Very underated player was Fien in my opinion, always enjoyed him at the Warriors/Kiwis

Loved him at the Dragons too. Happy hes still kicking around.

I know Manu is good for your Fantasy team at 6. But in real life he is not the best option for the Roosters. They should be hoping thaty Sam Walker can fix whatever deficiency in his game saw him demoted, because otherwise they are going to struggle in the long term

Better attacker, better defender than Walker.

Golden boot winner, that needs more opportunities in attack to make Roosters a better team, the judging panel for Golden Boot don't care about fantasy, just a gun player, who would be playing fullback ahead of anyone except Teddy, and gets similar opportunities to run at 6.

You want your gun attacking players in your spine. Keary and Walker are similar players, don't need both there, just need one of them to steer them around the park and your best attacking weapons at 6 and 1 to run the attack.

Every chance Sipley goes back to his average of 27 minutes for 25 points from last season. I am picking him to get the Host and Couch trap of the week award.

Last week there were extra minutes available with Bullemor playing EDG, this week he is back on the bench.

Bullemor has had a low of 26 minutes off the bench this season.
Keppie has played at a minimum 33 minutes each week, often 40+
Lawton, if not getting injured can play big minutes, was really impressive as a tackle bot beast when playing Hooker earlier this year.

Paseka's role looks to be 45 minute prop.
Aoloiai is 45 minute lock.
Jurbo has only played under 80 minutes once this season, last week was an anomoly for any season.

So we have maybe 70 minutes to share between 4 bench forwards, where the other 3 could easily cover all 70 minutes.

Looks like a $485k blunder to me.

Could get a 65+ minute Cheese for $33k more!

Thank you Matt, Milcow & MyTV broke for all of your wise words, looks like grilled cheese for me

Agree, cynically you could say Haas benefits by being a marquee player and while they won’t acknowledge it, the impact on ticket sales and viewer numbers having a guy like that out for extended time means a reduction in the penalty.

Crossland on the bench smh

Crossland benched. Mann starts HK, Croker LK

I don't think he takes that much space on the team bus. Its 146 kilometers

Did you actually google maps this or is that kind of info just rollin’ around in your melon? Or is it just a very specific, Rabbitesque approximation?

On this argument, I love Manu as a player. I do think he would be better at fullback, but they have Teddy. I can see the appeal of getting him into 5/8 so he can run more.

That said, it probably shouldn't come at the expense of Walker. He is the future for the Roosters, even if he is young and makes dumb mistakes. I have never rated Keary as a player, I would much rather drop him and let Walker develop next to Manu with Ted out the back.

I googled the distance, I knew it wasn't far.

Fuck me, Crossland is trash but they looked even worse with Mann at hooker last week

Matto out! Carty starting

Ffs AOB! Ruining a perfectly good 40 point scorer

Hopefully he comes on and plays out the game

Matto out, absolute carnage in the MIDs!

Hmm, was going to trade out Carty... What to do, what to do...

Mando wrote:Matto out! Carty starting

Anyone heard why?

Should be good for a nice bump in minutes and scoring for Hopgood too.

Could we dare to dream of back to 85 point Hopgood in 70 minutes?

Shit, Eels didn't update on time again

Yeah, I had Carty out for Bird which I am second guessing. Might also just play IKat, and loop Crossland/KNik. What a great late mail

No reason given on the eels site for Matterson.
