I can kind of get how they put him on a huge deal originally because he looked great early and they struggle so much to get genuine stars even more so star halves.

But now people are actually seeing why many Warriors fans were happy to see the back of him. Now queue the standard SJ stroppy interviews and social media comments.

Pretty sure it had the same strapping last week.

He always has that strapping mate

Oh okay. By default I was right then

488 from 9 here.  110 rank to 171.  I am an obsessive bye planner, but managed to stave off the disease this Round.  Happy to only lose that many ranks and have 4 trades left for the run home.  I reckon 4 is about average.

Very similar position to me.

494/9 and went from 102 to 159th. Also four trades left. WIll see you inside the top 100 at seasons end, mate!

688 and up to 191st from 469th. 4 trades left and I'm gonna struggle. I really needed last night's game to go better. Oh well, was worth a punt. Hopefully I can hang on.

How many games has SJ won for NZ and the Warriors with miracle plays in the last two minutes? Quite a lot.

Johnson is everything the Warriors are and have been. Rocks or Diamonds.
No surprises that he'll have a few terrible games in a season but he'll also have a few where he'll be best on the park by the length of a field.

He's inconsistent but he's still an amazing talent.
One thing I will say is that he's never been one to lead a team around. Don't expect that.

Johnson is absolutely the kind of player who can not look interested for 75mins and then win the game for you with an unbelievably play.
He can also throw a terrible pass straight over the sideline or kick it out on the full.

Surely we all still sit back and enjoy the rollercoaster for what it is because it won't change anytime soon.

Look forward to his next game where he looks like the best player in the comp. It won't be too far away.

I didn't think the average was that low, I've got 5 and it feels like I'm doing a lot worse than everyone.

4 or 5 is spot on. Anyone max trading would have been left with 2 BEFORE the start of this Round I think? It has been a rough year for cash generation; a part of that is the Keepers that have emerged, like Haas/Nikora, who actually won't get traded and thus aren't generating any ACTUAL cash for teams. Injuries have been as bad as I can recall and Origin wild cards have been out there.


Of the serious Overall teams, there will be a few with 0; maybe a quarter with 1/2/3; maybe half with that 4 or 5; and the rest with 6/7/8. That's how I see it anyway.

Well I just ran some scenarios and I've traded myself into a fucking corner. The week where I decided to trade Dearden in instead of Mann and he got injured has probably put the nail in the coffin because just one extra trade would have been immense. Looks like I'll have to keep SJ/CNK for the season.

Down to pretty much two options, let me know what the better one is.

A. Trade CNK/SJ to any gun. Keep the other one. 2 trades left.

B. Trade Mann to a nuffie. Upgrade Robson to my final gun. CNK/SJ becomes my 18th man but 1 trade left.

Depth vs an extra trade, what's better?

For those that are not aware;

SJ

Hooked.

A and trade CNK

Round 17 is going to be very interesting

Top guy:

- Doesn't have Cook, Fifita or Ponga
- Has a wfb of CNK, Watson and Ted
- Has zero wfb or centre cover 14-17

Unless he has 8+ trades left then he's very gettable. Of course, your main challengers might be behind you not in front of you.

Gentleman.....ladies. Buckle up, sit back, hold on tight and watch the beauty of the famous Rabbit charge unfold, in front of your very eyes.

140th. 7 trades, plus a team of champions.

I don’t mind you all gratuitously benefiting from this. Go ahead. It will be good for your soul. And mine.

Luv. Rabbit.

The only way I can take this is that perennial Top 100 player rhinoceroo is smack talking you MTB

Hard to tell what our side will look like. Will milford play? Seems like SOS is injured now, so who plays halves.. Siebold seemed sure of persisting with milford at fb..

Ahem, cough, Fusitua, cough.

Coatesy scored a meaty didn’t he? Nearly got another one. He’d have to have scored 50+? I haven’t checked.

Based on the official stats page for the game on nrl.com, there is a few updated scores for today

Xerri 45 - up 3
SJ 31 - up 1
Nikora 33 - down 1
Uele 33 - no change

Farnworth 24 - no change
Staggs 26 - down 2
Coates 16 - no change
Haas 78 - no change
Carrigan 30 - no change

You know what I’m itching for? Unlock this puppy failhub......I’m about to assemble something to behold. HTFU Sonia.
