Don't mind that team at all. I like Sammut at 5/8, but at least in this side you get Coote, Sammut, Graham and Walsh in the same team together. Only worry is Coote's defense on the wing with Jennings. Maybe Gordon in the centres with Coote on his wing? Or Lewis/Cooper (great buy imo) in the centres on Cootes wing, with Gordon on Jennings side.
Nathan Smith seems to have a lock (sorry for the pun) on the 13 jumper. Would much rather see either Lewis or Waterhouse there, with the other going into the second row.

Smith makes a lot of tackles and has always been an Elliott favourite even at Canberra. Waterhouse can easily fill the 12 jumper, probably forgot him there.
Just think Luke Lewis needs to be on the field but hes not a half at all and I really dont think hes an outside back these days, lock would suit him as he can still get his hands on the ball without having to be the play maker.

If the 14th player had nothing to do (ie not touch the ball or make a tackle) with the moment he ran on and to when the player he replaced went off, then I think stripping of two points is harsh and a fine should be enough. Yeah if the player touched the ball or made a tackle, fair enough to strip them off the points IMO.

Waterhouse has never been a lock. He's a second rower.. in fact he's closer to being a prop than a lock IMO. He was selected there originally due to Lang's philosophy of "We're not going to actually recognise that lock is different to second row; we're just going to pick three back rowers." Both Smith and Lewis are better locks than House, and that's coming from a fan of him.

Yeah, that. Although:Yeah, give Dogs the points.
If not, well I had 2 wins on the weekend.
Better times in Dream Team, despite me foolishly making Campese my captain.

Dogs won, tip counts. Just because they get stripped of their points doesn't mean the result gets reversed.

Exactly, you dont see the TAB paying out on the Penrith Win? Or asking for refunds after paying out on the Dogs win...
Tip stands...
Didnt see all the tips changed back in 2003(i think it was) when the dogs were stripped of their points due to the salary cap issue.. In reality this is no different.

On top form Pritchard>Waterhouse. Given that Pritchards top form comes around as often as Sharks premierships its hard to argue against Waterhouse offering more to the Panthers.
