Just checked the current top 10, and only 1 of the top 10 can handle the loss of both Teddy and Ponga

Cumberland Cobras currently ranked 9th can play Sivo, CNK and Papenhuyzen

Now there are several weeks before R17, many without RTS will trade him in next week (although probably mostly for CNK)
But there are a bunch of other trades that could happen to improve availability.

But those at the top who are able to spend a trade covering their (assumed) absence could make big gains.

Damn that team is my rival for 1st place in Storm league. I would be right for R17 assuming I bring in a HLF/WFB between now and then - most likely for Dearden (I actually think if I cashout Havili in R16 I might be able to afford SJ - leaves my R17 WFB/HLFs as Watson/Lomax/RTS and Munster/SJ). Though these moves that I didn't even think of planning might jeopardise my final 17 (with plan for Jurbo & DCE post Origin) and lead to serious changes

Fifita charged with Grade 2 dangerous contact, missing 2 matches (including Tonga game)

The tweet hasn't attached the charge sheet though - potentially could challenge the grading and then avoid missing R15

Sounds full on man, but sounds like you are managing it all really well.

I dont mean to be intrusive, and not presuming anything, but in the area I work in, its very common to see people not accessing/receiving the financial support they are entitled to. Has you old man had a needs assessment and stuff? and have you been in contact with Alzeihmers NZ? I heard they can be quite good but its area dependent. PM if you'd like mate.

Sorry for derailing the fantasy thread lads.... but there are times real life is a touch more important with our fantasy one

All good mate. Yeah I get a benefit from WINZ that just covers my rent because even though I live with my dad full time I still have another household to run which has bills & that's where my family lives. Haha don't tell my wife but I miss my dog more than her. Is this harsh but we've been together for 29 years so maybe not. Dad got a needs assessment last year before he moved into a rest home so he could qualify for the rest home subsidy. However the rest of us weren't happy with the rest home so we checked him out & got him back in his house where we currently live. After the subsidy we were still paying about $1,000 to $1,100 a week for him to live at the rest home & we thought it was a rip off & a few little things happened where we weren't happy with the managements response. It's only minor stuff but it really annoyed me that they would say things like yes we will look into this issue & get back to you & they never did. One day I got there & he had 2 sky remotes & 1 of the staff just came in & took 1 of them for another room...the old man just said yes you can take it but the point was he has dementia & would of agreed to anything because he didn't understand & my view was they took advantage of him. When we raised this with management they said all the right things but did nothing about it.

Well that's rough indeed. Hope wolfie can reverse if he brought him in

Honestly there was nothing in it.

That's absurd.

(1) WTF even is bye planning
(2) A lot more people up top are going to be getting Xerri as their loop now I think because I saw a few relying on Lomax to play - maybe CNK 12 isn't so bad after all
(3) Someone refer him to Raiders doctors so he is back by R16

Bored at work. Thought I'd share:

12 in the top 50 of the fanatics overall group played Xerri in their 17, probably representing about the top 600 or teams.
30 in the top 100 of the FOG did this also, I'm not sure what rank that takes you to. Soylent (Les Kiss Fan Club) is about there if he's around and cares to comment.

It's probably a pretty good sample suggesting around a quarter of teams in the top 1000, possibly more if you are further back, did the same. More than I thought it would have been tbh.

Take home: If you managed to avoid Xerri's score it should see you make gains. If you were unlucky to play him at least you're not the only one.

So many injuries to the green machine. The poor old Raiders can't catch a break, parden the pun.

The Dragons have brought Lachlan Maranta into their team. Don't know what Pereira has done.

Does anyone not have Fifita? If he misses the next NRL round, its a test of your depth I guess.

It's things like this that made me hold the RTS trade.

Would like to see it actually.

Taupau ditches Kiwis, chooses to play for Samoa.

Yeah, Fifita out bothers me a lot less than Lomax's injury. Lomax was generating cash to fund a round 17/18 upgrae, and was going to be an extra player for round 16.

Borris and Burns should both be back R15 with any luck --

Borris plays round 16 and both should play R17 Burns DPP so good cover and an excellent scorer. All is not lost

More bad news.. Cam Murray missed the captains run with a virus, Bennett said he is 'confident' that he will play.

Apparently Adam Reynolds will return to training next week.

Reverse my Arey trade?

No guarantee he will play, just that he will return to training and then it is a pain management thing.

I considered reversing but with Xerri in 18th position, I would have to commit to playing Mitch Kenny.

It is the process of trading in players you don't like, so that they get injured or dropped.

Use your powers wisely
