JUST IN: Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has announced Viliame Kikau won’t play in tomorrow’s trial against the Eels. Says it’s not injury related, Cleary just wants him primed for Round 1.

Won't that give them the munchies and then they'll want KFC?

I heard years ago NZ has the highest per capita consumption of KFC in the world

Spoiler:

Magically made a team with $0 ITB - Thought I'd share.

What are everyones thoughts on having cash reserves? What is an optimum amount & why?

I like $50K +, but as said it's a by product of the team I pick. One year I went in with $16K couple of injuries and a TLT that didn't fall my way and I'm double trading or carring injuries into ropund 2. Never again.

Do you know if Fanhub pay in Imperial credits?

Imperial credits? Probably not, I heard Beskar is pretty popular at the moment though, with all that baby Yoda stuff going around

Well, I'm convinced now.

I was expecting him to say how last year was as good as it will get, and now he just plans to coast to retirement doing as little work as possible.

Talking of prizes, I'd just like to mention what a shit prize $750 worth of KFC is.

Small KFC vouchers are fine for weekly prizes, but does anyone actually want $750 of the stuff?
That is weekly KFC for months. For 21 person its enough to get a zinger box every week for over a year.

If I come 4th I might have a 2nd wedding and cater it with Fantasy KFC winnings

Don't get Papi's career aspirations confused with my own.

1800 chicken nuggets is nothing to sneeze at, that's about 1 nugget for every Rabbits21 team list

But yeah, I am struggling to spend my NRL shop voucher, not to be ungrateful but there is barely any stock on there compared to say the Sharks store
Mostly grabbed some Kiwi clearance gear with it, otherwise will have to get some off these for the bedroom

If only the 3d figurine was life sized

I'll be stunned if Coates gets the wing nod over Isaako come round 1, he was crap in the trial game and we need Isaako's goal-kicking.

Wonder if GK goes to Staggs or Croft.

Whoever it goes to, their stocks may rise a little. If Croft, he might come into consideration.

An anatomically correct.......

He even has a biography movie coming up which looks interesting for 'research' purposes
I still think Scarlett Johansson was miscast in the role though

Cook friend koro brailey

Luai mangolious Walters musgrove

I’d put Walters up to 2nd half then try to upgrade Coates.

Staggs kicked in the trial last week, I think he'd get it. He isn't too bad. Kicked 76% in Q CUP.

I'd honestly be a bit worried if we do pick Coates over Isaako though.. seems outrageous.

I am assuming Isaako is just on the bench this week to give him a run at FB when he comes on for Bird (while fresh). He doesn't really need a trial on the wing.. although it seems like the decision on Bird at FB has already been made.

They've given him the number 3 jersey. What teases, I'd but for sure if he came in jersey 12
