Don’t get me wrong, we’ve defended so poorly in the 2nd half, but we have been crucified by poor calls once again

@Kraken i haven’t actually watched bc i’ve been out but i’m filthy at your boys for guaranteeing jaeman salmon the spot for the rest of the year given he is abjectly the worst player in the comp this side of gehmet shibasaki

edit: also it’s just crushing in the modern game to lose an outside back to an injury in the first half. it’s almost a one way ticket to a loss. we’ve had it happen to us several seasons…

Yeah, it's almost impossible to cover these days. The value of a player like a Connor Tracey who can cover wing, fb and centre can't be understated. There aren't many of them around, but if you aren't structuring your bench around outside back coverage, then you're basically gambling every week that you won't cop an injury.

Just read an article suggesting NSW's halves pairing should be Ethan Strange and Nicho Hynes - they reckoned Hynes has the experience to guide Strange around. It's obviously not going to happen, and while it would be exciting (and great if it came off), it would more than likely end in carnage with 2 inexperienced origin halves together.

haha watch the tries he scored, he did nothing special. not a coincidence you guys attack a lot better without Drew "dummies and runs every play" Hutchinson at 7

Based on last week there’s no way you could’ve called the Dogs or Panthers being that good or the Storm or Raiders being that bad this week. Not to mention the respective performances of the Sharks and Roosters after last week. Shocking comp to tip.

Like I said last week, Sharks are just pretenders.

Pity I tipped them. And made Hynes the captain of my fantasy team. The **** scored 2 points...so that's 4.
