Lakey’s Teams Analysis – Round 7
A couple of big guns are returning in round 7 (myself not included) but the biggest SuperCoach conundrum that should be on all non-owners minds is how exactly do we get in Nicho Hynes.
This Weeks Bye Team/s
Wests Tigers
Awful news for Adam Doueihi ($522.5k - 5/8 - BE 56) with the club fearful that he's torn his ACL yet again in the Tigers Easter Monday loss. Thoughts are with him as he undertakes another lengthy rehab process.
THE DOLPHINS vs SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS
Thursday, 7.50pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
The Dolphins
1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow 2. Jamayne Isaako 3. Euan Aitken 4. Brenko Lee 5. Robert Jennings 6. Kodi Nikorima 7. Isaiya Katoa 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Jeremy Marshall-King 10. Herman Ese'ese 11. Kenny Bromwich 12. Connelly Lemuelu 13. Tom Gilbert
Bench: 14. JJ Collins 15. Mark Nicholls 16. Ray Stone 17. Kurt Donoghoe
Reserves: 18. Poasa Faamausili 19. Mason Teague 20. Edrick Lee 21. Jack Bostock 22. Valynce Te Whare
Teams Analysis:
Thankfully for the Dolphins, Kodi Nikorima ($265.1k - 5/8/HOK - BE 66) escaped suspension after his lifting tackle report.
The main change for the fledgling franchise is the return of Jesse Bromwich ($443.5k - FRF - BE 54) to the pack and Jarrod Wallace missing the week after suffering a category 1 head knock. And Robert Jennings ($267.7k - CTW) earns a club debut one week after Edrick Lee did, who he's now replacing, one week after Jack Bostock did. Are they just running a wing carousel until Tesi Niu is back?
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow ($549.8k - FLB/CTW - BE 9) has been brilliant this year but the Bunnies have kept opposing fullbacks to 70 points or less this year.
South Sydney Rabbitohs
1. Latrell Mitchell 2. Alex Johnston 3. Isaiah Tass 4. Campbell Graham 5. Izaac Tu’itupou Thompson 6. Cody Walker 7. Lachlan Ilias 8. Jai Arrow 9. Damien Cook 10. Thomas Burgess 11. Keaon Koloamatangi 12. Jacob Host 13. Cameron Murray
Bench: 14. Jed Cartwright 15. Daniel Suluka-Fifita 16. Davvy Moale 17. Hame Sele
Reserves: 18. Taane Milne 19. Blake Taaffe 20. Ben Lovett 21. Michael Chee Kam 22. Tallis Duncan
Teams Analysis:
Alex Johnston ($582.4k - CTW - BE 101) is a big in for the Bunnies and he'll take up his standard spot on the left wing. Taane Milne drops out but only as far as the extended reserves as Izack Thompson ($358k - CTW - BE 13) is being watched after the Jacob Preston "hip drop" of last week.
Jai Arrow ($586.5k - 2RF - BE 96) returns from injury to start at prop.
Can Latrell Mitchell ($722.4k - FLB - BE 13) do it again this week? Having just posted a three-try and 146 masterclass, owners will be eager to see him up against the Dolphins who've allowed 70, 67, 84 and 98 to fullbacks over the past month. Same can be said for Cody Walker ($665.2k - 5/8 - BE 0) managers as the top scoring 5/8 of 2020 has found form again, with a 3RA of 96 PPG.
CRONULLA-SUTHERLAND SHARKS vs SYDNEY ROOSTERS
Friday, 6.00pm, PointsBet Stadium, Sydney
Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks
1. William Kennedy 2. Sione Katoa 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Siosifa Talakai 5. Ronaldo Mulitalo 6. Matt Moylan 7. Nicho Hynes 8. Royce Hunt 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Braden Hamlin-Uele 11. Briton Nikora 12. Teig Wilton 13. Cameron McInnes
Bench: 14. Wade Graham 15. Jack Williams 16. Oregon Kaufusi 17. Thomas Hazelton
Reserves: 18. Braydon Trindall 19. Connor Tracey 20. Tuku Hau Tapuha 21. Mawene Hiroti 22. Jayden Berrell
Teams Analysis:
As mentioned earlier, the weeks big SuperCoach conundrum is all around Nicho Hynes ($902.6k - HFB - BE 0). For those with Doueihi, it's an easy decision albeit not an easy move to make. It will still cost around $400k so hopefully you've got some bank on your side. Although, this game against the Roosters (allowing 45 PPG to right halves) might prove a bit more difficult for the great man, if he's even susceptible to such mortal things.
