    Yeah but before i would have needed to find money to upgrade Strange to get a gun to partner Fog.

    Now I just sideways trade Fog to get a gun to partner Strange.

    Has Weekes kicked the ball in reserves? Is it the same as kicking in the NRL or is a different technique needed. 

    Has only kicked the ball maybe twice according to footystats

    I think he had a TA off a kick in the trials. So his strike rate is amazing. Straight in.

    Haha I just don’t get filled with the warm fuzzies when I bring him in.

    Im thinking itll be much like the trails with strange at 'halfback' on the right and weekes sitting out on the left not doing much

    I reckon they both score 55+ every week. Ricky is going to look like a legend here with an 18 year old, a 19 year old and a 22 year old in the spine, if they start winning.

    Yeah I've decided to pass for now. No TA recorded in either trial, so must've been a disallowed try or just unrecorded. Strange with 198 and 221 KM to Weekes 95 and 81. Henderson came on and took over kicking in the first trial.

    So, apparently Cheese was ill last week, possibly explaining minutes.

    Told the James Graham podcast that "I was sick last week and didn't train all week. I thought I might have had Covid but knew I'd be ruled out of the game if I tested positive so didn't take a test." That's rugby league, folks.

    *facepalm*

    Did James cut him off before he could say he just did a couple of lines before the game and that got him through?

    I've had him for a good month or so now. Even as a Warriors guy, he is looking GASSED, and it's only round 7. He plays too many minutes, our bench is small 9/10 times (Looks a bit bigger this week though). He needs help in the middle, can't just be him and Barnett with a little bit of Ale

    I know Tohu is the sensible play but he usually gets injured as soon as I pick him up…….might look at Bateman again 🤓

    Thanks Finchy

    Edit: tried to give you an upvote but missed 🥺 where’s @mulvy when you need him

    AFB's minutes jumped from Rd 8 onwards last year too. One of those forwards who takes a few rounds to get the match fitness up maybe.
