I don’t make the rules, but when you concede 50, you can’t win the Premiership. Fresh off a 50-20 loss without the majority of their starters, the Roosters are tempting fate…

Warriors rule out Halasima, bring Tuaupiki in at fullback & shift CNK to centre for their Saturday matchup against the Sea Eagles. This shapes up as a must-win game for the Minor Premiership 🏆

Latrell Mitchell may not get the full 80 minutes. He also might get 80. Any time there’s a quote from the coach though, we’ve got to share it!

Keep this in mind if you’re buying & captaining Latrell. Very much a high risk high reward proposition.

Herbie Farnworth has been a popular captain call leading into Round 27. But this latest news may downgrade him as an option - both Kodi Nikorima & Kulikefu Finefeuiaki have been ruled out for the Dolphins.

With Herbie’s primary half not playing this week, the attack on his edge should still be strong, but not quite as strong as originally forecasted. This is enough for me to make a late swap on captaincy away from Herbie.
