I see what you’ve done there

TurkeySnow

Nice! Does that mean I should change my tip from strom to Bronccos?

Pablo Bill

I like it a lot……hope he has another grand finalesque brain fart and a double sin bin :silly:

BT

Downvote!

Pablo Bill

He’ll probably carve up now in the reverse alternate Pablo universe now, my main cash H2H opponent has him, CS9 and Hughes so I’m cheering for the broncos

Getting a little worried about the weather

Very nice photo, much appreciated.

I’m still going to VC him, wish me luck!

BT

I’m with you NP. What banner curse? 😈

DCE2011

BT

MadeInHolland

Thanks OTB I was thinking of benching Jazz because of the weather but named at hooker confirms it for me.

Nepal Donkeys

Jazz starting hooker. Interesting! Anyone know what this does to his output?

fc

Makes similar tackle numbers but loses his hitups

Nepal Donkeys

Still a play?

Pool Man

I think it decreases it. Hookers who don’t play 80 mins usually don’t score well. I think he score ok but I’m also hearing it’s pouring down with rain over there so I’m not playing him.

Nepal Donkeys

I have been doubting playing him all week and I think that finally confirms it for me

Pool Man

Anyone got any news on the weather over there in NZ, I’m hearing it’s pouring down.

Pablo Bill

Happy International….sip…..Beer….sip…..day everyone! Gulp, back to the bar!

OnTheBus

wonder if burr can be a surprise POD?

will play him ahead of Surg and hope for a 65

TheLaneTrain

You still own him?

OnTheBus

yeh he has been blowing cow webs with oku and whitehead , might as well give them a run .

Leaving out RTS and maumalo for him and Surg as a POD move , can’t wait to fail likethe others weeks lol

Daniel

Leaving out a winger averaging 65 and a fullback averaging 74.4 for someone averaging under 50 and someone returning from shoulder injury that caused significantly reduced output is about as pod as it gets

TheLaneTrain

Burr’s average is meaningless when half those games were spent off the bench. Starting with that bench he’ll get big minutes and should get 60+

grande212

51.7 from 10 games starting 2019

TheLaneTrain

He didn’t have a bench like this in most of those games. Scores of 75, 55 & 53 in base when playing 60+ mins and a season PPM of 1 are what i’d be looking at.

OnTheBus

dumb and pod have the same meaning but in slippery conditions it could be maumalo and RTS get 40s , il take the risk . Also nikora and SJ out too so big chance of a major error

DoughnutPunchers

This is probably going to be the week holding RTS bites me, but I just can’t bring myself to trade him. Gut feel that he breaks his try-fought tonight. The weather makes me nervous though, but maybe it will just make him more slippery, right?

MadeInHolland

Benching Jazz for Papalii, wish me luck. Hoping Papalii just does a ton of work tonight.

Pool Man

Good shout MIH

rockafella

Jazz only plays 20 at hooker then goes to lock for sure .

ithilmar

Anyone trading RTS to Teddy this round? Still can’t convince myself to do it.

DoughnutPunchers

My head says I should, but I can’t.

Pool Man

I’ve done it while it feels strange trading out such a gun, it is the gun position of SC and having Teddy there just feels so right.

BT

If you don’t do it with Teddy’s matchup this week, you’ll never do it.

TheLaneTrain

TU Jazz at Hooker
TD Lafai or Xerri

BT

Xerri

TheLaneTrain

Does Tevaga play 80? First 20 at hooker then rest of the game at lock?

Pool Man

He could shift back to lock and maybe play 80 min but it’s an unkown.

The Myth

I think there is actually a fair chance.

A hooker and half on the bench. Afoa doesn’t play big minutes. Curran is playing his first game for the warriors.

Melmo

Last reserve:
TU: Jazz at hooker
TD: C Walker
Comment: Fifi/Taupau

Daniel

Got the exact same decision and gut is saying to keep it on jazz

Pablo Bill

I’m leaving him in, for me it’s him or or Fifi

Tommy Smurf Sangsta

Depends on your goals for the week, but Walker all the way for mine. Kapow ain’t a bad option either I guess if you want solid. Who knows if Fifi is going to start or not. Could be a big POD play. FIfi can score massive in 40 mins.

Pot Luck

Who knows? It is risky. Jazz may go between 40-80 points and 40-80 minutes based on minutes shared with Lawton and the fact he could pull up injured at any moment. This is a risky enough situation where I am inclined to play an extra 5/8 or half this week instead of Jazz and incur the same risk with higher upside.

Leeroy Jenkins

Same situation, gut says Jazz plays 80 in some form

Dropping Tevaga for Calker I reckon.