Tody Rudolf and Dale Finucane are both out for the Sharks through injury and suspension respectively. Cam McInnes ($473.9k - 2RF - BE 68) will be starting lock to cover Finucane, while Royce Hunt ($334.7k - FRF - BE 56) starts at prop. Wade Graham ($365.6k - 2RF - BE 71) is back from suspension too and takes up a spot on the bench. Teig Wilton ($563.2k - 2RF - BE 54) owners breathe a sigh of relief.
Sydney Roosters
1. James Tedesco 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Joseph Suaalii 4. Joseph Manu 5. Jaxson Paulo 6. Luke Keary 7. Sam Walker 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 9. Brandon Smith 10. Lindsay Collins 11. Egan Butcher 12. Nat Butcher 13. Victor Radley
Bench: 14. Drew Hutchison 15. Naufahu Whyte 16. Terrell May 17. Matthew Lodge
Reserves: 18. Corey Allan 19. Siua Wong 20. Paul Momirovski 21. Jake Turpin 22. Elie El Zakhem
Teams Analysis:
James Tedesco ($676.8k - FLB - BE 130) returns after missing the round 6 loss to Melbourne in concussion protocols. As a result, Joey Manu ($716.2k - CTW - BE 144) goes to his usual right centre position, Drew Hutchison ($256.6k - 5/8/2RF - BE -1) drops to the bench in place of Corey Allan.
Teddy looks dangerous every time he's around the ball but it's not converting to SuperCoach points as of yet. And coming up against the Sharks is a tough matchup to overcome that. CNK's 74 in round 5 was the top score against this club to date. However, Cronulla has given up scores of 85, 83, 73, 34 and 117 to right halves this season. Is Sammy Walker ($581k - HFB - BE 59) the man to target?
Matt Lodge ($516.2k - FRF) will also make his season debut off the bench, replacing Fletcher Baker who's out with concussion. There's plenty of it this year.
MANLY-WARRINGAH SEA EAGLES vs MELBOURNE STORM
Friday, 8.00pm, 4 Pines Park, Sydney
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles
1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Jason Saab 3. Brad Parker 4. Morgan Harper 5. Ray Tuaimalo-Vaega 6. Cooper Johns 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Taniela Paseka 9. Lachlan Croker 10. Jake Trbojevic 11. Haumole Olakau'atu 12. Kelma Tuilagi 13. Josh Aloiai
Bench: 14. Kaeo Weekes 15. Ethan Bullemor 16. Aaron Woods 17. Toafofoa Sipley
Reserves: 18. Sean Keppie 19. Samuela Fainu 20. Ben Condon 21. Gordon Chan Kum Tong 22. Josh Schuster
Teams Analysis:
A big out for both Manly and SuperCoaches this weekend is Reuben Garrick. He failed his HIA against Penrith and will miss this weekend as a result. Already without Tolutau Koula, the Sea Eagles are reaching into the depths of the centre / wing barrel so Raymond Vaega ($243.1k - CTW - BE 25) gets the temporary fill in spot. Garrick's 8 points from Saturday afternoon, and new BE of xxx, means he's in for some huge price drops once he does return. He'll bottom-out coming into round 10 when Manly face the Broncos in a "home game" at Magic Round. What a scam.
And for those with Sean Keppie ($345.5k - 2RF/FRF - BE 35) in their sides, he's been dropped to the extendeds.
Meanwhile, eyes will be firmly on Tom Trbojevic ($680.5k - FLB - BE 81) with news surfacing that he was suffering back spasms against the Panthers. He was clearly hampered by the issue and only managed a score of 27 (with a try). If things persist for Tommy it could be a long Friday night for owners.
Josh Schuster ($241.2k - 5/8/2RF - BE -10) hasn't been named to start for Manly but is on the extended bench. You'd be a brave SuperCoach to back him in this early in the week after he'd been pulled the previous two rounds but maybe it's a reverse psychology and opposite to the past two rounds, so he'll come in?
