Suliasi Vunivalu (Storm/Reds)
Finlay Christie (Blues/All Blacks)
Blake Gibson (Blues/All Blacks)
Dalton Papalii (Blues/All Blacks)
Sam Nock (Blues)
TJ Faiane (Blues)
Braydon Ennor (Crusaders/All Blacks)

Needless to say we won the comp. (I wasn't on the field but I was in charge of organizing the piss up after the game).

I haven't played footy myself,  but one of my work mates played here in Newcastle with Tevita and the Mata'utia brothers, he was mates with Randall. He always laughed about Tevita's silly penalties and hot temperament, I guess some things never change.
My former GP was the team doctor for the Knights, I hardly go to the doctor so didn't get much of the inside scoop, luckily we have PYTM for that.
Aside from that I was pencilled in to go on a trip to Rwanda with some of the Eels players a few years back for work as some of my colleagues couldn't make it, but the trip ended up being postponed and I missed out on the opportunity.

Chewie, you are from Newcastle as well.
I knew there was a reason I liked you.

Been pretty consistent since round 4, bar one low min game, with a L3 average of 54.

Could do worse for 606k no?

i realise i. katoa is the enabler to get hopgood but katoa is getting better & better fantasy wise & i feel if you sell him at the end of the season you'll look back & he'll be a player you'll regret selling.

With Katoa and Nikorima at least one is surplus to requirements in R13 with SJ so looking at Katoa out this week

If we assume Milford remains on bench their value will be eroded

I’m probably looking at Katoa to Oloapu this week and Nikorima to VTW to free up money for post R13
