Score could be anything.

I thought for sure Pele would get a run in the 17 this week. Obviously I thought wrong

Panthers would rip him to shreds.
None of the guys on the bench really deserve to be dropped for him either.

Well if Ramien isn’t over his glut injury I’d say Pele would get a bench spot if he puts Teig in the centres again.

Not that is will affect the result but need to give Trindall more minutes and Woods less.

Penriff haven't been at their best the last couple of weeks, still expecting an arse pounding though.

Well lucky for them, good guys Cronulla will be on hand to be good pals and play them back into form. Geez our team are good blokes.

Yeh we get **** clubs back into form. Imagine what we will do for good clubs going through a 'flat' patch. Hope they at least buy us dinner first...

I’m mainly thinking of a bit more size on the bench, since we have lost Uele. I haven’t been overly impressed with Magoulias, just don’t seem to notice him much. To be fair though, I will look at last week’s game again(torture) and see if I have missed something

I'd guess Dugan gets a redemption chance and Teig stays on bench personally

Remember the other week we had Storm beat by 2 but the absolute cheats wanted to play another 40 minutes

He's only averaging something like 20 mins. Not taking many runs but we seems to be passing the ball on approx half his touches which is fine if that's what we've asked of him. Makes most of his tackles which is more than can be said for most. Agree he isn't doing a huge amount of stamping ownership on jersey but hasn't been hurting us really either, which is more than can be said for most also.

If Pele could be trusted to not get chopped up in defence he probably would get a look in.

Maybe give Pele a run and put him on after 20 minutes with a 50k bonus on the line if he can legally get Cleary or Luai removed before halftime. See how hard he can really run.
Had a coach put a carton on a player once (knock him out of the game legally I'll buy you a carton). Nobody won it but it was fun trying.

There needs to be an investigation!

Struggling to get a game for the Jets yet people want him in firsts. Strange.

It is strange but on here very common

 

[CrazyMatt]

What happened to Daniel Vasquez? I know he isn’t wasn’t the brightest prospect around but at least he was good enough last year to feature in first grade. Did he fall off?

Not top 30, apparently not good enough to upgrade yet either. Not sure how he's been going.

Wow. Going from first grade to not being in the top 30 half a year later must be pretty jarring.

Pretty common for Dev list players I'd think.
Most Dev players would still be with full squad most sessions too, so not too much different for him vs any of the top 30 guys not getting a look in like Paterson, Nene

Oh he was a dev player? Ok, right.

 

[BurgoShark]

Vasquez was dev list last year also. He played after the date for dev players.

Dev players are eligible this season from round 16.
