*not my views (for those on here who are easily offended/triggered)

Not controversial... But who gets the St Helens job. Hook or flanno

NRL Fantasy doesn't reward attacking stats as generously as SC does, which imo, is too risky to put the C on any halves/backs

What changes are we anticipating in TLT today?

Fifi starting
Papen FB, Hughes HB, Croft bench
Duges FB
Matto 2RF
Tevaga dropped
Surgess named

Arrow should be named

No surprise but Tevaga and Keighran to be hooker rotation this week.

From that article, looks like Keighran will start and Tevaga from bench? Would be odd if that was the case. My god theyre gonna get smashed this week

Pretty sure it is the other way around. Blake Greens quote says "we have Jazz in there this week". Well, you had him there last week as well.

@Camo123 Just realized you're Linnett to Win It. Any chance you could remove yourself from the Storm's league so I can get a crack at winning the merchs? Jk, you're killing it, 300 points clear from 2nd. Im hoping they at least give bumper stickers for coming top 3

Yeah that would make more sense, just interepted "Hooker Karl Lawton (shoulder) didn't take part in contact on Tuesday, leaving reserve-grade half Adam Keighran to run at dummy half alongside Jazz Tevaga." as Keighran starting.

I like the Tevaga one.

Hayne’s foot didn’t touch the line.

Host over Lawrie.

I'll probably captain DCE this week, just to mix it up a bit

@ nrl physio - Egan shoulder & Luai eye won't play this week.

Did that trade last week and started out with a massive 3 point net gain!

Don't regret it though as it only cost $8k and the signs from Matto at lock aren't promising..... however I still have a couple of trades left which i'm going to sit on for a little bit.

Would probably hold for a week or so and then pull the trigger

I went Watson>jurbo two weeks ago. An additional solitary point has cost me 70k.

It was the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals. Sad.

You know you can pinpoint the exact moment the warriors start losing games and the broncos started winning?

CHT should have stayed at 6 the entire season.

He flogged him in the head and knocked him out. If that's not a case to miss a game i don't know what is, no matter the team.  

I counted at least 20 other tackles like that last round, no one got a grade 2.

In fact Tatola’ high tackle on a Shark was worse than Sam’s but he got nothing.

It’s due to Sam’ reputation imo as to why he got a grade two and why the other 19 or so other players didn’t?

Why did Vaughan and Aitken get off for crusher tackles? If Sam did a crusher, all hell would break loose. It seems if Sam farts he’s charged.

Grade 1 is sufficient for his hit on Moylan which is 95 points.

Answer me why Jake Turbo, McGuire and JWH get away with murder and JWH got nothing for the headbutt the other week!

I haven’t forgotten in 2015 either what Gallen did to Kyle Turner and it stuffed Kyle up for two years after that and his confidence was shot and Gallen didn’t even get charged, that’s the biggest stuff up I’ve seen.

Oh and they let Ponga off for a shoulder charge that hit the head recently too.

Thing with Jurbo, he's a slow burning 55 pointer. He'll get an early rest if Manly are 20+ up. They play the warriors this week but have a decent fixture on the run home next week
