The Rookie

Storm: 1-17.
Raiders: 1-17.

monojoker

Hard to believe but thanks to Sivo I’m no cert of a h2h win despite having both turbo and mau as uniques. My opponent has looped Moses but I’m sticking on teddy. The matchup summary is I’m 35 points ahead with Mitchell and Teddy(c) my last uniques vs his Munster maumolo teddy. His ae so far is 57 from taupau but he has burns and nikora as nprs. I ran some scenarios and i think I’m right not to loop. I would have benched Murray or klemmer to do it and matto, too, xerri and kbrom nprs. Tldr do I… Read more »

Watson

I think you’d have to be favourite but who knows in this game? Mitchell could get 100+ or 30.
Overall however, I would rather be in your position. Good luck mate.

LOTE

If you’ve already included their looped score yes. However, if Munster goes massive I’d be tempted to put the C on Latrell as a unique. Hopefully benching Xerri doesn’t hurt.

Watson

You’re a brave man LOTE, but sometimes that pays dividends. I had the C on Moses all week but changed at the last minute because of his reliance on big attacking points. Last week he kicked 2/6. Sure enough, he comes out this week with the big attacking points: 3 TA’s and 6/6 with the boot.
I went for the reliability of Teddy. It’s a conservatism that I really need to overcome if I’m going to get anywhere in this game.

The Duke

Question from the floor: Who’s the better captain choice, Munster or Johnson?

TU – Munster
TD – Johnson

monojoker

SJ by plenty, the raiders will be all over Munster

The Duke

Thanks. Was leaning that way.

boink

Last reserve
TU nikora
TD tevaga

JJJonny

TU Smith
TD Maumalo

BunnyAllStars

Klemmer and Nathan Brown stinking it up this week

TurkeySnow

Klemmer due much? Opponent has him and I don’t!

kegs kings

Only a few points in offloads. Only played 53 minutes this week.

TurkeySnow

Just saw that on sc, that’s good for my hvh

1 pt up C HASS played versus his 2 extra players

kegs kings

Big decision for me tomorrow. Currently looking at my biggest score ever in 5 years of playing.
Capt Latrell or sj. Could do cook or Bateman but think they only get 80 max. Currently on my mate Latrell. Hope he doesn’t let me down.

kegs kings

10/910 capt trell to come.

Watson

Very nice score KK.

dzrey

TU: Loop Turbo/Cop AE of Klemmer, Bateman, Nikora

TD: Captain SJ/Latrell

BunnyAllStars

Are you leaving out Bateman?
Is Kerr or Sailor in your squad? as still haven’t been omitted from dragons squad

dzrey

Yeah I’m playing Xerri over Bateman, and no I flicked kerr a week ago

kegs kings

In that case I’d loop.

BunnyAllStars

Who are you leaving out to loop though? Nikora?

dzrey

I put in the doggies nuff for bateman

BunnyAllStars

So Bateman and C SJ/latrell
vs C Turbo and Klemmer/Nikora lets say
50/50 toss a coin

dzrey

That’s what I’m thinking, I’ll bank on the certain 109 loop rather than sj/latrells unpredictability

kegs kings

I’m in exact same boat mate. Kerr still in the 19 makes me capt Latrell or sj

TurkeySnow

7/751 – C hass

Leeroy Jenkins

TU: J Papalii
TD: CWalker

Ev

TU: Loop Ponga’s 95 for safety (Xerri or Nikora my AE)
TD: roll the dice on Teddy or SJ to ton up?

Pool Man

Next up Storm v Raiders and my VC. I saw a funny comic capture in the Daily Telegraph saying it’s the Wrestles V the Strippers. It showed Storm players trying to get into a Canberra strip club. Go you strippers and do your stuff. Don’t let the big wrestling boys intimidate you. But remember to shower Cam Smith with gifts, a couple of tries that he can call his own will do. No need to write it down in your game plan though.

Cardy

11 for 916 Capt Cook or Llatrell or loop Turbo

Cardy

Thanks

Pool Man

Depends on who you think will be your EA for the loop. As for Captain either is good but I think Cook as he has upside and solid with Burgess back.

Cardy

Thanks I’m leaning towards zcook vs Bulldogs over Cs9 Llatrell

Pool Man

Who is your ea potentials for the loop?

Cardy

Corey Allan or kerr

Pool Man

They both shouldn’t be a problem as both are only listed in the reserves. Who do you have that your not playing who are listed in the 17 of their respective teams?

Cardy

Mamalauo and Xerri if I loop also have Llatrell Cs9 Bateman

Pool Man

I would loop

Cardy

I would probably drop Xerri

Mighty tigs

Not SC relevant
Just meat Maka sivo over at my local union club watching his brother and cousins. Im unsure if his dad was there but his relations are insane. It was only there 5th game but 1 of them has 28 tries. They are freaks. The team was 10th out of 12 and now due to +- is 5th and depending on another game to make finals. They are all humble and amazing people. Gained a new level of respect for him today.

BunnyAllStars

You gone to the dark side my brother? Union?

Mighty tigs

Yes down at the union watching his brothers/cousins. 1 was a fullback he was the 1 with all the tries. Looked like he would be a good league player as well. Very tall and built and can jump high and kick a ball. Not as quick as sivo but similar footwork

Watson

I don’t know his family but he’s a really good bloke. I wish Panthers had held onto him. It would have been interesting with him on one wing and young To’o on the other.

rockafella

So thinking TKO to Angus
Rest K.brom …?

Cardy

Is Corey Allan a chance of playing ?

The Rookie

Rabbitohs should be 1-17 (maybe positional changes) with Both Allan & Nicholls named in NSW Cup.

ithilmar

Can Walker outscore Munster? By how much?

Mighty tigs

Up to 60 IMO. Munster chance of a 40 walker can get 100