Melbourne Storm
1. Cameron Munster 2. William Warbrick 3. Reimis Smith 4. Justin Olam 5. Xavier Coates 6. Jonah Pezet 7. Jahrome Hughes 8. Tui Kamikamica 9. Harry Grant 10. Christian Welch 11. Trent Loiero 12. Eliesa Katoa 13. Josh King
Bench: 14. Bronson Garlick 15. Alec MacDonald 16. Tom Eisenhuth 17. Tariq Sims
Reserves: 18. Grant Anderson 19. Aaron Pene 20. Tyran Wishart 21. Sualauvi Faalogo 22. Jack Howarth
Teams Analysis:
A big change out of Melbourne for this week with Nick Meaney dropping out (assuming for injury as he's been outstanding), Cam Munster ($820.5k - 5/8 - BE 69) moves to fullback and Jonah Pezet ($296.1k - HFB - BE -2) gets another start at five-eight.
Munster reminded everyone why he's the best 5/8 in SuperCoach last weekend with his first ton of the season. He's now got an average of 83 PPG and a low of 65. He's just a weapon at this game, and after what Cleary did to Manly last week, he's a prime VC option at the least.
In other Storm news, Ryan Papenhuyzen is running again as he builds towards a mid-year comeback.
THE WARRIORS vs NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS
Saturday, 3:00pm, Mt Smart Stadium, Auckland
Warriors
1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 2. Edward Kosi 3. Viliami Vailea 4. Adam Pompey 5. Marcelo Montoya 6. Dylan Walker 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Freddy Lussick 10. Bunty Afoa 11. Jackson Ford 12. Bayley Sironen 13. Tohu Harris
Bench: 14. Taine Tuaupiki 15. Josh Curran 16. Jazz Tevaga 17. Tom Ale
Reserves: 18. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 20. Ronald Volkman 21. Demitric Sifakula 22. Ali Leiataua 23. Zyon Maiu'u
Teams Analysis:
The main SuperCoach news is that Wayde Egan will miss this weekends clash due to the compulsory 11-day concussion protocol, thanks to a Glasgow kiss from teammate Tom Ale ($252.2.1k - FRF - BE -6). It's Egan's second concussion of the young season so there's a chance he's held out for longer than the standard period.
Tohu Harris ($636k - 2RF/FRF - BE 103) gets named again and should actually take the field this week as he was close to running out last round. But it's far from a certainty so ensure you've got backup on hand just in case.
Te Maire Martin suffered a lower leg fracture which will keep him out for a while so Dylan Walker ($435.5k - CTW/2RF - BE 67) steps up to start alongside Shaun Johnson ($687.2k - HFB - BE 13). And speaking of SJ, the man has had a career resurgence in 2023. He's got a 3RA of 97 and is heading towards elite territory once again. But of Hynes, Cleary and SJ, he's still the odd man out.....for now.
Nth Queensland Cowboys
1. Scott Drinkwater 2. Kyle Feldt 3. Valentine Holmes 4. Peta Hiku 5. Murray Taulagi 6. Tom Dearden 7. Chad Townsend 8. Mitchell Dunn 9. Reece Robson 10. Reuben Cotter 11. Coen Hess 12. Jeremiah Nanai 13. Jason Taumalolo
Bench: 14. Jake Granville 15. Tomas Chester 16. Jamayne Taunoa-Brown 17. Riley Price
Reserves: 18. Jack Gosiewski 19. Ben Hampton 20. Kulikefu Finefeuiaki 21. Brendan Elliot 22. Taniela Sadrugu
Teams Analysis:
Only one injury concern up North with Griffin Neame having to be hospitalised with a throat injury over the weekend. He'll miss the next few months. Jeremiah Nanai ($621.7k - 2RF - BE 76) is back from suspension, and will be a straight swap for Neame in the starting side. Murray Tuilagi ($514.4k - CTW - BE 80) also makes an early return from injury.
While the Cowboys have reverted to strugglers once more, Val Holmes ($668.1k - CTW - BE 61) is still getting it done week in; week out. He's hit at least 60 in all but one game so far which is as consistent as it comes.
NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS vs PENRITH PANTHERS
Saturday, 5.30pm, McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle
Newcastle Knights
1. Lachlan Miller 2. Dominic Young 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Greg Marzhew 6. Tyson Gamble 7. Jackson Hastings 8. Daniel Saifiti 9. Phoenix Crossland 10. Leo Thompson 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Lachlan Fitzgibbon 13. Mathew Croker
Bench: 14. Kurt Mann 15. Jack Hetherington 16. Jack Johns 17. Brodie Jones
Reserves: 18. Enari Tuala 19. Dylan Lucas 20. Simi Sasagi 21. Hymel Hunt 22. Ryan Rivett
Teams Analysis:
The Knights are reeling at the news that Jayden Brailey has suffered an ACL injury and will now miss the rest of the season. Brailey has consistently been one of the Knights best but just can't stay on the park. His replacement/s will be Kurt Mann ($475.7k - 2RF - BE 74) and Phoenix Crossland ($274.2k - 5/8/HFB - BE 28) who will share duties there. It cannot be understated how big of a loss this is.
In more positive news (I guess), Tyson Gamble ($478.3k - 5/8/HFB - BE 61) returns at five-eighth.
And in things I haven't been able to say for the past decade, the Knights backs are on fire lately. As it stands, you could conceivably have two or three players in your CTW and be running very well this year. If I had to single any one guy out though it would have to be Lachie Miller ($781.6k - CTW/FLB - BE 72). This kid is a stud and a fullback available in the CTW for SuperCoach. There's arguments to be made that he's in must-have status right now, especially if he keeps the kicking.
Penrith Panthers
1. Dylan Edwards 2. Sunia Turuva 3. Izack Tago 4. Stephen Crichton 5. Brian To'o 6. Jarome Luai 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Moses Leota 9. Mitch Kenny 10. Matt Eisenhuth 11. Scott Sorensen 12. Zac Hosking 13. Isaah Yeo
Bench: 14. Soni Luke 15. Lindsay Smith 16. Spencer Leniu 17. Jaeman Salmon
Reserves: 18. Tyrone Peachey 19. Jack Cogger 20. Liam Martin 21. Luke Garner 22. Thomas Jenkins
Teams Analysis:
Zac Hosking ($556.8k - 2RF - BE 33) owners were holding their collective breaths as both Liam Martin ($558.8k - 2RF - BE 39) and Luke Garner ($423.9k - 2RF - BE 51) have been due to return this week. Fortunately, Hosking seems to have done enough to hold his position on an edge, although unfortunately that could still change. Both Garner and Martin have been named in the extended reserves and could be brought up at any time pre-game. It's sweaty-crack times for SuperCoaches.
Those Coaches who traded out Nathan Cleary ($872.5k - HFB - BE -9) for Nicho two weeks ago are kicking themselves now. Cleary outscored Hynes by 22 the week those trades were happening and then dropped 158 points while Hynes was sipping cocktails on the bye. Brutal.
Also, you just have to love Dylan Edwards ($731.8k - FLB - BE 9).
GOLD COAST TITANS vs BRISBANE BRONCOS
Saturday 7.35pm, Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast
Gold Coast Titans
1. Jayden Campbell 2. Alofiana Khan-Pereira 3. Brian Kelly 4. Aaron Schoupp 5. Phillip Sami 6. Kieran Foran 7. Tanah Boyd 8. Moeaki Fotuaika 9. Chris Randall 10. Tino Fa'asuamaleaui 11. David Fifita 12. Joe Stimson 13. Isaac Liu
Bench: 14. Kruise Leeming 15. Erin Clark 16. Jo Vuna 17. Iszac Fa'asumaleaui
Reserves: 18. Klese Haas 19. Jojo Fifita 20. Thomas Mikaele 21. Thomas Weaver 22. Sam McIntyre
Teams Analysis:
Despite Toby Sexton's heroics against the Dragons on Sunday afternoon, he's been dropped from the side for the returning Kieran Foran ($399.2k - 5/8 - BE 56). Tanah Boyd ($408.1k - HFB/HOK - BE 27) survives.
Jojo Fifita is also reportedly fit, but has been unable to get back into the side after impressive outings from the Titans back 5 in recent weeks.
Speaking of Fifita, big David Fifita ($694.9k - 2RF - BE 45) has been on a roll in 2023. He has one sub-50 game this season (a 49 against Melbourne on that sweltering afternoon game) and has otherwise scored 69 or more. He's back.
