    Agree bit of healthy debate. Ultimately it's all subjective, never going to be as simple as in or out like a game of tennis (which still doesn't seem simple a lot of the time).

    Yeah Harris and Olo indeed. Alternative is probably just Tatola only. Or no trades and play both Sloan and Granville..

    Both very reasonable choices, paths. Need Olo to start. Not keen on Tatola here though.

    It really isn't the old "Sonny Bill special" style of shoulder charge.

    It's a weird one, I think IF (incredibly hypothetical) it's Payne Haas flying across and doing the same action, he probably gets a sin bin and a suspension.

    There seems to be more leniency with smaller guys, i.e. most fullbacks, doing that sort of tackle as long as it doesn't endanger the player (head high etc) - I personally don't have any issue with how it's ruled.

    The alternative is we coach our small attacking fullbacks to basically just let a try like that be scored, which I can't see benefits the game or anyone... because it's really the only way that Walsh stops that try and he should be doing all he can to stop the try - in a non-reckless way

    Agreed. Well put ET

    The ref on the field gets talked about a lot by disgruntled fans but for me it's always the bunker decisions that drive me nuts, they have the luxury of watching multiple replays in slow motion and still make some baffling calls. I can live with 99% of the calls the on-field ref makes as that's a whole lot harder.


    Couldn't agree more.

    To be fair, Freddie’s approach to selection is ‘Panthers + Fullbacks = NSW origin team’ so as far off as he should be, he might be factoring in Freddie being a cooked cunt, which should never be discounted.

    After this weeks score Coates will be ~300k with a high breakeven, cheaper than last year when everyone wanted him in their squad

    With a BE of 51 I am tempted to wait until I see if he is selected for Origin - he will still be a bargain at that price if not

    Seems as if Sanity has prevailed - not a hip drop at all

    Be great if NAS could be given 3 weeks for faking it

    MS potential cash out list (under 400k)

    - Suaalii (DPP and in a team that surely scores some tries at some point)
    - Olam (probably missed the boat on this one)
    - Taupau (Minutes watch while Carrigan, Haas and Capewell are at origin)
    - Coates (tends to score tries in bunches)
    - Hodgson (ignore his scores and just follow the minutes)
    - Saab (poor mans Coates in a worse team)

    I like it... he gets a rap over the knuckles and still keeps his fantasy points.

    I reckon he ripped the ball clean before Mam joined the tackle personally sunny I have been taking tips of albino

    Simpkin at base price will be useful during Origin if Koro is selected

    If Origin Koro misses 14 (likely not guaranteed with 2 day turnaround from Origin), 16, 19, 20 (likely not guaranteed with 2 day turnaround from Origin)

    Also Ponga at 402k and set to go below that should be a solid 18th/19th man

    The issue with the hip drop is every coach will be telling the players to lay down the moment they feel pressure on their legs. After it is reviewed they will also get a free interchange so unless they do something about it, it will ruin the game.

    On the shoulder charge do they need to rename it. Walsh wasn't exactly charging more about bracing to get bulldozed by olam and he just stuck his body in front of him.
