his run metres.

Start of the week he had it on Cook. Before the game last night he changed it to Haas so I did too. Now it's on Teddy. I might check his NPRs now you mention it. Unfortunately can't loop myself cuz I have too many playing NPRs? Or can I move the C to any old humpty?

It's Matterson, Haas (c), Smith, Munster, Nikora, Johnson, Fifita, Cook (vc) and Teddy vs Haas, TTrbo (vc), DCE, JFH, Tamou, Cook, Teddy (c), DBrown and Ma'u

I have 7 trades left so can use two if needed (eg if Nikora is out)

Evidence? Only stats I can find are from 2016. He's a better player now but 5 starts at hooker, ave 45 from 54 minutes. Similar ppm to his lock stats, and he's likely to play more than 54 I'd have thought.

Thanks lads.

I wouldn’t be panicking if I owned Jazz. I reckon most likely he plays 20-25 at hooker, then the rest of the game at lock. Gets 50 instead of 58.

What I’d be more concerned about is when Luke is back there’s now a clear path for Burr 13, Tevaga 14 in a few weeks. But when you bought him you were expected Harris back by then anyway.

I left him out this week before this news... Probably play him since whoever I've left out the last few weeks has hit 100 in SC

7 trades is insane! You can't 100% say that Ponga is in the WFB position with match ups can you? If he has to play Brown that's huge for you.

That was either knocked on or penalty for hands on the ball. The ref must've seen that and no way it was play on.