Brisbane Broncos
1. Reece Walsh 2. Jesse Arthars 3. Kotoni Staggs 4. Herbie Farnworth 5. Selwyn Cobbo 6. Ezra Mam 7. Adam Reynolds 8. Corey Jensen 9. Billy Walters 10. Payne Haas 11. Kurt Capewell 12. Jordan Riki 13. Patrick Carrigan
Bench: 14. Cory Paix 15. Keenan Palasia 16. Kobe Hetherington 17. Martin Taupau
Reserves: 18. Jordan Pereira 19. Brendan Piakura 20. Brendan Frei 21. Jock Madden 22. Xavier Willison
Teams Analysis:
The Bronx not only suffered their first loss of the year on Saturday night, but will also be without starting prop Tom Flegler for the week after he was KO'd by a stray elbow after 24 minutes. He's in the concussion protocols. Corey Jensen ($387.8k - FRF - BE 54) starts in his place.
It really is the year of the fullback, and not many have shone brighter than ol' sexy eyes Reece Walsh ($758k - FLB - BE 52). In a weird, everyone wins type scenario, Walsh is better at Brisbane than he ever was for the Warriors, the Broncos have become a top team with him, and the Warriors are one of the best teams since he left. Go figure.
CANBERRA RAIDERS vs St. GEORGE-ILLAWARRA DRAGONS
Sunday, 2.00pm, GIO Stadium, Canberra
Canberra Raiders
1. Sebastian Kris 2. Nick Cotric 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Matthew Timoko 5. Albert Hopoate 6. Jack Wighton 7. Jamal Fogarty 8. Josh Papali'i 9. Zac Woolford 10. Joseph Tapine 11. Hudson Young 12. Elliott Whitehead 13. Corey Horsburgh
Bench: 14. Tom Starling 15. Emre Guler 16. Pasami Saulo 17. Corey Harawira-Naera
Reserves: 18. Harley Smith-Shields 19. Trey Mooney 20. Peter Hola 21. James Schiller 22. Brad Schneider
Teams Analysis:
Did anyone have the Raiders handing Brisbane their first loss of the season? Stranger still that they did it without two of their best.
Joseph Tapine ($654.5k - 2RF/FRF - BE 77) was a late scratching due to the birth of his child and will return to the front row, moving Pasami Saulo ($279.4k - FRF - BE 40) to the bench. And Jack Wighton ($505.8k - 5/8 - BE 77) returns from suspension at five-eighth.
Jordan Rapana was huge on Saturday but is obviously out after that late game incident led to a clear concussion. He's replaced by the returning Nick Cotric ($435.3k - CTW - BE 58).
St George-Illawarra Dragons
1. Tyrell Sloan 2. Mathew Feagai 3. Moses Suli 4. Zac Lomax 5. Tautau Moga 6. Talatau Amone 7. Ben Hunt 8. Zane Musgrove 9. Jacob Liddle 10. Blake Lawrie 11. Ben Murdoch-Masila 12. Jaydn Su'A 13. Jack Bird
Bench: 14. Moses Mbye 15. Jack de Belin 16. Toby Couchman 17. Josh Kerr
Reserves: 18. Michael Molo 19. Max Feagai 20. Jayden Sullivan 21. Jaiyden Hunt 22. Viliami Fifita
Teams Analysis:
No major changes for the Dragons this week. Francis Molo was charged for his shot on Moeaki Fotuaika and will miss the next three weeks at least. Zane Musgrove ($389.2k - FRF - BE 67) starts at prop in his place.
There's really not that much SuperCoach interest out of this team. Maybe Tyrell Sloan ($354.7k - CTW/FLB - BE 29) who just scored 15 on the weekend.
In saying that, Jack Bird ($557.1k - CTW/2RF - BE 25) has been scoring well of late playing in the lock position but available at CTW for SuperCoach. There are worse options if you can stomach watching the Dragons each weekend.
PARRAMATTA EELS vs CANTERBURY-BANKSTOWN BULLDOGS
Sunday 4:05pm, Accor Stadium, Sydney
Parramatta Eels
1. Clinton Gutherson 2. Maika Sivo 3. Viliami Penisini 4. Sean Russell 5. Haze Dunster 6. Dylan Brown 7. Mitchell Moses 8. Reagan Campbell-Gillard 9. Josh Hodgson 10. Junior Paulo 11. Shaun Lane 12. Bryce Cartwright 13. Ryan Matterson
Bench: 14. J'maine Hopgood 15. Brendan Hands 16. Wiremu Greig 17. Makahesi Makatoa
Reserves: 18. Jakob Arthur 19. Matt Doorey 20. Ofahiki Ogden 21. Jack Murchie 22. Waqa Blake
Teams Analysis:
Junior Paulo ($544.3k - FRF - BE 74) is back after serving his two week suspension, in an instant boost to the Parramatta pack. For SuperCoach, this just about spells the end for J'Maine Hopgood ($548.5k - 2RF - BE 76). He was pushed back to the bench with the return of Shaun Lane ($724.1k - 2RF) last week and ended up playing 52 minutes. But with Paulo back, that takes up a good chunk of the middle minutes Hopgood was playing so he could see a drastic decline in the coming weeks.
