    Like I said, could have a similar run of high scoring games if he's in the side for a decent run.

    I'd also suggest that reserve grade is a wee way below first grade level and if he's averaging 45 there I can't imagine he'll be equal or higher when he moves up.
    I note there are no "big hit" or chasing-someone-down-in-defence highlights. If Bennett is starting Brenko Lee ahead of this guy, he may not be as good as you want him to be.

    Last year was his first season of playing league, a union convert, huge wraps. Will get his opportunity, he is the strike weapon that Dolphins are missing.

    Don't even think he's next in line atm. When aitken sat out the final trial it was Niu vs Lee for the other centre spot. An injury to Aitken/Lee probably sees Niu centre and Rob Jennings wing.

    Mitch Rein was once described as the next Cam Smith.
    Karl Filiga as the next SBW.

    I'm just saying temper your expectations. I have no doubt he will get his opportunity.

    Just caught the highlights on the dolphins game, Lemuele actually played left edge last after K Brom went to the bench. Thats a definite trade in for me next week especially with Kafusi out.

    Think ill be doing Teddy to Turbo and Blore to Lemuele next week

    Storm win 28-16. Would've gone higher, but no Munster.

    Same 5 as Chewie in this one I think. Grant, Katoa, Loiero, Warbrick and Boyd. None in the second game though..

    Yes please

    But can’t see it

    Would settle for Fifita doing f-all for 58 and Boyd getting his 40 in kick metres and tackles

    I think Warbrick first NRL try today

    Storm revved up after last week.
    Titans hot and cold.

    Storm by 13+.

    Tui Olam and Loiero among the try scorers.

    Few selection changes next week for Titans

    Hey mate, run out of trades yet? Razz

    I think Storm dominate this one. 32-14. Pezet to announce himself in first grade. Katoa with a brace.

    Calling him better then Talakai, get your hand off it Matt.

    As is always the case, 2nd grade players get a pretty big dose of humble pie when they come to the NRL.

    Tino, Boyd, Welch, Katoa, Loiero, Warbrick in this one. I’ll happily take 240 points. Will be very surprised though
