you know you don't work for the Courier Mail right ... you don't need click bait headlines.

 

[Strop]

No Asiata? Right.

I mean it’s closer than last time but sad to hear Asiata has moved on already.

Courier Mail's latest prediction:

Haas in the predicted Round 1 lineup as well. Easy mistake to make, not like his suspension has been in the news or anything.

Is Payne Haa just Payne Haas with a fake moustache to throw the NRL off?

you know the scary thing ... the NRL are probably stupid enough to fall for it ... well, at least, if the Roosters tried to pull it off

Should be a forum rule that you can't fix mistakes once someone's made a joke about it. Now I just look like an idiot.

No idea what you're talking about.

I know this won't happen but whats everyone thoughts of having a spine like this (Just wishful thinking tbh)
1. Milford
6. Kelly/Walters
7. Dearden
9. Turpin
14. B. Walters/Kelly/Paix


I definitely think with better halfs MIlford at the back can work but Walters has said Milford is a 6

Easy to avoid - just look like an idiot all the time and no one bats an eyelid when you continue to do stupid things.

I think kevie is starting with isaako at fullback to give him a bit of a shot which he didnt really get under seibold (He did play fullback in 2 of the 3 games we won) but will be keeping a sharp eye on walsh in ISC.

If isaako is average or not performing and walsh is doing well in ISC i would not be too surprised if kevie moved walsh into first grade.

Miflord has been tried at fullback a few times and it didn’t really inspire any great change to his form.

Walters is a very average 6 and would put immense pressure on Dearden, and Kelly was so fat he didn’t last 3 days into the pre-season. There’s a reason a guy with his talent spent his peak years in England, he couldn’t handle the effort required in the NRL.

It's worth noting that Kelly is actually back at training now and will likely suit up to play the Seagulls.

Will it be a Taylor-sized kit?

Yuk. Too much Milford.
1. Isaako
7. Dearden
6. Croft
9. Turps (A fit Luke)

Milford super sub with instructions to threaten with every single touch.

Yes, I know I'm a terrible judge
