Teddy hasn't confirmed or deny he is backing up so don't get your hopes up just yet.

Garrick can fill in though, even though he's shit it's better than nothing

Do u captain tolo woth cook backing up origin?
Altho cook might be able to get a decent score with 2 rookie halves..

If Brittain isn't on bench in updated teams, Cook will be playing 80.

If so, I'm captaining him

Last year Cook was rested after Origin 1. After Origin 2 he scored a 75 and after Origin 3 he scored a 79.

What story with Hutchison? 1 game in 2016 for 64pts then none since. How long is Keary out for? Seems maybe overstated? What's up with Lamb and Lam?

Back fracture doesn't require surgery

Apparently best case scenario is misses next 2 rounds and worst case scenario is misses a month

So with best case scenario he would play only R15 out of next 4 games (R13, R14 injured, R16 bye) and with worse case scenario he would be back around Origin 3 (Round 17)

Holding this week with the hope of more concrete news next week. I dont care if he only plays R15 as I brought him as a keeper and was expecting to play Dearden and Mann in my Halves for R16 anyways.

Technically next two rounds is 3 weeks. R13 to R14 is 1 week. R14 to Origin 2 is 2 weeks. Origin 2 to R15 is 3 weeks.

Has anyone still got Arrow?

Want to trade either Rein or Arrow out this week for McInnes. Worried about Peats taking minutes from one of them.

Up: Rein
Down: Arrow

At the first sign of Arrow having an injury, I punted him.

Its really a flip of a coin with those two for this week.

The biggest issue you have is Brennan, its impossible to guess what he will do, so take the below with a grain of salt...

I would actually guess that Rein may turn out to be a better pick for this week. Long term though.. Arrow...

Some team updates -
STORM - All 4 Origin players trained in the Captains Run and are expected to play. Pat Kaufusi, Billy Walters, Albert Vete and Justin Olam have boarded flights home to Australia to play for their respective feeder clubs in the Intrust Super Cup competition this weekend. Christian Welch is still named on the extended interchange bench as he closes in on a return from the knee injury he suffered in round 10 against the Wests Tigers.
EELS - Nathan Brown is expected to come into the 17 on game day.

NRL.COM reporting that Thompson will be fullback, Mbye centres for Tigers.

Thompson a bit of a smokey POD but I guess there is the threat of DWZ turning up.

With Arrow, he was fatigued with origin and regular season and as a result, put up rubbish score. He acknowledged this post-season but how he will remediate that, I don't know. I traded him out before bye rounds so hopefully I don't regret it.

Thompson, super tempting.

Why make that decision now - wouldnt you wait till the team lists come out?

If you've kept arrow this long (I haven't) I'd be holding him and trading Rein IF Arrow is starting.

Hope BA has forgotten that Brown can play a bit of hooker.

Arrow's job security is much better than Rein's long term.

Thanks guys. Long time creeper, first time poster.

I wanted to trade out Arrow when the injury news broke but I had him as vice captain and couldn't trade out.

I'm worried about nursing Arrow (and missing out on H2H points) until after Origin so ideally want Rein and Arrow out asap (one this week, one next). So it's really about who will get the most points this week.

All up to Ivan if a deal goes through with DWZ. But Thompson is tempting as you say.

If that's the case then the answer is in the final team list. Cause you are trading to McInness you cant wait. If Arrow is playing I would trade Rein, if he's out, trade Arrow!