Ryan Matterson ($695.1k - 2RF - BE 75) is proving to be one of the top 2RF guns once again, but he isn't a priority trade in yet. His scoring is matching his average and breakeven so the price isn't fluctuating too wildly.
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs
1. Hayze Perham 2. Jacob Kiraz 3. Jake Averillo 4. Paul Alamoti 5. Braidon Burns 6. Matt Burton 7. Kyle Flanagan 8. Max King 9. Reed Mahoney 10. Tevita Pangai Junior 11. Viliame Kikau 12. Jacob Preston 13. Raymond Faitala-Mariner
Bench: 14. Josh Reynolds 15. Jayden Okunbor 16. Corey Waddell 17. Ryan Sutton
Reserves: 19. Karl Oloapu 20. Jackson Topine 21. Samuel Hughes 22. Declan Casey 23. Andrew Davey
Teams Analysis:
It's been a struggle for the Dogs when it comes to forward stocks of late but having Viliame Kikau ($581.7k - 2RF - BE 80), Raymond Faitala-Mariner ($408.1k - 2RF - BE 82) and Tevita Pangai Jnr ($525.6k - 2RF/FRF) both named in the team lists is a welcomed sight. Kiks goes back to his regular left edge, RFM is back at lock and TPJ will provide some punch on the right edge. It's a formidable looking second row.
However, Josh Addo-Carr will spend a lengthy stint on the sideline having suffered both knee and ankle injuries in a nasty looking fall on the weekend. He suffered both a MCL and syndesmosis injuries so will miss up to 8 weeks following surgery. He's replaced on the wing by Braidon Burns ($520.8k - CTW - BE 54).
Jacob Preston ($506.3k - 2RF - BE 3) still has that huge ton in his rolling average so his breakeven in very manageable, but the sin-binning last weekend halted what could have been some huge earnings and he may be on the chopping block before too long. As is Paul Alamoti ($366.3k - CTW - BE 64) who's started leaking cash this week.
Appreciate these weekly! My go to tlt
Thoughts on Croker holding his position when Savage returns?
As was seen on the weekend, he’s still a sharpshooter. And he’s co-captain so I think he’s staying put.
Safer to wait til R9 after the bye and his 3rd game
A bit of a shame Pezet has to go but Hynes is Hynes
I’m debating holding off on this trade as I’m hoping Pezet goes up by enough himself to not make Nichol unreachable next week, and instead sell a couple of players who are about to leak cash eg Hopgood and Alamoti… Scares me though, not getting Nichol this week…
Nicho not Nichol (dodgy auto-correct)
HLF Toby Sexton is out due to a fractured wrist …source NRL website
Thanks mate. I missed that
Great write up as always.
No way I can get Hynes into the mix. Costs too much and would have to sacrifice too much. But thinking (with booster) :
Suaali’i (not performing), AKH & Brown out
Munster (partnering Burton), Campbell Graham & nuff in
Yeah / Nah?
Thanks for the write up, Semi, as per usual a concise and insightful tome.
I am sticking with my (suicidal) plan to live without Cleary. Shaun’s Johnson is my POD.
Edit: With the benefit of reading through, I’ve traded Hopgood and Warbrick for Pangi and CHk. Made it with 8k to spare.
Matt Lodge isn’t making his season debut. He suffered a facial fracture in round one. Good read otherwise thanks
Lodge is named in #17 for the chooks.
But he’s already played this year so it isn’t his season debut
Ah right. I’m with you. Thanks mate. I’ve been away from it a little bit
Thanks for the writeup, very useful.
Egan to Hynes via Boyd for me this week with Hopgood to a yet to be decided cashie to finance it. Need to dump Alamoti but noone in the 400k-ish range floating my boat this week
Oh Lakey, I forgot to say welcome back mate! Good to see (read?) you again!
Good stuff and I hope all is well 😉
See yah round, AJW.
