I want Uele to come in, Woods I assume is ready so he gets the bench spot.

Pretty great spot to be in.

Hopefully it fixes our starts and be good to see how Uele goes starting a game.

If Woods isn’t fit, we’ll have to have a backrower fill in as a bench prop or something. Looking at our roster I think we’re literally out of props. Seumanafagi is gone and Rudolf is out for the year I think. I’d say maybe Gal plays more minutes and Williams or Bukuya fill in, Uele to start.

Could Bukuya knock out a massive 20? That Williams/BHU super sub combo has been massive for us this year. I’d be worried about messing with that

I’ve got him in my SC team. Very selfish of him to challenge, what am I meant to do now?

I’d be surprised if Woods wasn’t back for the Dogs game.

My pack would be:

Uele
Brailey B or J
Prior
Nikora
Graham
Gallen

Bench

Woods
Williams
Bukuya
Capewell

Don't worry mate, every serious super coach player has him , so all in the same boat.

Just kicking myself not to pick up Uele when he was dirt cheap.

Fifita being suspended is a joke, considering Bateman copped nothing. Made worse is that McGuire cops a fine for eye gouging twice in a matter of weeks, with no suspension. Fifita was stupid for what he did, no arguing that, but he has been suspended simply because of who he is.

& all of a sudden the NRL is looking to be on top if things with Crusher tackles, as per you alluding to Bateman, pity they didn't choose to be consistent, Bateman was a classic crusher, the way the tackle started & finished, Fifita, did the stupid flop which finished with him somewhat crushing the opponent, not condoning it, merely pointing out Bateman was the perfect example how the crusher tackle was first introduced to the game.

Batemen may argue the head slipped out at the end and that may be why they let him off. It's bull**** to me because his intent / recklessness was clear and Graham was lucky he potentially got his head out in time.

Fifita's was dumb but not intentionally a crusher. It was an intentional flop but not an intentional crusher.

I agree 100%. Batemans was a classic crusher and its a joke he got off. On the flip, fifs probably deserved a week and the month off will get him fit and revved for the back end of the season.

Did you all hear Fifita's comments in the judiciary? About it being a contact sport and he likes to throw his weight around? Who is helping coach this guy to deal with the world?

What's wrong with any of that? It is a contact sport and the 115kg+ boys like Andrew aren't there for their twinkle toes and lightning pace.

3 weeks without him is gonna hurt.
But gives him to time to sort out his niggling injuries. Could be a blessing in disguise

Apart from the dumb cheap shots, there's nothing with with it on the field... but it's like fighting a speeding ticket by saying 'it's a fast car, it should be driven that way'.
