Not from what I seen! I pushed SST last week and again in week. With Butcher popping up starting lock and 100k less then the talk with him and then Young. If SST maintains those minutes he’s the next Fotu.

Yeah, he made one sneaky comment about being interested, wasn't an indepth discussion.  He looked really good.  I've been burnt by him before, so reluctant to take the punt, and probably better paying slightly more for Taupau.

Just shows they are not even close to doing their job properly.

Butcher had a missed tackle that was removed in updates. He definitely missed a tackle.

The quality has definitely gone downhill. Not sure if its covid related, may be cutting costs. Maybe staff have taken pay cuts and hence don't care. I mean, its a shitty low paid job to begin with.

It was clearly called and replayed in the last few minutes of the first Half.  Nines stats have it down and their call has it happening in the 40th minute.

I get it's 2 points and I get I can be percieved as salty, but I very rarely complain about Stats.  I mean this wasn't a subjective TB or a 1 metre miscount on metres gained, it is a 100% objective stat that was literally called by commentators and the Ref.

With Latrell in back 5 is
Best Latrell
Pap Teddy Ponga
(Crichton Niu Averillo HTF Farnworth Wiliame) lol

I don't think you need any more backs mate.

I thought a fair bit about Jai Field.  Three of his four 80 minute games last year were when Corman was out and alongside Bhunt who was doing all the kicking.  

The other game was alongside Darren Nicholls, who seemed like a genuine 7.  I assume this was when Corman and Bhunt went into Origin.

If he gets half the KM's he can add to his base stats that look around the early to mid 20's.  

I assume Guth will goal kick, but Field also goal kicked in a couple of those Dragons games.  

So a lot of potential upside that could see him move to mid 30's/40ish, but also none of that may happen end he may stay in the 20's.

I don’t looked those cheaper options mate.

I would go Sironen or take a punt on Hetherington.

DarkKnight wrote:Teeth out of those options I think I would go McIntyre or Jollife since they could become useable down the track should they be needed. Then out of those two McIntyre leaves you with more cash and his centre availability is a nice bonus. It’s weird talking about him as he has the same first and last name as me. Tripped me out when I first saw him available a couple of years ago in dream team. Back then I used him as a cash out as good luck.

You're still going to have to use their stats. And if you think you can do your own stats you'll find out how easy it is for people to make mistakes (and that you no longer have any free time at all)

He has been the one I've been leaning towards most the time, before making that post. I think he probably is the safest bet. 3K cheaper than Croker too - bargain time.

filthridden wrote:So apparently I missed a good game last night?

Without reading the posts my commentary will be

Omg I can't believe Papenhuyzen didn't get his tackle break!
Storm only won because the ref let them, (something to do with set restarts)
Tedesco is amazing
I can't believe that player didn't get a LBA for that!
Haha, nailed it buying Nat Butcher!
