    He's not played 80 mins hooker in Q Cup. Starting hooker last 3 played 30 67 62

    Might be controversial. But I don't consider McCullough relevant.

    Not because he isn't an okay player, but mostly because Cook and Smith, SOO, timings of byes etc. I mean he was always an option, but im not sure if this season he has ever been a good option. Maybe its bias against Broncos.


    He's had a couple of low scores due to injury, and backing up from origin. Take those away and his average is 53. Certainly he is relevant

    I've realised important trading order that keeps Katoa as emergency backup if Latrell rested next week. Had him sold for player tonight then realised I'm selling Kikau next week for Farah so if he ends up not playing sell him instead

    That said if Kikau does play no choice but to sell Katoa

    Alternatively I could trade Martin to Ponga when he comes back leaving Isaako in my EMG and I would have cover in every position

    wolfking wrote:Quick tip, any trades for later games you are unsure ofor especially like James and the whole Cordner thing, try and trade those players in from a bye player over someone like Harris or else you may not be able to reverse if it's too late. Bye players can be reversed up until the lockout of the last game. Like I went Griffin to James and Harris to SJ that way I won't get stuck.

    Also if you are captaining Smith tonight put your VC on another player tonight. Smith is my C but the VC is on Mann. Don't want to lock out another player later in the week just incase.

    Great tip.

    Player placement is irrelevant this week yeah?

    Have 4 players in the EMG so I get a hike after the last game hehe

    Anywhere on the bench would work better mainly for trading players from a different position to another, just in case.

    Was considering it. In EPL they call it benchwankery

    Also as wolf says I've had to reverse multiple trades already playing around after moving new player in to 13 after trading from different position player. Trade ins or potential trade outs best left in bench so no reversal issues

    Dont think he plays 80. Staggs or maybe glenn will give him a spell.

    Relevant in that he is your guy if you want the 4th best hooking option, when having more than two is arguably at the detriment of your team? obviously its easy to say this in hindsight.

    As soon as Smith retired from SOO, MAcca was never going to play a role around the byes, and wasn't scoring better than at least two other hookers who would. The only saving grace is that he is cheaper than the rest, but even then his potential to be relevant was limited.

    Yep. SJ(c) over here. I think the Warriors will be way too strong up the middle for the Panthers, and can see SJ getting a few TAs around the ruck.

    Took the gamble on SJ last week. I am a sucker for "He is due". Smith coming of 3 big scores so he is due for a sub 60. SJ coming off 2 lower scores so he is due for a 70+ game.

    This reminds me of 'bathwank' (dont ask) when someone wrote it like this to try and dodge a swear-filter:

    b@thwank

    still makes me smile and is forever stuck in my head

    The UK surely is the home of the best insults. I mean, Bell end is the ultimate.

    You only have to see the difference in sporting chants between the US, UK and AUS to see how uninspiring our insults are.

    - Boyd Cordner sat out of Training today to nurse his calf; however, he is confident he will play
    - Knights have confirmed Pearce is aiming for a RD18 return
    - Dugan is expected to play RD18
    - S'ua and TPJ both participated in a modified training session today. David Fifita is on standby for S'ua.
    - Also did not realise Sam Williams is in at half and Sezer on the bench
