It'll be a miracle if Foran sees out the season.

and Fifi is guilty, 2 NRL games out

Fifita found guilty.

"Andrew Fifita has been unsuccessful in having his dangerous contact charge downgraded at a judiciary hearing tonight, ruling him out of the Tongan team for their Test match against New Zealand on Saturday.... Fifita will miss the next three matches but won’t have any carry over points."

Need Burns back now to avoid trades, that is a huge blow for the bye! Proposed 1/2 best scorer out???

Sigh

Tigers will be upgrading a development player to round out our top 30. With our cap fine we only have about 100k left this year. My guess it'll be Kane Bradley (winger)

So Fifi out for R15 & R16, well fuck

That's a major spanner in the works - I'm awfully tempted to do some batshit crazy move of Fifita to TTurbo or someone that will be in my final 17 now if he's not going to be playing in R15 or R16 and then pick him back up for Watson post Origin

Thoughts?? Anyone else possibly considering short term trade out

Edit: Probably won't have the balls to do it because I'm usually a risk averse player and my only FRF back up would be Carrigan then (though he wouldn't need to be in my 17)

Happens every year, big name player gets injured/suspended just before bye round when they are most needed

Surgess has done it a few times

Surgess is the undisputed king of non-origin players avoiding bye rounds, been around for nearly a decade, most of which at a time where clubs played two bye rounds per year, and i reckon i could count the times he played a bye round on one hand.

The carnage lately is fucked.

Useless sack mate!

Have you recovered your position lately fella?

Taupau up to my FRF, Matterson to 2RF and Robson up to my INT I guess. It's him or Carrigan.

Forgot about Rep round, probably gives McInnes the extra recovery time he needs, so Robson isn't as valuable for R15 sadly!

Will be Burns for me likely if he returns or Papy

Everyone has Fifita though right? Certainly everyone in L4 does, and the top ten fanatics, and the top ten overall.

I doubt there would be many that have the trades to trade him out and in again. So it's more a question of depth. For me, unless I do something out the box, I'd have to play Xerri and To'o on my bench in round 15. Could be worse right?

sadly not, was trending in the right direction for a couple weeks, but then being down 2 WFB in Teddy and Lomax last week without any back-up WFB's to speak of sunk me back down to the bottom, could've had Turbo in, but i decided one more price drop was worth more than the points gained and that went about as well as every other desicion i've made this season

I honestly dont understand how that fifta crusher was that bad.

Got grubs throwing boots into the crowd and they dont even get a penalty, want to ban somebody for a slightly awkward landing that wasn't even that dangerous.

Fifita you clown haha. This sure does make things interesting.

This is again where you can gain some spots, the depth to cover a player like Fifita who all serious players own and more than likely lacking the trades to go out and back in!

So comes down to guys like Xerri/Burns/To'o/Robson/Havili/Papy/Cust etc exciting and shit at the same time

Same two here or Havili depending on Hodgson returning
