Normally he does but was named on opposite this week which I assumed was to keep Sifa from murdering Allan.
In what way was he named on opposite side?
Shop 3 Allen 4 last few weeks

Could all switch around now anyway I don’t know what preferred position of new guy is but think both Shop and Kiraz have played centre on both sides

On the team sheet he's named next to kiraz so as I said I assumed.
I'm not going to pretend like I pay attention to the Dogs team sheet every week.

He's just named in the three, yes his name is next to Kiraz but that's just numerical order not specifically how they will partner.

You don't need to pretend like you pay attention to the dogs team sheet every week, I was just asking what the source of your statement was.
I must have misunderstood how you used the word assumed as it looked like you were stating he was named to play opposite side and you were assuming why.

I know I don't Bort but you asked how I came to that conclusion and that was the answer.

Don't feel the need to defend your question mate it was a reasonable one, although I understand if my reply seemed passive-aggressive and apologise.

No worries I only used that language agreeing with you

Would be nice if every wing centre pairing was 2/3 left and 4/5 right to make it easier to keep track of who actually will play where!

You mustn’t play SuperCoach as I find I need to check random teams team sheets far more often than I’d care to otherwise, to try make sure my dudes are playing. Or you splashed for SuperCoach plus to work that out for you

mate, dont look at team sheets, look at actual field positions

the number on their back is nothing to the side of the field they play

Yes, my 30 years of watching actual field positions have taught me that the 2 and 3 generally play on the same side of the field.

No I don't play supercoach, never really tried fantasy leagues, might give it a try next year.

If the Dogs beat us, is it an upset? My Dogs mate at work reckons his team are right in this and would be no surprise if they won. He is saying a Dogs victory would not be an upset.

Gives you a different perspective on some games that otherwise wouldn't be as interesting (because now you have some skin in the game).
For example to you, if you even watched last night, you (I assume) don't really give a **** Koula scored twice but I'm stoked by that, he's gunna make a good chunk more money for me now.

Also tends to get you keeping a much closer eye on younger guys and debutants across the league.

Draft I did for the first time this season and is another beast again as you have restricted options who is available so you get some real random selections, but don't have to worry about cap and price changes.

I'd say on average it seems people think the Sharks will win but would not be shocked if beaten by Dogs.
Being a biased Sharks fan I think a lot of people just like the narrative of the Dogs getting another win.
Helps confidence in them that they have finally found their spine, but at the end of the day it being their best spine doesn't make it a top 8 quality spine.

They have a good enough team they can easily beat us if we play the way we have some games this season.

I think the week off will be worse for them. I know we also have won two in a row but not convincing, almost felt like losses a bit.

They had more momentum that us.

Agree, I'd think break more likely to stifle Dogs new found momentum than the fact we have won two games in a row also.

Burton coming out on a high though

I agree.

Also, it is possible for Burton's performance to fall as it may happen after a high.

I won't expect us to be so lucky!
Maybe Ramien and Graham/Wilton might like to try and take some of the pep out of his step though.
As a bonus Burton so tall Ramien's upright shots shouldn't be high

Run Sifa directly at Flanju the whole first half, will get them super compressed for Ronnie to stroll in as required.

Hmm which one of you two have more credibility?

On another note, where is the best place to park at the ground? Don't mind paying up. Was going to catch the bus but might drive with the rain.
