Most just worry about the next score the trade in gets and bases the trade success on that next score that player gets, when in reality you don't know until weeks down the line.

The Latrell Turbo run is mental, that was a genrational season from Turbo, Latrell doesn't have the desire to churn out performances like that over a long period.

You don't get the base Turbo offers in terms of RM, so it's all reliant on tries and TAs, and he will get shut out of games

I don't think he'll quite reach the heights that Turbo did last year, but I still think he'll go on a big run. He's always had the talent to do it, and he seems to finally have the right attitude, he's been a lot more of a leader recently than he has in the past. Add to that the fact that right now, Souths have one attacking play, and that's down the left side with Walker, Latrell and AJ

Will he be a captaincy option every week and score regular tons? No, not really, I don't think we'll ever see the insanity of last year again.

PS: I've backed off captaining him this week, I'll just stick with Cook who should also benefit from the Storm being shit but makes a gazillion tackles anyway.

Not enough to be worth worrying about. If Souths are up by a lot then Cook may get a 5 minute rest at the end but usually he plays 80 no matter what the bench utility does

Not getting a joke is my specialty

Hate not having 1 trade available with Pappy out and Manu a possible out, Suli injured.

Can you afford 100k more for David Fifita? If not Butcher is a fine pick too, but Fifita is Fifita and when he's actually played 80 on the edge this year, he's averaged 61
