The Silver Fern

I don't have a problem with the idea, as (same as shops) they can open after lunch. The morning/dawn is the remembrance time, and a game in the afternoon would be fine. But ANZAC doesn't fit in with the season, taking ABs out for two SR rounds would be shit.

A fix would be to give SR a proper season length, and except at certain times there are no internationals. Proper longer season with full home and away as well as knock outs maybe and get the balancing factor of teams that are stacked playing without them - and more opportunities for wider TG players

I doubt they'll start both Higgins and Proctor even if available. Maybe one with the other on the bench. Obvs much better players but hard to start both midfielders with no warm up games like that.

Not as many obvious standouts this week. I'm avoiding getting too involved in the Crusaders/Blues or Waratahs/Brumbies games, mostly looking to Chiefs, a few from Force vs Drua and a few in the Highlanders/Reds. At least weather doesn't seem a factor anywhere. Just went with Mckenzie as captain, seems the safest option this week.

Yeah, the halfback pick for this week is a hard one with Roigard out. Not sure who to pick there. I'm tempted to pick Reece and Jordan in my back three but feel like the Blues will be able to negate them a lot more than the Force could. I think I've got my pack sorted for this week, even with Savea and McReight out.

Ugh the halfback thing was a trap, Brumbies guy was the most picked option so I went with him and got 4 points

Me too, how do you get four points as a 9?

Interesting that Lawson, Perez, Albon have all struggled as Max's number 2. Is the car just set up 100% for Max and the number 2 driver is just an after though? That's probably to simplistic.
I'm also glad Lawsons not blaming the car. The last thing a new driver should be doing is blaming your crew. You need the crew on your side.

The team's get their allocation of money based on the team position from last year. For the teams, the constructors championship is more important. So I really doubt that's the case, that he's an afterthought. But he is not confident in the car, for sure

Lawson dead last in qualifying.

Tsunoda laughing at him in 3rd.

Lawson really is not gelling with this car.

I don't think Yuki will want a bar of that RB seat now

I think they’ll give him a few more races to get a handle on things but if he doesn’t improve by mid season I’d say he will be gone. Brutal sport.

I think that car is a donkey right now. As it turned out Liam would have been better to have been given a start in the junior team

This could ruin his career before it’s begun. Funny how the world works aye.

Lots of articles mentioned this in the off season

Goalkicking will hurt Crusaders in tighter games, but they’ll be tough to beat at the pointy end of the season. Blues season running close to TKO at this point, surely.

JOC will be In the ten shirt soon, I think

Can we please move on from Ioane as our AB centre. Stop rewarding a player that’s shown nothing to deserve that spot at Super level in the last few years.

Thainking that, for the incumbent AB 13, he's shown bugger-all tonight

Bugger all the whole season

For several seasons

Knock on advantages go for so long nowadays
