lol. this is the inverse of team spirit. talk him up now, so when you bag him later as captain you look even handed.
maybe he is really just making a comment so that his own name appears in the same article as the keywords "blues selection" + Anasta? not sure but the hype is suss.
kudos to DSM for pointing out how the resurgent roosters forwards pack is gonna make Smith look like a coach under fire by the end of Round 5. Thats the problem with being front and centre at the start (when teams are fresh), if you fail everyone is gonna bag you. maybe I'll punt on roosters opponents for rnds 1-5 just for the fun of it. Double or nothing each week, should keep it interesting.
