Would anyone loop in Ilias over Mahoney's 25?

Averages say I should probably go Ilias

 yeah, but

Channel 9 reporting Roosters have signed Jaxson Paulo for 2023

Few thoughts on the matter

- finally gets to join a professional club after "developing" at what is basically an amateur club
- depends on the money but assuming he is signed as a Naiqama replacement on similar cash it's not terrible
- please keep him away from first grade

With no replacement for Aitken, I'm playing with 16 anyway.
(after being forced into Wishart's 2 a couple of weeks ago)

These last few rounds are always fun

+1, not even particularly close imo.

I was just thinking they were a pretty good match, second tier winger for a second tier club. Keep both away from first grade I say!

Lol the chookpen forums are a good place to be right now after all the carry on and name calling they gave him last week. Some on there still saying it’s not true and the link is false!

I find most forums are a reeking cesspool, comprised of the opinions of the very dregs of humanity..........oh

In my defense, I, nah i have no defense. Like the Broncos

I lol'ed at your lol at the time and sat back smugly thinking "Shaun Lane, it'll never last' and chuckling quietly....then I switched my attention to trading in Payne Haas for Ming

Burbo for Dpp

Thoughts about Lane.

People were dismissive of him, as he'd had purple patches in the past, but ultimately burned a lot of people. What was different this time such that he ascended into gun status?

Was it Matto being played through the middle? In the past he'd been the edge but was a change of role for Matto the key?

Related to the above, was it iPap being so dangerous on an edge that BA was forced to bring someone else through the middle to keep him out there?

Was it the way his "purple patch" was being scored? Lots of minutes and lots of base as opposed to the try scoring of the past?

Was it the opposite of above where Lane was getting more attacking stats than years past, and the Eels being a better and more consistent side helping that?

Was it Dylan Brown taking more responsibility in attack, a buy signal for his corresponding back rower?

What do you guys think, because in the future id like to buy and not miss this kind of opportunity.

Jack Bird

Jayden Sullivan
Jaydn Su'A
Jonathon Reuben
Josh McGuire
Joshua Coric
Josh Kerr

Notably, there are 4 Jack's, 3 Josh's and 3 Jaydn/Jayden/Jaiyden

Bonus tidbit; if you're thinking of naming your baby Jayden, other alternatives include Jaydan, Jaydyn, Jaydon, Jaydin, Jaden and any other variants you care to make up.

I teach a kid named Kaydn so I'm sure Jaydn is an option as well. Fuck vowels aye.
