I'm surprised some are still going on about SJ.
I mentioned about a week ago that ON TOP of SJ playing injured, statistically (tries, try assists, forced drop outs, kick meters) hes actually ahead of where he was this time last year, and was miles ahead of Nicho Hynes who was winning the Daly M.
Yeah his D has been worse than last year which has hurt us at times, but at least part of that has been down to an injury.
Crazy to think that some people will use this great win as another reason to blame SJ haha
As soon as he is fit he is straight in at 7. The question then becomes who plays 6 and 1
Team I want for this week...
1. Tuaupiki
2.DWZ
3.Ali
4.Pompey
5.Monts
6.CNK
7.TMM
8.AFB
9.Roache
10.Afoa
11.Ford
12.Barnett
13.Walker
14.CHt
15.Ale
16.Jazz
17.Laban
I really feel a player thats been forgotten in the Panthers win is Dylan Walker. He played first reciever in the middle of the field and probably had more touches than anyone out there. His added leg speed created space outside. Honestly think when Tohu is fit that Walks should stay in the 13 and have Tohu off the bench. His defence through the middle is exceptional and he adds speed and leg drive on offense that Tohu just doesnt seem to posess anymore. Tohu would be valuable on the bench in that he covers prop, 13 and could potentialy have stints on the edge in a pinch.

I'd have CNK at 6 and Roger or Taine at 1, TMM either bench hooker or share workload with SJ starting, both are fragile anyway
Do Lussick on the bench to cover hooker with Roache starting?
Yep I would go with that. Roache is so similar to his brother (who I was a massive fan of). His service is fast and classy. Do not underestimate how critical he was in that game.
I have this sneaking suspicion that Lussick will be named at 9, and Chanel could well take Roache's spot on the bench
Not that I agree with it, that would be total bullshit to have a guy out and out earn the jersey and not give it to him.. I guess I should wait for 6pm before getting annoyed at Webby for something he hasn't even done yet lol

TMM for whatever reason cant play 6 next to SJ at 7. Its that simple. He didnt have a "blinder" he had a shockingly bad 1st half, and put on an acceptable show in the 2nd. Senior half, international rep and hes had a shit year. Doesn't make him a bad person.
Reactive is the worst way to be a leader. Proactive, always.
I think the type of person he is, the more he is the focal point the more he shines. Metcalf for example has spoken about trying to find how he 'fits' as the secondary half. It must be a tough balancing act
My feeling about Marata was correct!

Take your time. No pressure.
I want to see the 17 you would pick right now assuming everyone is available.
Even if someone is outside the top 30 you can pick them.
You rate Bunty that highly?
I am not sure what's most surprising - Bunty named twice or no Walker!
In all seriousness, does Walker replace "Bunty" on your bench or is CHT playing the Walker role?
