Personally I hope he doesn’t delve too far down that dark path, I like Matt’s approach because he has the balls to make picks I wouldn’t. His gamble on Katoa last season was something I could never do and it actually looked like it was going to work after 4 rounds. Differing approaches make you question your own and break up the group think, and he is always a solid contributor.

Didn’t see a single game of nines. Logged on here, saw some comments about Drinkwater and made my valuable contribution. Ive liked him for a few years. Now he’s cracked the HB spot, which is where he played all his juniors, he’s a lock in for great value at FB.

So, get fucked, you peanut.

If he only knew...:

Thats what I normally try to do as well, finding that all my teams are right on the edge for money though. Likely that TLT throws up more rookies than expected though and some hopeful picks wont come through (Leilua, Guerra, Capewell, Koloamatangi, Hess), so may end up there anyway.

Or Is the cookie cutter coming around to Mattnz?

If I recall correctly, Milch posted that he had him on his radar and you called him out saying he was lying. And I gotta say, he seems like a trustworthy cow. But here we are in the same situation and you are beating your chest about the integrity of your word. You got a bad case of the dish-em-outs-but-can’t-take-it-backs. It’s almost embarrassing having to tell an old timer this, but try to toughen up a bit eh.

Well said, couldn't agree more. Obviously razzing him.  I like the different talk, just like you said about CS. And MS and MTB were talking about learning from previous foibles earlier and growing, seems like that's what matt's doing. Love it. I personally typed myself two pages of A4 of notes near the end of last in an effort to avoid repeated mistakes.

Now, having seen a bit of the nines, here’s my observations.

1. Drinkwater is a must. I’d hoped he might slip under the radar.
2. Brimson isn’t. He’ll average 35.
3. Billy Walters will be a great cash cow. He’ll start off the bench, but it they don’t get Grant (which I think they still will...we’ll know by Tuesday), he’ll be playing some hooker. Benji will be making way anyway soon. He’s pretty much cooked. Mbye will not be playing hooker.
4. McInnes will be fine for R1. Looked more like a cork to me and precautionary.
5. Nothing else relevant. Nines mean nothing, except injuries and a look at some good kids coming through. Don’t get too excited.

Apart from the nines.
* Merrin at lock will be good value.
* Williams is pretty much assured the Sharks lock spot. It’s been his for 2 years, just waiting on Gallen to retire.
* Tatola is the only Souths prop I’d be interested in. He has been playing some 2nd row at training and will get more minutes this year. Bennett likes a 50 minute/ 30 minute mix. The Knight talk is just that. He’ll be playing prop. Bennett at his best. We have a dearth of 2nd row forwards. Koala is a beast. Plus Sele just signed and he hasn’t had a real shot at an edge anywhere yet. He’ll be a good’un.
*koro and Levi are the best value of the new club hookers. Guaranteed big minutes. Both a good price.

There you have it. Do with it as you please.

But he’s a cat when it gets tough. He stormed on to the scene, but he’s one dimensional, got found out and goes hiding. Anyone can find space in nines footy. Disregard everting you saw I reckon.

I already consider myself more successful than you. I have seen all your cards.
Quality post above though.

How good is this, Rabs? The footy season is now officially back!
