You have a suitable drink for the occasion?

Catching up...

People going overboard on Cleary? Nice if you have him, but without a late try (when Panthers should have scored the play before) he'd have scored a 60 following up a 35. A good pick and will score similar to DCE and Moses but "essential"? Recency bias much.

Robson, I wouldn't be surprised if he was out. Granville is trash now but he's experienced trash and NQ were completely rudderless with a Hammer/Clifford/Drink/Robson spine. I mean completely, under 11s rudderless. At least one of them has to be replaced by someone who's played a bit of NRL before.

Whoa with the u11s and rudderless, if I could of quick sniped Lolo Pre game, my lads would of taken out the Cowboys last week!

Storm as expected with Jacks and King dropping off the bench.

Not your under 11s, obviously mate. Couldn't see you picking anyone with Drinkwater's defence.

Its always 5pm somewhere

LOTS of Warriors changes...

Veteran Adam Blair has been moved from loose forward to start in the front row with Isaiah Papali'i, back in the squad after missing the last two matches, brought off the bench to start in Blair's position,

That sees Jamayne Taunoa-Brown switched to the interchange alongside Chanel Harris-Tavita, Agnatius Paasi and Josh Curran.

There's also a swap in the backline with Gerard Beale confirmed to start in the centres and Patrick Herbert shifted to the right wing.

Figured this one was likely to happen.

I don’t mind some attacking flair, but you are correct. No tackle, no play

JTB benched. Wow.

Not really benched is he mate? Just looking for way to mix up pack. Will likely still receive same minutes

Most likely. He rarely plays over 40 minutes anyway.

Looks a better impact player anyway IMO, get him in against tiring defenders. Won’t effect his fantasy output mate

Agree with this. Him and Rudolf similar output regardless of start or bench.

Don’t disagree with your point about people going overboard with Cleary. As a happy season long owner though he is following up 81 last week, 35 the first week back and still has a 70 point season average. I think he is the number 1 half and worthwhile IF people need a half for their team.
