No point worrying about that sort of stuff now.  Might make me reconsider my captaincy option though.

Yeah just figured I'd mention it in case anyone was going to captain Hunt.

I was already going to captain Cleary anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me so much.

Team lists turned out pretty well for me with Fermor starting, Asi back and SJ named. Means I can take a bit more of a gamble and should* have a full 21 next week

Taumalolo>McInnes
Niu>Host

Leaves 1 trade and this bunch

Cook
Carrigan, Host
McInnes, Matterson, Murray
Cleary, DCE
Asi, Croker
Teddy, Ponga, Papy

SJ, DCE, RTS, Fermor/Siro

Siro/Fermor, Koroisau, Mofo, Farnworth

Whoops missed that, I'm an idiot lol. Fixed.

Im not sure the Dragons have anyone left to pick in the forwards.

I think he will drop off the bench for Blacker.

Yep looking at the 18-21 there is not much left.

What would be an acceptable score from Herbie that you would take over playing Cotric?

wolfking wrote:Christ, Matterson scores are insane.

Leaning towards Matterson and Ofa/Wallace.  His concussions are a red flag though at this late stage.  

I like Twal but not sure on minutes or if he can get the scoring from the start of the year back up there.

Yeah the concussions are scaring me away from Matto. I'm most likely going Welch and Barnett, though I could go Twal instead of Barnett, only thing is the minutes, as you said.

Interested to see what happens with Barnett once the Knights stop getting injured. At the moment he is a bit like Jwal in his first season at the Titans putting up monsters due to playing extra minutes each week as players fall to pieces around him

I don't get how concussions are a concern for Matto now but they weren't earlier in the year. It's not like him missing a month recently was the first we'd all heard of his issues.

I think it's no more risky to get Matto now than it was at any point of his recent career.

They've always been a concern for me, and I never bought him at any point this year

Your team is fine BTW.

For me too.

If I could swing it, I'd be more inclined to get him now with only 5 weeks to get thru, than earlier when it was 10/15/whatever.

Scraped in with 17 available (playing Siro & Ofa). Planning to save trades and just swap Lolo to Haas next week then worry about who to play in 17/18 gong forward.

This has been fun and seems like it's about to get funner....and that.

Jamal Hopoate to Erin Clark doesn't stand up in hindsight does it?

Are the dragons really going to play 3 hookers?

Don't see the value in having a bench hooker with 2 in the starting 13.

Agree with above.. brittain probably drops out. If he is in the 17, he prob plays zero minutes.

Only 17 available this week, so benchwankery will be in effect

Same bar McIntyre getting a miraculous return. Don't know if I can handle watching my rank drop so much before loops are added on Sunday.

Still scares me too much to do it haha.

Ill have 17 by making one trade.

Looks like 3 permanent red dots in my side with HTF joining Hetho and Wiliame.

Thought maybe staggs' fend would have put aitken out for the season but no such luck

I had a look at Klemmer's scoring, and it seems to be fairly consistent whether or not Saifiti plays.

His biggest scores have come from games where the hookers have gotten injured

So.... every week?
