Luke Keary on the wing and Junior Paulo as both props?
Must have been a pretty average week this week 😂

Some of these selections are highly questionable. Case and point, compare Pangai Jr’s numbers to Paulo’s and they are not even remotely close. So I guess these selections are based on vibe?

Just went to town with the Roosters and Eels. Teddy and Paulo were so good they came in twice!
